Say what you want about Harrison Barnes not being aggressive, but here’s a clip of him throwing down a one handed dunk on Nikola Pekovic. He even took the bump and was still able to get up and smash on Pekovic’s head. Source: Dime Magazine

After consulting with his doctor, T'Wolves point guard Ricky Rubio returned to practice with the team on Wednesday and has been cleared for full contact with no restrictions.
Loves return was bound to pay dividends
MINNEAPOLIS No knock on Kevin Love, but that was supposed to go well.
Those were the Kings, and the Timberwolves were on a five-game losing streak with something to prove. Those were the Kings, who went into the game 4-9. Those were the Kings, and to lose in Sacramento would be to declare some sort of alarm surrounding a team that started the season 5-2.
Combine all that with Love...
Rubio cleared for full-contact practices
MINNEAPOLIS The state of Minnesota just let out a massive sigh. After an eight-month absence, Ricky Rubio is back well, almost.
The Timberwolves announced Wednesday that Rubio has been cleared to participate in full-contact practices with no limitations. He visited with Dr. Richard Steadman in Vail, Colo., early this week, and this was the outcome the team expected going into...
Rubios mischievous nature shows on social media
MINNEAPOLIS It would not be a stretch to guess that Ricky Rubio is the only NBA player who would tweet a meme of two tiny bunnies whispering to one another as his means of announcing that he's heading to a doctor's appointment.
It's even less of a stretch to say that he's the only NBA player who, in doing so, would surprise no one.

Video: Barnes' facial on Pekovic is simply nasty
You knew something quite humiliating was coming at Minnesota's Nikola Pekovic when Warriors rookie Harrison Barnes came barreling towards him in the paint.
And by "humiliating," I mean Barnes absolutely made Pekovic look silly for even attempting to get in his way.
Check out Barnes' nasty one-handed dunk over the big man and giving him the stare down after he...

The truth is that he doesn’t, however you get a glimpse at what it would look like if he did in Ricky Rubio’s latest commercial for Foot Locker and Adidas. This is the third spot from Foot Locker which has caught my eye over the past month, the first featured James Harden and the third featured Carmelo Anthony. You may not think of Foot Locker being front and center with Nike...

Rubio's return could be sooner than expected
Kevin Love shocked a lot of people when he made his season debut for the Minnesota Timberwolves last week. He was supposed to be out a little bit longer but there he was, scoring and rebounding like he hadn’t missed any time at all.
There must be some sort of healing formula in the water up in Minnesota because Ricky Rubio is reportedly on track to come back faster than originally...
