With each passing big game the Cavs play in, nba fans are becoming more and more aware of how much this guy sucks.
I haven't really understood that either. He's a top 5 pg and only getting better. Right now I'd only take Paul, Williams, Rose, and maybe Billups ahead of him. He's in a tie with TP for 5th. Dude's a triple double machine

Could be the dumbest thing I have heard you say.
No, just because I don't hold your beloved Tony Parker in such high regard as spur fan doesn't make it dumb. Basketball is played on both sides of the ball and Rondo is a badass defender, as well is a good slasher and passer. He >> TP in everything other than scoring. Rebounding, defense, passing, all by a long shot. Flame on if you want to
The Tony Parker slob knocking on this site is pretty hilarious.
He was by far their best player in the playoffs last year.
I'm off the wagon until he can hit a mid-range.
He'll never have a consistent jumper with those big ass hands, but it's not like Parker's jumper lights the world on fire, and with him, it's not an issue of hand size, it's an issue of he doesn't work on his shot as much as he should.
Other than having a slightly better mid range jumper, what does Parker do better than Rondo?
Rondo's way over-rated. I agree with Luva that he wouldn't be nearly as good if he weren't on the Celtics. His assist rate is inflated because guys like Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, KG don't miss much.
He's a great rebounder, great PG defender. He's not a good shooter, and only a decent passer, and can only go to one hand on his slashing.
He's a one-sided player; teams leave him to go defend other guys. I'd much rather see Rondo in the Playoffs than guys like CP3, Tony, DWill, etc.
If he doesn't re-sign with the Celtics, you guys will see how over-rated he is.
Put Rajon Rondo on a different team and he's Kirk Hinrich with less shooting ability.
Rondo is just as good at finishing at the rim at Parker is.
i guess we'll see who's better when they'll meet in the finals.
Parker only having a "Slightly better mid range game" than Rondo
Jeez your basketball takes are re ed. Rondo was having triple doubles out the ass last post season with no KG to pass to. Sure he has an aging Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, but D Will has Boozer, Millsap, Brewer. Tony Parker has Ginobili, Jefferson, and Duncan. Kidd has Dirk, Terry, and Marion. The point is, you can't take his triple doubles away from him for having teammates. You can't sit there and make what if's about what he would do and what type of numbers he "would" put up with other teams. All we know is that he dominates games with his defense and finds the open man while piling up assists and wins. Not to mention he's an underrated slasher and finisher at the rim. People have been discrediting him since his rookie year. Saying things like "will he be good enough for them to win it all or will he be the weak link." And then it was "he only looks good because he's on the Celtics and has KG." Well guess what, KG didn't play last postseason and Rondo was the best player on his team. Time to give the hate a rest fellas.
So far this year, while only through 3 games, he's averaging 12.3 ASSISTS AND ONLY 1.67 TURNOVERS! That is incredibly efficient. While shooting an equally incredibly efficient 63 ING % from the field and grabbing 6 rebounds AS A POINT GUARD! Not to mention 2.3 steals. Dude is a legit beast.
What? I can't hear you...I've got these trophies in my ears..

did Rajon Rondo reach his potential at the age of 19?
Rondo is really good. I don't think it's only because he plays with three superstars. He showed last playoffs that he can be a big time player, even in the spotlight of the post season. That said, I think $9 million a year is a pretty fair offer by Boston. Just because there are teams out there that way overpay for players, it doesn't mean Rondo should expect Boston to do so. Under NBA standards, he's probably worth somewhere between $8-10 million a year. To ask for upwards of $12 million is getting in that territory of either franchises in small markets have to way overpay for players or stupid owners or front offices who really don't give a about that kind of stuff like Cuban in Dallas or when New York was run by Isiah or Layden.
I'd be interested to see if any other team would really be willing to come anywhere close to $80 million over 5 years for Rondo. I can't see it. I think $50 million over 5 years might be as far as a team might be willing to go for his services.
Already resorting to 4 rings got. My work here is done
Jeez, you're just a stupid mother er.
Why can't you take away his assists for having great shooting teammates? You only get assists if your teammates make the shot. With great teammates, your assists go way up. With ty shooting teammates, your assists go way down.Rondo was having triple doubles out the ass last post season with no KG to pass to.

Rajon Rondo's assist stats are a direct result of having Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, KG to play with. Put Rajon Rondo on the Hornets and you tell me if he's going to have those assist stats. Stupid Mavfan
Yup, you know you've won an argument when Spurfan randomly brings up rings ( got).
No, he didn't.
So Rondo's 9.8 APG in the playoffs last year was cause of KG?
No, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce.
Pick a lane and stick with. Quit changing your argument.
