What was the reason Rondo was left off the Olympic team?

You put CP3 or DWill on the same Celtics teams and they got at least, minimum of one more ring. I'm not even trying to sh!t on Rondo, I think he's one of the best PG's in the L right now but imo he's just not better than the top 2 pg's in the game right now.

As much as I love rondo, you have to realize that he is a pretty polarizing person. Either you love him or you hate him. Plus Rondo is paranoid as fukk all the time and is always trying to think people are trying to disrespect him. Just like when :obama: styled on him. He could have laughed and shrugged it off, chuckled and said "I'm working on it Mr. President :myman:" Instead this nikka developed a permanent :dry: face.

So Rondo plays 19 playoff games this season, with No back up, playing at LEAST 40 minutes a game in 15 of the 19 games, double digit assist in all but 3 games...and averaged 17/12/7/2 for the entire playoffs with Ray Allen and Avery Bradley barely playing.....and he 'can't shoot' and can 'only pass' and blah blah blah blah blah.

Chris Paul played 11 playoff games this year, shot a lower FG% and averaged 18/8/5/3.


Don't even get me started on Deron Williams rebounding numbers in all of his playoff appearances.

What the hell?

If YOU had a choice to shoot five feet from the basket or ten feet, what would you choose?


When you answer that honestly, you'll see why I say Wilt, Shaq and Moses made that their choice more than the centers you mentioned because they were stronger in the low blocks to get that close shot than all the centers you mentioned.

But thats the thing, Shaq couldnt shoot it from outside 5 feet even if he was wide open. Same wit Rondo but obviously at a different position and with different parameters. But thats what makes them 2 nikkaz ill in totally different ways but same concept. They have a huge weakness or flaw in their games, but they still manage to dominate their respective positions. I hope u can see why i made that comparison now:heh:

BTW

I was just arguing the point that that dude made bout Rondo being overrated cuz he cant shoot which is horse sh!t just like nikkaz used to say Shaq was overrated cuz he couldnt shoot neither, but both of them did so many other things and dominated in different ways which actually makes them unique players. Hence the comparison, even though it is an odd one no doubt.

Rondo is a top 5 pg in the right now shooting or not. But CP3 and D Will are the top 2 imo. You add Westbrook another top 5 and you don't really need anymore pgs.

Folk's inability to read the game is astounding. All of these pro-Rondo arguments in this thread are transparent.
