In the blog "Dobles Figuras" (the title means both doble figures and something like two stars) which is written by Sergio and Rudy in the Spanish sports newspaper "Marca" Rudy writes about his feelings during the All-Star Weekend and makes an announcement: If he has decent percentages he will try to compete in the 3-point contest. Considerating the pathetic level of the contest this year, he is welcome.

I don't have enough time to elaborate a translation, so here's the output of google translator:

I'm in Portland, back in Phoenix. Have been so many things these days that I lived to be complicated than you can count on everything that has happened to me. I'll try, but I think it is impossible that you do an idea of what has been the weekend for me.

First, the bad: I'm bursting. I have done a 'back to back to back' two games on consecutive days, travel, Rookies and Party Competition. Furthermore, it is impossible for me to remember all the events I've done these days. Interviews, meetings with kids ... That you very tired, especially mentally. Still, despite the tiredness I can say that I do not change what I have lived here these days. It was a dream and I think everything went well.

I spend a lot of nerves with the Competition Mates. Many. Rather than a party, frankly. These days you realize the mental power that have the individual athletes who play sports. So Rafa Nadal is the best Spanish sportsmen of all time, if not the best.

There is much controversy, with scores of my mates in the contest. I think I deserved more, but what pleases me most is that other players think the same thing (I said so many: Durant, Westbrook ...), that the American press has opined in the same direction and, above all, rioja I told the people in Phoenix. It was amazing: everyone who crossed me in the street congratulating me and told me they thought it deserved more points. Besides, I love the amount of people I called. My friends were very supportive. Do when things go wrong, but even if all goes well your love is appreciated.

About the tribute to Martin Fernando, we had thought, I suggested, and Portland seemed like a great idea, which also had the guy I chose as the winner of the Marca.com. I was the first in a European Competition Mates and he was the first in everything. I am happy to have honored.

I played with his son Jan, who now plays for the Illescas LEB Oro in selections at lower levels. He is a year older than me, we are of the same promotion. I have the shirt of Fernando Martin in Portland and here, although I do not know if it will be possible, I would like to send his family to have a memory of mine.

As you have followed me all that much has happened in Phoenix, I will give you a scoop: today, I submitted to the Competition Mates of next year, but if I can and I have good rates at the start of next season I want to participate in the triples. See you there.
