lol Best point guard in the NBA

[TE]

Interviewer: Do you think you're the best point guard in the league?
Rondo: Do I think I'm the best?

Seconds later...

Rondo: Yes, I do.


Playing with the talent on the Celtics, shit I would average 5+ assists.


Nothing but a peace of shit bona fide scrub.

[Rummpd]

Losing to the vaunted Kings right now!

[Pelicans78]

Rondo's a very good PG.

[HarlemHeat37]

Why would he say no?..

[redzero]

Rondo's so good that the Lakers didn't even bother defending him in the Finals.

[8FOR!3]

Rondo's a top 5 PG. He's not Chris Paul/Deron Williams though.

[Darth_Pelican]

Put CP3, DWill, or Rose on a scrub team, and they will probably add about 10-12 wins for that team.

Put Rondo on a scrub team, and how many wins do you honestly think he adds? I say mabye 2.

[Greg Oden]

obviously the OP is butthurt by this because he thinks Tony Parker is better than Rondo.

[MavDynasty]

lol best pg in the NBA who can't shoot for shit.

reminds me of M>S with KG

[Nahtanoj]

obviously the OP is butthurt by this because he thinks Tony Parker is better than Rondo.

Parker is better offensively.

[redzero]

Parker is better offensively.

You do know that passing is a part of the offense, right?

[LnGrrrR]

Losing to the vaunted Kings right now!

Premature ejaculation :lol

[Killakobe81]

Rondo's a top 5 PG. He's not Chris Paul/Deron Williams though.

I'll co-sign this. he nees to improve his shot to get to the top 3 ...

[Killakobe81]

oops wrong thread ...

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

I can see him being best.
Is the OP on crack??? bona fide scrub??????

[Hooks]

You do know that passing is a part of the offense, right?


Parker would probably average just as much or even more assists on the Celts. The Celts are staaaaaaaaacked with offensive weapons.

TP, Cp3, D-Will, Rose, Westbrook>Rondo

[Bukefal]

Rondo's a very good PG.

No he's not. He's hype and of course he himself thinks he is :lol

As already said, put him on another team and see how he does/sucks.

[Giuseppe]

Rondo is the best PG, and has been for a number of years.

[ALVAREZ6]

Why would he say no?..

Because there are 2 PGs in the league that are superior. He is not humble, he is another cocky faggot Boston Celtic.

FUCK BOSTON, LA, & MIAMI

None of those teams are deserving of jack shit

[Giuseppe]

He's humble >in game< if you watch him.

[ALVAREZ6]

It's a shame he'll likely be a Celtic for all of his career. I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL PP, KG, SHAQ, AND RAYRAY ALLEN RETIRE. :lmao @ pest PG in league when cannot shoot for fuck and has all of these players to assist. Essentially, Rondo's numbers tell me he's just a product of the system, of his team. He's definitely a great player, but the guy never shoots and literally passes all game long...to that Celtics team...with a pretty damn strong bench as well. Seriously, in a couple of years, what's he gonna claim himself to be when he's averaging 5-7 assists per game and still bricking jumper after jumper?

CROFL Rondo

[ALVAREZ6]

He's humble >in game< if you watch him.

Claiming yourself to be the best PG in the world, when there are obviously better PGs out there, is pretty fucking ridiculous.

[hater]

On a given night he can be the best PG out there. So I think ppl here are making too much ado about nothing.

[Giuseppe]

Claiming yourself to be the best PG in the world, when there are obviously better PGs out there, is pretty fucking ridiculous.

But, his point is legitimately arguable, Al. Is it laid to rest? No. But, he, or, anybody that makes the argument for him is well within the margin of error.

He's a winner. There are damn few of those in this league.

Right now. This minute, I'd trade any one player off our roster for him/sans Kobe.

[ALVAREZ6]

But, his point is legitimately arguable, Al. Is it laid to rest? No. But, he, or, anybody that makes the argument for him is well within the margin of error.
It is maybe legitimately arguable, there's no doubt he's great and he's very good defensively too. But when an interviewer asks you if you're the best, and you respond "Yes, I do" so assuredly when Chris Paul and Deron Williams exist...is just a complete slap in the face to those players.


He's a winner. There are damn few of those in this league.

Right now. This minute, I'd trade any one player off our roster for him/sans Kobe.
Don't give me that "winner" crap...he's not a proven individual winner my friend. No.

He is a Celtic. He is no more winner than D-Will. If Deron Williams is on the Celtics, they lose maybe 5 games all year long. And then sweep the playoffs entirely including the finals.

[ALVAREZ6]

Right now. This minute, I'd trade any one player off our roster for him/sans Kobe.
I probably would too.



But that has nothing to do with anything, because you could also say the same for D-Will or Chris Paul or Derrick Rose. You would, don't deny it.

[Cry Havoc]

You do know that passing is a part of the offense, right?

I find that odd, because as has been shown, Rondo seems to get the assists on offense even on plays where he didn't touch the ball, or made the 3rd to last pass to the guy that scored.

[Giuseppe]

You're inconsolable over this Rondo, fellow, Al. It's personal with you.

You're never this outlandish otherwise.

[Giuseppe]

I probably would too.



But that has nothing to do with anything, because you could also say the same for D-Will or Chris Paul or Derrick Rose. You would, don't deny it.

Not for Williams or Paul. I don't buy those two, at all.

Rose, I would admittedly consider it.

[ALVAREZ6]

Giuseppe, question for ya. When the Miami Heat win a championship sometime in the next 3-4 years, will you also claim LeBron a winner? I wouldn't, for obvious reasons.

[Giuseppe]

Giuseppe, question for ya. When the Miami Heat win a championship sometime in the next 3-4 years, will you also claim LeBron a winner? I wouldn't, for obvious reasons.

Mostly likely I'd have to, Al. In order for them to ring, James will have to go to the place where all champions go in order to ring. He won't ring at the level he's played at to this point.

[ChrisRichards]

Giuseppe, question for ya. When the Miami Heat win a championship sometime in the next 3-4 years, will you also claim LeBron a winner? I wouldn't, for obvious reasons.
Thats stupid, tbh.

[ALVAREZ6]

Not for Williams or Paul. I don't buy those two, at all.

Rose, I would admittedly consider it.
Well given if you're not trading Kobe for Rondo, you're going to have to give up Pau most likely. You're going to need offense, not just passing and never shooting. Is Rondo only going to pass to Kobe and average 13 assists there as well? Perhaps...but the Lakers would lose almost every game because a Laker team without Pau, given how much Kobe chucks...it would take probably 40 FGA per game from Mamba for Rondo to keep those averages up.


You would be much better off with a guy like CP3 or Deron Williams, who can do everything Rondo does while scoring a lot as well.

[ALVAREZ6]

You're inconsolable over this Rondo, fellow, Al. It's personal with you.

You're never this outlandish otherwise.
I won't hesitate to admit I do not like the Celtics. I respect the shit out of essentially all of their players, and I'm clearly arguing against their attitudes in this thread.

To summarize and restate, when you are Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul and Deron Williams exist, you don't claim yourself to be the best PG in the league so assuredly.


Even Kobe Bryant might not do something like that when asked who is the best player in the league, all around. He might say he's the best one on one player, but I'm not sure he would respond:

"Me, next question, on to the next one. KD & Bron don't have shit over me."


I certainly would take either over Kobe at this point, but this is another one of those margin of error cases. None of those are miles ahead than the other.

[ALVAREZ6]

Thats stupid, tbh.

If you interpret "winner" in the literal sense, you're right.


But I don't think Giuseppe meant it in the literal sense when describing Rondo. If he did, that would be equally stupid in this argument, since he said he'd take Rondo partially because he's a winner (literally a championship winner). Nazr Mohammed is a winner as well in this sense.

[ChrisRichards]

Oh well in that case, I agree with you.

[ohmwrecker]

Rondo could probably be a much better scorer if he had to be. He just has more capable offensive weapons at his disposal.
In any other pertinent category, he is the most efficient PG in the league. His abilty to not be hindered by his limitations just makes him more effective.
Paul and Williams have their flaws as well.

[Giuseppe]

His abilty to not be hindered by his limitations just makes him more effective.

Wrecker/goods/precise style.

[Bito Corleone]

Probably the best point guard that is a zero scoring threat to ever play the game. That being said. There are many (at least 4) PGs in the NBA right now that are better.

Ah the "put him on another team" card being used here. Yes Rondo has flaws. Yes he isn't the best pg in the league. I bet Rondo would be successful anywhere else. The guy isn't a scrub and he isn't "all hype". He is a damn good pg. It helps that he doesn't have as much pressure, but the guy is talented. I can't believe you are denying that. :lmao:lmao

This is almost as funny as the other spurs fan who shat all over Perkins considering he is better than any other spurs big outside of Duncan.

[ohmwrecker]

Bukefail should stick to making game threads tbh.

[jjktkk]

This is almost as funny as the other spurs fan who shat all over Perkins considering he is better than any other spurs big outside of Duncan.

Not really saying a whole bunch there tbh. Perkins is a tough, physical, defender, but pretty limited offensively. I do like him as a player though.

[LnGrrrR]

LOTS of Rondo butthurt on this forum.

[redzero]

I'm trying to understand your reasoning, Culburn. Dwyane Wade carried his team to a championship, and you're not sure he's a winner. Rondo won a Championship as the fourth best player (i.e., a role player) on his team, but he's a winner?

[Giuseppe]

I have no empiricals to bear out my reasoning twixt the two.

The '06 ring by Wade and Miami is a difficult one to stomach, but, I have to because it's my religion, so I don't & I won't qualify it, but, it does shade my judgment as to the worthyness of Wade. I need desperately to see Wade win another before I'll let him go in peace. I don't need that with Rondo. One was enough. His behavior in Game 7 when all was lost on that final three from the corner was astounding. Bryant there did not believe in Rondo and ran to Allen. It was a seminal moment.

Rondo will become lost in the game. Wade is still enamored watching it.

[redzero]

So, let me get this straight: the fact that Rondo made one 3-pointer after Kobe left him is enough to declare Rondo a winner? You do know that Kobe left him because nobody on the Lakers respected his shot? You do know that the Lakers dared Rondo to hit jumpshots the entire series, and Rondo failed to make them pay, right?

So, you are saying that Rondo is a winner because he hits one 3-pointer? That's what makes him better than Paul and Williams?

Dwyane Wade carried his team to a championship--something Rondo has never done--but Rondo is a winner because he hit a 3-pointer when down five? Using that logic, isn't Derek Fisher even better? Fisher has made many big shots on on championship teams. Fisher has won five rings as a role player and Rondo has won one, so isn't Fisher the best point guard in the NBA?

I'm not putting words in your mouth. You have misunderstood my point. I am comparing Fisher and Rondo. I am, not you. I am comparing them so I can ask you a question.

That question is as follows:

If both Rondo and Fisher have hit big shots, and if Rondo and Fisher have won championships as role players, why--using the reasoning you have used in this thread--isn't Fisher the best point guard in the NBA?

I pass, Red.

[UnWantedTheory]

Rondo is a damn good PG. I think alot of it has to do with the team around him, but whatevs,as he is still very talented. Top 5-6 for sure. I use to think he wasn't even top 10 quality,but he certainly has proved me wrong. With that said, I would still take Cp3,D-Will,Rose,Westbrook or TP over him.

[Brazil]

Rondo isn't good. He is hype and nothing else. It is simply the system making him look good. It has nothing to do with talent. Put him in another system and he is a scrub.

ppl said that about Amare too, he is a Steve Nash product, well apparently not

I'm pretty sure Rondo would be just fine on another team

[Xylus]

Rondo is easily one of the best PG's in the game, and is the best Celtic on the court on many nights. I love his confidence, too. He has a quiet arrogance and he's very competitive.

[cornbread]

I don't think Rondo is the best PG, but he's good enough and has won enough that I got no problem with him saying this out loud. If saying it makes him believe it and believing it makes him play better, more power to him.

Now I probably would get at least a little butthurt about it if Parker were anywhere close to being the best PG, but he's not so way-to-go Rondo.

[ALVAREZ6]

This post is retarded.

It's OK, once you commit to an argument you can back up and rephrase or admit a part of it was incorrect. Wade took an older, much less able Shaq and won it all. Shaq anchored the Lakers to the rings. If Wade ain't a winner, Kobe isn't either. Clearly neither is true.

For essentially entire career, Wade's team has been GARBAGE.

[ALVAREZ6]

I did not say he wasn't talented. He is and he is a good pg for Boston. He just isn't the best pg in the NBA, that's ridiculous and I think Paul, Rose, Williams, Westbrook and TP are better than him. And yes, I think he is hyped, because of his assists. If you would put another pg in his position they too would have such stats.

Why would any player not say they're the best at their position and give a possible foe the edge? How quickly people forget that Parker had a horrible outside shot as well until he improved on it. Rondo may do the same.

Give them an edge? what edge, a competitive playing advantage/edge, or are you saying it would be bad to give a verbal compliment/respect/consideration to an opponent?


It's not like every question has to be black or white...obviously he could say things like, it's close, it's tough to say, there's a lot of great PGs in the league, I think I'm one of the best but really there's a lot of us that are great...anything like this is also a possibility.

(this for those saying he cant shoot)

[LnGrrrR]

(this for those saying he cant shoot)

LIES! He can't shoot! :(

Seriously though, if he doesn't develop a solid mid-range jumper before he loses his burst/speed/athleticism, then I'll worry.

[ALVAREZ6]

he is 3rd in the NBA among point guards in FG% only behind Nash and Parker..

(this for those saying he cant shoot)

that's because he doesn't shoot jumpers because he knows he can't.

he gets steals and makes layups, or just makes layups.




nice try faggot, Nash maintains a high ass FG% while being much older and less athletic, shooting jumpers, 3s, anything.

[dallaskd]

Since when do point guards need to shoot jumpers?

[LnGrrrR]

Since when do point guards need to shoot jumpers?

Well, if Rondo had solid jumper, it would keep defenses honest.

Although defenders laying off of him this year seems to give him great passing lanes, hence the higher assist numbers.

Teams will probably give him room in the playoffs this year. He'll have to make them pay either with a jumper or great passes. We will see.

[dallaskd]

Mark jackson was considered the best PG in the league for some time and couldnt shoot worth shit. was a pure passer his whole career..

[dallaskd]

Unless he gets stuck on a shitty team. i.e Devin Harris, then Rondo will be fine

[dirk4mvp]

Kidd used to dominate games while shooting in the low 40s or even high 30s from the field. I don't get why spurfans of all people are giving a PG shit for not being able to shoot. It was barely a few years ago when Parker gained a halfway decent shot. And he's not even close to being the passer and defender Rondo is.

1. I'm giving Rondo shit in this thread's context. So, in comparison to the D-wills, the CP3s, the Roses, etc. I know he's a great player, I never said he was not. I just have a problem with him stating he's the best PG, implicitly saying CP3 and D-Will are both inferior, when they clearly are not.

2. Rondo dominates games currently, quite frankly..with the help of all of his buddies to pass to..Shaq, KG, Pierce, Allen..they're all on court with him at any given time, the defense isn't overwhelmed or anything. Kidding aside, Rondo can dominate games. It's just different than when D-Will drops 39 points on 16-24 shooting while recording 9 assists.

3. You're right, Parker did not have a consistent jumper earlier in his career. I will add to this and say I agree he is not close to being the passer and defender Rondo is. I don't think TP is a better PG, I've never claimed such a thing or ever put TP in my top 5 PGs in that thread. This is one of Tony's best assisting seasons and probably best, but he's never been an amazing ball distributer in his career. He's a small, quick as hell 1 without the vision the elite passers have.

Rondo dominates games currently, quite frankly..with the help of all of his buddies to pass to..Shaq, KG, Pierce, Allen..they're all on court with him at any given time, the defense isn't overwhelmed or anything. Kidding aside, Rondo can dominate games. It's just different than when D-Will drops 39 points on 16-24 shooting while recording 9 assists.

3. You're right, Parker did not have a consistent jumper earlier in his career. I will add to this and say I agree he is not close to being the passer and defender Rondo is. I don't think TP is a better PG, I've never claimed such a thing or ever put TP in my top 5 PGs in that thread. This is one of Tony's best assisting seasons and probably best, but he's never been an amazing ball distributer in his career. He's a small, quick as hell 1 without the vision the elite passers have.


Solid post, hammered all the points I would've hammered.

yeah because Alavarez's post there could've been dumbed down to "Nothing but a peace of shit bona fide scrub." :tu

Mark jackson was considered the best PG in the league for some time and couldnt shoot worth shit. was a pure passer his whole career..
