He's not crazy with this assertion. He's legit top 5.

I agree, as far as PURE point guard skill i.e. setting up the offense, dictating pace, keeping everyone involved, massaging egos, being an extension of the coach. I don't even see how this is debateble.

With that said, he is nowhere near the best PLAYER at the point guard position.

This assessment is 100% on point.. I think your last sentence explains why so many people try to downplay or underrate him.. He doesn't pass the eyeball test for casual fans...

He's right alongside Rose..my vote for no. 1 could go either way.

But let's note how he said, "I THINK I'm the best point guard", shouldn't that how an athlete of his caliber is supposed to talk/act?

Is there a story behind this? Im pretty sure Rondo rubs alot of nikkas (even on his own team) the wrong way. But with that said although I dont believe he's the best pg in the NBA , I have no problem with him saying that, fukk all that modesty shyt and its like he's Jeremy Lin saying it. Rondo is a beast.

Paul's frustration grows, even as he hides it - NBA - Yahoo! Sports

So, here was Rondo surrounded with an embarrassment of point guard riches – K.G., Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, a championship banner and a fat, new $55 million contract. Rondo felt emboldened, eager to engage Paul. The procession of trash talk, sources said, pushed into the personal when Rondo was heard to tell Paul, “I’ve got a ring, and you’re never gonna win one.”

As they traded technical fouls at the Boston Garden, as emotions escalated, sources said Rondo declared that Paul wished he could be him, suggesting that his frustration dripped with envy. On the way to the locker room, Hornets coach Byron Scott heard Paul insist that Rondo “is gonna respect me as a man,” and soon Paul started on his way down the corridor to tell the Celtics point guard himself.

That's some deep ass trolling from Rajon, lol and that was in 2009!

He is top 5:
5 Rondo
4 D-Will
3 Russy
2 CP3
1 Healthy D-Rose
But, right now, without Rose, he is 4.
SMH and if we are going by pure PG come on now brehs, Nash>Rondo as a pure PG that makes everyone else better and knows how to manage the game better.

I guess Barkley isn't an all time great PF because Bobby Knight cut him from the '84 Olympic team..

Just another reason why this guy has become one of my favorite players. Dude really doesn't give a damn how anyone feels :laugh: He just wants to win & get better. He's old school in a way.
