I like Rondo's game a lot. Such a smart point guard with great defensive skills and high intensity. Smart shot selection. Clever passer. Great inside the paint. He's very underrated, IMO.
I remember Parker claiming Rondo was overrated too. I guess most point guards don't like Rondo's physical plays and smug ass attitude. But I share with you that he's a great point guard.
Rondo seems to bother alot of people, he does have a cocky attitude so maybe that irritates other guys.
imo, what sets him apart is the combination of speed and strength. like many pg's in the league, he has the ability to drive into the paint, but unlike many of them he's able to finish against much stronger centers/pfs
i'd take him over our PG's anyday, if we had a healthy mac and yao, but he can't shoot to save his life, but AB can. I'd say Rondo is overall a better PG, but not a better scorer than AB.

Personally I'm a Brooks guy all the way, especially now. I'm so glad that one of these moronic previously proposed trades involving him didn't go through before. I'll take Brooks.
plus there's definitely bitterness there. CP has to feel sorry for himself when he sees Rondo playing with KG and Pierce when he's stuck with Okafor and Peja lol
Yeah CP3 is wasting his time in NOH... They aren't building anything around him. We need to get him over here! Bad Contracts+Paul for McGrady+Whatever non-starter
Chris Paul is the whole franchise and if they ever decides to part with him I'm assuming they would want AB in return. As much as I love AB you have to say yes to the deal. CP3 is the best point guard in the game, period. It's probably a pipe dream though.
Haha, believe me, when hes averaging 25-12 in a couple of years you wouldnt give a damn about his attitude when hes on your team. This guy is the real deal best PG in the NBA.
he can avg 25-12 on a subpar hornets team all he wants. they don't seem to be financially committed to winning. i would prefer williams if i had the choice between the two.
Prior to the game, Rondo told reporters that he was the best point guard in the league. Before that, Kendrick Perkins was quoted in the Boston Herald as saying that according to Rondo, the reason Paul gets all those assists is because "the ball is in his hands all the time". lol All started by Kendrick Perkins.
