How did that video not get a like? I still laugh every time I see it.

“I’m not a big gay guy…I really like those guys that are rock solid.”

It’s an all timer lol

Tough crowd here wow.

Rudy Gay had an excellent NBA career. Top 5 in total points in franchise history, nearly $200M in contact earnings, and now he gets to spend his twilight years with free front row tickets to watch Steph Curry play

An absolute success of a life so far, congrats Rudy!

Tough crowd here wow.

There's a strong current here that passes harsh judgment on Rudy for failing to be truly great.

With no sense of pride, I locate myself in this group, and recognize that it says more about me than Rudy.

My hope is that Rudy lives well, appreciates his earned successes, and is grateful for what he has rather than feeling badly that he may not have accomplished what many of us feel he ought to have and still wish he would.

It's a pretty strange headspace he occupies, and pretty understandable, even if it confirms one of our greatest gifts as Husky fans while reflecting poorly on us by exposing that we can actually feel such disappointment & offer such criticism of one of our most talented, productive, and enduring players essentially for his not being a champion.

Rudy never really cared. He'll be known for always being good enough to get paid when his contact came up. When he was at his best, teams got better the year after he left them. He was a good pro that never won a thing. Not harsh, imo.

Rudy just wasn't here long enough for us to get his best. I wish we'd gotten one more season out of him. He would have been on another level in season 3.

I doubt it. He was focused on NBA since day 1 at UConn. Never gave 100%. The entire 2006 team was like that. Biggest underperforming team in uconn history

Rudy Gay seems to be a genuinely great guy, reps Huskies hard, is now known as a reliable veteran presence when he was cast as an empty stats guy with a losing mentality earlier in his career. To me, that stuff makes him awesome.

He’s also always been VERY good to great at any level since he started playing, even NBA. He’s never been a below average player.

Just because everyone wanted him to be something he maybe COULD have been doesn’t make it a disappointment.

Wish I had your mind reading powers, sounds cool

I don't read minds, I pick up on tells. Is cool.

Rudy never struck me as having that neurotic obsession to win that some guys do. TBH, probably not the worst thing for him as a person.

Rudy is a good guy and a nice person. Lacked killer instinct. Good player and a great teammate and has not had an issue becoming a role player mate in his career. Man. That is a very long Nba career.
