Rondo is the best passer of the ball in the NBA right now. This is a non-negotiable fact.
You folk have elementary ball comprehension.
Rondo is that dude, even though I wanted that Pau and Rondo trade to happen. But, maybe Rondo might not want to play with Boston. When he dropped 44 points in game 2 against the Heat, he was rocking these:
He was rockin' those Kobe's. And the Big 3 is supposed to break up, and there was that Pau-Rondo deal, and the Lakers need a PG badly.
Do it Mitch!!! But, nah Rondo is dope, I got him as a top 5 PG:
5. Rondo
4. D-Will
3. Young Sabo
2. CP3
1. D-Rose
If only he can hit that jump shot on an every game basis like he did in game 2 against the Heat, than I think you have to say he might just be the best PG in the game because that's has really been his main and biggest issue in the game still.

DUUUVAAAAAALL!!!
IMO Rondo aint seeing Dwill, Rose (dont know about his injury) or CP3. Those guys were the main focus of their teams damn near since day 1. now if rondo can get a decent 15-20ft jumpshot and improve on his ft shooting he can leap those guys.
but him not being able to shoot hurt the Cetls man. Game 7, the heat pretty much gave him open ft jumpshots and he didnt take em.... I think his scoring numbers blow up in the POs because teams lay off him and realize he cant beat them by scoring, especially with his jumpshot in most cases.

I'm the only one?
There were a ton of people that were making that argument, and at worst, he's top 3 with Bron and Durant.
You can build a team around Rondo, anyone still hating on him and saying he's garbage is just hating for the sake of hating. Get over it.
dawg,...
rondo's success is attributed to doc rivers ramping him up.
without rivers and the big three,..duke will not do anything remotely close to what he has on the celt's.
he only has the job because he was taller than telfair.
west was nutso and greene just did not give a fukk.
he just became the option and he had to listen cause if he did not.
he would be d league level. he is DAMN LUCKY,......glenn doc rivers, one of the greatest pg bball minds in chicago history was coach of that team.
doc is why rondo is where he is period......
doc could have done the same with any pg.
who needed to be worked up and was of the height specifications required to make it worth doc's time.

Rondo isn't leaving, Ray and KG will most likely play on next year under small contracts which frees up a lot of cap space to go after someone like Josh Smith. Jeff Green will return as well so if you look at it that way, the C's could do a quick rebuild and challenge for the title again
Maybe I'm too optimistic though
lol,...at jeff green...
dawg, jeff green ain't gonna do a cotdamn thing.
the celt's better try to resign this team as is.
the nba owners held the player hostage with that cba/holdout.
plus, they played themselves by setting up these awful rules just to keep all the money for themselves.

Telfair was given the job and did poorly, proving that he could not effectively run an offense at his size and youth (he has since improved but still not a starter).
To say it was just because of his size is a reach though. Orien Greene was the same size or bigger than Rondo, so obviously on court performance dictated that Rondo was to be given the job.
West went nutso after his stint with the Celtics and was also outplayed by Rondo (though not by much). Sam Presti wanted Rondo in the Ray trade but Ainge held out for putting in Delonte instead, showing that even then, Rondo was higher pedigreed.
Doc has, on numerous occasions, noted that Rondo is one of, if not the most intelligent players he has coached. This attribute singles out the reason for his effectiveness far more than does his height. Secondly comes his confidence/arrogance, which allowed him to play alongside 3 HOFers fairly seamlessly. They have had their riffs every once in a while, but nothing suggests that its any more conflict than what any other team goes through.
Again, to say Doc chose him, or the job fell to him, mainly because of his size is a reach. It certainly doesn't hurt Rondo, as it allows him to see the passing lanes (in conjunction with being given space) and to occasionally post up, but it is not a primary factor in his success in comparison to intelligence and confidence.
I could name plenty of point guards Rondo's size or bigger that would not excel in Doc's system as much as Rondo does. In fact, coming into the draft, most scouts said that Rondo was an inch or two too short. He is only listed at 6'1.
So what you're saying is Jeff Green wouldn't help the C's on the offensive and defensive rebound areas where they have been severely lacking this entire season as well as providing a young set of legs to run with Rondo to improve the fast break game?
Have you even watched the Celtics play this regular season?

they already listed five and i can name three, to ten more pg's ....
who if put on the celt's would easily out produce.
or equal rondo with the celt's coaching and roster as well:
wall
irving
augustine
teague
holiday
lawson
curry
nash
not to mention a rook and over the hill veteran, in isiah thomas and andre miller. if they were on doc rivers roster and received the matrix of leadership rondo was given.
rondo is just a system player who has hof top pedigree'd, higher bball iq'd help, than the whole league at all the positions.
piru = highest bball iq execution level three in the league
rey rey = highest bball iq execution level @ the two in the league
kg = highest actualized pf in the eastern conference
doc rivers = highest pedigree'd coach in the league
not to mention the last finals teams,...that had undertaker and sheed....
sheed was so pedigree'd..fatigued in game seen he shut down the lakers almost singlehandidly in the frontcourt.
i could get at least fourteen top name to no name pg's max,..to do what rondo does in that system.
gtfoh,.....
only team rondo goes to,..where he looks good is golden state.
which is only because mark jackson is there and gs would be foolish to trade with boston with their current roster. which will only get better..
fukk a rondo,....dude just was on a stacked team with doc.
in game seven,..that nikka did not do a damn thing.
anybody can take a team by surprise when you are a pro who gets hot and never has a j. so they leave you open,..he only gets to the rack because of the pedigree of his players who know how to space the floor so he can.
anywhere else, other than doc and boston.
dude is exactly what his draft pedigree said:
erratic/no j/poor decision maker under duress/with an attitude that does not reflect his playability on the floor.
dude was last on the depth chart in the boston pg green lantern corp's days...
dude is huffness,..personified!!
