Ricky Rubio has been a fan-favorite since his arrival in Minnesota. That has to do a lot with his play on the court, but also has to do a lot with the person Rubio is. He's a fun-loving and generous 24 year-old who happens to play basketball. Here are 10 moments from the last year in which Rubio has stolen our hearts.

10.) His answer when asked to name the worst holiday gift he's ever received: "Presents are always nice."

9.) When he melted hearts by playing catch with a young fan during timeout.

8.) When he heroically fixed a little girl's bike so she could make it to the premier of Earth to Echo on time.

Check out my new ride. I only roll in style to see @earthtoecho Great movie to see this holiday. #EarthToEcho http://t.co/2MasgL3maK — Ricky Rubio (@rickyrubio9) July 1, 2014

7.) That time he tried to learn Mandarin.

6.) When he proved there's nothing wrong with being a momma's boy.

Because I love my mom. #repost @tonavives A photo posted by Ricky Rubio (@ruuufio) on Jun 6, 2014 at 2:19pm PDT

5.) When he stopped to photobomb this picture of the Timberwolves Academy campers before a game.
