Grantland Writer Takes Ricky Rubio’s Starbucks Cup

Yes, this is a true story. The above picture is indeed the iced coffee cup of the Minnesota Timberwolves emerging star point guard, Ricky Rubio. According to Sarah Larimer of Grantland.com, their fellow journalist Andy Greenwald spotted Rubio in an L.A. Starbucks, alone, eating a fruit salad but it was his pal, ‘The Grantland Stalker’, Chris Ryan, who snatch up the rookies cup.

Hilarious? Absolutely.

How often do you see an NBA player, or a celebrity for that matter, at the same place you’re at and an opportunity to steal (although it’s really not stealing since it was in the trash, which means he no longer needed it) something that they bought, or dropped, presents itself? Not very often.

Also in her post, Sarah went on to present that she no longer wants the cup and threw out the idea of throwing it on Ebay to see if some crazy fan is just crazy, and willing enough to buy a used coffee cup. My guess is that someone will purchase the venti (correct me if I’m wrong) sized cup. After all, a ghosts’ cane sold on Ebay for $65,000. Oh, and don’t worry about the Excedrin thing, Sarah, I pop those with Jay’s BBQ-flavored chips like nothing.

That’s our secret, though.
