A gift for all Rudy fans, enjoy it!
It´s a video in Spanish from canal+, but it´s very good and there are a lot of english so i dont think you cant understand.

It shows the beginning of Rudy´s life in Portland. I love it when he is seeing some houses and says: Oh my god! (Synonymous of "Joder!" in spanish) xD It is necessary to bear in mind that Rudy is just 23.
Also, it shows Sergio´s house

It's great!
I only wish we could somehow get English subtitles, or an English transcript of the audio.

awesome
Gotta love the Oregon track shirt when he left his house…
and what was he saying to his golden retriever? Seems like they have a close relationship.

He says...
Rudy said that when he was sad, he always see his playful dog and sometimes he was changing him very much be nice or badly.
Do you understand? (my english is very poor sorry)

yeah, I think I understand what you said.
When Rudy is sad, he can go see his dog and become happy again?
That was a great scene with Rudy down on the floor nuzzling up to the soft fur of his dog. Very emotional scene.

What? the fact that Rudy could save the entire world from zombies if he felt like it? I guess… the only difference is that it would only take him a few minutes…

........... and he's a golden retriever guy, which cements his place in my heart.
It’s pretty clear after watching this that there is NO WAY Sergio is going anywhere by trade this year.

Great stuff
Sad that he had to leave his behind. Nice Oregon shirt. Nice mom. The overview of Portland welcoming Rudy for the Spanish viewers was funny.
And his house looks a bit bigger than Sergio’s ;-)

Way to hold your tongue
Almart 1 posted this in the fanshots a couple of days ago. It’s respectable that you didn’t blow your own whistle, but I will for you. I guess people just need to check the fanshots more often. And you call yourself B-edgers.

Rudy
Great person on & off the court. Hopefully his success here draws attraction as a “Spurs Northwest”. We all know how Sergio brought in Rudy & how much KP likes his Eurostash’s.
Acquire Serge Ibaka.

Transcription, part #1 of 2
You can run this through http://translate.google.com to get an idea of what they’re saying. If I have time I’ll try to translate some of it to English myself. Spanish is not my native language though…
En los Juegos de Pekin hubo muchas imagenes que han quedado para la historia
Por ejemplo esta imagen del mate que invento Rudy Fernandez ante Dwight Howard,
quizas el pivot mas poderoso de toda la NBA
Fernandez, lo intenta por dentro…
Oh! Que mate!
En las Olimpiadas? Claro que lo vi! Y grite!
Anime contra Estados Unidos con ese mate!
Increible!
Fue la primera vez que le vi
Estabamos todos salibando
Oh Dios mio!
Y en el momento pense…“a ver, hagas lo que hagas puede ser que te haga un tapon”. Y era de un 80%"
Supongo que dijo: "Tu vas a la NBA, no? Pues ya nos veremos
En Portland ya sabian que Rudy Fernandez no era un novato mas.
Por eso la recibieron como a toda una estrella del mundo del basket
Y nosotros? Pues nosotros fuimos su sombra
Siempre desde pequeno suenas con estar en la NBA, no?
Y tengo la suerte de poder entrar en esa historia y estoy muy contento
Estoy con el miedo ese…si voy a encajar en la liga, si voy a encajar en el equipo…
Unos miedos y nervios que van por dentro, porque Rudy es un tipo tranquilo
Ademas pera la familia Fernandez esta no es una aventura nueva.
Ya lo vivieron cuando la hemana de Rudy, Marta, se fue a jugar al baloncesto a Los Angeles
Parece que te vayas a vivir fuera!
Aunque simpre es algo especial
Dejas muchas cosas alli, y a mucha gente
Tambien a mi perro Max, que la verdad es que se le va a echar de menos
A lo mejor estaba triste y tal, siempre lo veia y estaba ahi jugueton
y a veces te cambiaba muchisimo el estar bien o el estar mal
Desde pequeno pues siempre ves a esos jugadores, los tienes en el poster
y ahora poder jugar contra ellos pues para mi es un sueno
Un sueno que empezaba desde muy pequeno, eso si, tras un escarceo en otro deporte
Cuando tenia 7 anos en Mallorca no podia jugar federado hasta los 9 anos a baloncesto
Y en Mallorca si que el futbol 7 pues dejaban jugar a los 7 anos
Y jugo dos anos, el segundo ano quedo Pichichi y los dos anos quedaron campeones.
Entonces el segundo ano lo quiso fichar el Mallorca
Pero con un padre, una madre y una hermana jugadores de baloncesto,
el tenia clara su eleccion y pronto empezo a destacar
Rudy ha ido cumpliendo retos y por fin llega el que tanto deseaba, la NBA
Ciertamente es un sueno, o sea “desde pequenos sonaba con esto y he llegado, no?”
Ahora que le salga bien
La primera sorpresa, el recibimiento en el aeropueto de Portland
(RUDY, RUDY, RUDY!!!)
Increible, increible, la verdad es que ha sido una pasada
Paracia un jugador de futbol incluso de Espana, justo al llegar que haya 200 personas ahi gritando tu nombre
Espero a mi madre!
Rudy viaja con su madre que, al igual que hizo con su hija Marta,
ha venido a pasar los primeros meses con el en su nueva ciudad
Decidimos que si daba el paso a la NBA pues…bueno lo decidi yo
Me dijo: “Mama, tu te vendras conmigo al principio, no?”
Le dije: “Si, claro que si”
Ella tenia claro que tenia que estar con su nino pequeno y ayudarle en lo que fuera
Este es el campo de los Blazers, el Rose Garden
Encantada de conocerla. Bienvenida Rudy, Cheri Hanson de comunicacion. Encantada de conocerte
Alli se celebra una rueda de prensa
Alguien pregunta que piensa Rudy al jugar con todos esas estrellas
Su agente, Gerard Darnes, taduce la respuesta
El primer pensamiento es respeto
El segundo es que voy a patearles el culo y tratar de ganar
La reaccion no se hace esperar
Primero el entrenador
Me gusta!
Despues el jefe
A mi tambien!
Hay momentos que digo: “A mi me gustaria que tuviera unos hijos normales, que estuvieran estudiando cualquier cosa”
Bueno, ya estas aqui!
Ya has aterrizao!
Es un orgullo, lo que pasa es que no deja de ser como madre
pues siempre tienes aquel miedo de como les pueda ir, de si la decision es la adeuada o no
Es complicado, yo lo vivo regular nada mas
Escuche la rueda de prensa cuando llego y creo que es un hombre de buen corazon
Esperamos que la vaya muy bien aqui en los Trail Blazers
Me llamo David. Soy conductor de Radio Cab
Este es el taxi numero 18 y es vuestro coche.
Yo solo soy el conductor, decidme donde quereis ir
Bienvenido Rudy!
Vamos Rudy, vamos!
Bienvenido a Portland Rudy!
Vamos Blazers!
Viva Rudy GO!
Puedas casarte aqui y empezar a formar tu familia
Bienvenidos a Portland
La conexion espanola! Rudy y Sergio! Por siempre y para siempre!
Es lo mejor que ha pasado desde que Espana invadio Francia en mil novecientos…
…no, era broma
Es un muy bien jugador, estamos muy contentos de tenerle…
…y nunca os lo vamos a devolver, se va quedar aqui
Antes de pensar en baloncesto a Rudy le toca orta cosa, elegir casa, toda una experiencia
Ay va!
Joder…
Joder!
Hostia! Una casa de perro?
Mama!
Tenemos lago y todo
Mi madre esta…
Es que es increible…
Dice que esto era, seguramente, para poner una mesa de poker
Seguro que estaba preparado para una mesa de poker
OK
Tendremos que jugar al poker!
La casa muy bien pero…aqui…
La proxima es mas bonita
Si? Mas?
Nos estan ensenando unas mansiones que yo no acabo de tenar claro…
Rudy dice: “Si, si mama, porque como va a venir mucha gente a verme…”
Digo: “Si hijo, pero no vas a tener una mansion de cinco habitaciones para dos dias que vengan a verte”
En la siguiente hay algo que hace pensar a Rudy
Tiene hasta columpios
Ahi en el jardin hay columpios, no se si los habreis visto pero hay columpios, o sea…
Cuando estas ahi que hay viento y chirria
Aqui que llueve, yo solo…
El otro dia vi una pelicula… “Un asesino en Portland” o algo asi
Digo, no puede ser!
Tengo otras casas para ensenaros, pero Sergio me ha dicho…
Oh Pam! Ensenales estas a Rudy. Le van a encantar!
Dificil eleccion, aunque, que mejor que preguntar a alguien que ya ha pasado por eso?
Hola, que tal? Esta es mi casa, pasad
Fue un poco… pues la primera, y no sabia bien donde queria vivir
y busque algo pues cerca de donde entrenaba
Que haya mucha luz, al ser Portland una ciudad muy oscura
pues que sea abierta la casa y que tenga pues espacio, tu intimidad…
En general se hace la vida mucho mas en casa, no estan tanto en la calle
Eso tambien lo echo de menos de Espana que a mi me gusta estar en la calle
ir a tomarme algo, ir a comer fuera, a cenar fuera
Si es cierto que ha habido epocas que no he estado tan contento
pero nunca he pensado en haberme quedado
ya paso y ya decidi el venirme, y estoy contento con la decision que he tamado
por supuesto que ha habido momentos malos,
pero ojala en el futuro haya momentos buenos y los apreciare muchisimo mas
En la otra punta de la ciudad Rudy sique con sus compromisos al margen del baloncesto
Esta vez asiste a un torneo de golf organizado por el club
Hoy esta con nosotros Rudy Fernandez

English translation for part of it...
(Narrator)
At the Beijing Games, there were many images that have been made for history. For example, the image of the inventive dunk Rudy Fernandez did before Dwight Howard, perhaps the most powerful center of the entire NBA.
(Sports Announcer)
Fernandez, drives inside…
Oh! What a slam!
(Fans)
The Olympics? Of course I seen that! I screamed! I cheered against the US at that time…
Unbelievable!
That’s the first time I seen him
It has been salivating
Oh my God!
(Rudy)
And I thought at the time … “to look,
do whatever you can do to avoid a cap.”
“And I was 80% sure.”
I suppose Dwight Howard said: “You’re going to the NBA, no? Therefore, we’ll see each other on another occasion.”
(Narrator)
In Portland, they already knew that Rudy Fernandez was not a rookie anymore… That is why they welcomed a star in the world of basketball.
And us? Well, we are his past…
(Rudy)
Always as a child, you dream about being in the NBA, no?
And I am lucky enough to go into that story and I’m very happy
I have fears that … am I going to fit in the league? am I going to fit into the team? …
(Narrator)
Some fears and nerves are kept inside him, because Rudy is a quiet type.
Besides for the Fernandez family, this is not a new adventure. They lived it already when the sister of Rudy, Martha, went to play basketball in Los Angeles.
(Rudy’s mom)
Looks like you’re going to live your dreams out!
(Narrator)
While it is always something special
(Rudy)
I leave a lot of things back there, and many people.
Also, my dog Max, the truth is that I am going to miss her.
Maybe it is sad and such, I always looked to her and she was playful.
And sometimes it would change you a lot, good or bad.
(Rudy)
As a child, you look always to these players, you have in the poster.
And now to be able to play against them, well to me, it is a dream.
(Narrator)
A dream that began from very little, yes, after a wave in another sport.
When he was 7 years old, in Mallorca he was not able to play in the basketball league until he was 9 years.
In Mallorca if you were 7, you could play soccer. Therefore, he left to play with the 7 year olds.
And he played two years, the second year he remained with Pichichi and for two years, they remained champions.
Then after the second year, they wanted him to sign to Real Mallorca.
But with a father, mother and sister who were basketball players,
he had a clear choice, and soon began to reconsider.
Rudy had fulfilled challenges and now finally he reached for his ultimate desire, the NBA.
(Rudy)
It is certainly a dream, or was “as a child, I sounded this and I have come to this, no?”
(Narrator)
Now, it has gone well.

Woah!
That’s me at the airport getting my jersey signed by Rudy! It’s around the 3:20 mark. Thanks so much for linking this. It’s a really well done video. I’ll be hanging on to this one!
Thanks!
