Ricky Rubio is a point guard. He’s a pretty good point guard (depending on who you ask, anyway).
Rubio is mostly known for his passing ability, and not much more than that. But he is a good passer. Thursday during the 2016 Rio Olympics against Nigeria, Rubio was able to get up to new heights.
Literally.
Rubio stole the ball, and took the ball in for a dunk that was truly one for the ages. At least for him:

The dunk wasn’t vicious or anything, but it’s truly a rare moment. You probably won’t see that on an NBA floor, which makes it that much more special.
Spain would go on to beat Nigeria 96-87.
