Minnesota Timberwolves’ point guard Ricky Rubio has been waiting eagerly to hit the hardwood after going down with a torn ACL at the end of last year’s NBA season. But even more eager for Rubio’s return is adidas.

Two months after signing Rubio to an endorsement deal, adidas and Foot Locker have teamed up to start campaigning for the 21-year-old baller’s return—albeit in an unconventional way. Check out this spot featuring Rubio going from the basketball court to a humorous stint as a backyard wrestler.
