Ricky Rubio, dropping euros(?)

Here’s a video of Ricky Rubio in a viral campaign in Spain.

Thanks to Luis in Doug Smith’s comment section.

UPDATE: Some thoughts from Raul Jimenez -

It’s a McDonald’s campaign. I watched it on ACB.com and they have also created a Youtube channel. Ricky is 18 years old now and he’s starting to appear in commercials (he didn’t do it before, except for an ACB sponsor’s commercial). His parents and his club, Joventut, took care to keep him off that world while he was younger (in Spain, 18 is the age to be considered an adult). This advertisement reminds me of the classic one with Larry Bird and M. Jordan in the eighties [Pete's note: It's the early nineties].

It’s not that I have something against this, although I don’t think McDonald’s is the best brand to represent. I mean, it’s not the healthiest food to eat as we all know, and with everybody from governments talking about fatter kids, about not abusing fast food … but, you know, that’s the way life is. Anyway, I think that many brands will fight for him now, and I suppose that he’ll get good money with advertisements which is fine (his contract with Joventut isn’t really high).

UPDATE 2: More Rubio videos at RickyLaCuela.com (”Ricky The School puts it in”).
