While most players could’ve allowed the business side of the NBA to affect their engagement and demeanor, Rubio did his best to hold it together. “To me, it’s not a surprise because I’ve known him for so long and it’s just who he is. He was doing this similar stuff and was this good of a guy back 10 years ago when I played with him when he was 19,” Ingles said. “It would’ve been easy for someone to kind of shut it down and just focus on basketball, be pissed off or take it out on the franchise or the fans but that’s not him. “I think at the end of the day, we all understand the business side of it and he’s just glad that he’s still here and hopefully for a lot longer.”
Now that Ingles is the league’s ironman, what’s his secret? “I could make a snide comment,” Snyder joked. After all, Ingles isn’t exactly known for the speed at which he runs up and down the court, nor for his wild danger-inducing athleticism. He’s, well, the man Jazz play-by-play commentator Craig Bolerjack calls “Slow-Mo Joe.”
“I do like to play basketball; it’s why I’ve played for however long. But it’s not like I’m preparing each week to keep the streak,” Ingles said. “I don’t even know what it is, to be really honest with you. So, cool.”
Rubio put up 25 points, five assists and four rebounds on the second night of a back-to-back versus the Mavericks, then invited teammate Joe Ingles to join him at Rowland Hall Middle School to interact with 45 campers on an off day. Ten of those were also from the Special Olympics Utah program, with president and CEO D’Arcy Dixon also in attendance.
