    The camera guy is a w@nker. Why agitate him when you know he was going to be emotional after a loss?

    Side Note - How could anyone find that jacket appealing?

    It should be expected, if you're a pro athlete and it's right after a game. However, if Rondo already told him not to, then it's not very smart to keep filming him, especially if there's nothing going on.

    the guy wasn't asking him questions or anything, he was just filming him, who cares?

    He didnt want to be filmed with his family around. If he was out in public i can understand being filmed but he wasn't.

    Yeah the only way I see Rondos reaction justifiable is if he had previously told the camera man to cut it out a few times.. Otherwise, I understand he's upset over the game, but cameras in the arena come with the job territory.

    Camera guys are going to roll no matter what, even if you ask them to stop...it's their job. If Rondo didn't react the way he did, we wouldn't even be watching this footage. But he decided to flip out, and now it's on youtube.

    The camera guy was so far away also. At first I thought he was a few feet away. But as rondo was walking toward him he zoomed out further and further lol. He wasn't bothering anyone

    Reports say the camera man has been following and filming Rondo around the clock for a few days now.

    He has little man syndrome, always trying to prove he's tough.

    He's doing a good job then, because he is pretty tough. There's history there anyways. Apparently this camera guy has been filming him 24/7 for like the last 3-4 days, and Rondo has asked him on multiple occasions to stop. There's no reason for the guy to continue filming him like that. But, Rondo does get angry easily.....he needs to get that in check.

    The players are the main parts of the NBA product. Part of the players' job is to be covered by the media. The media's job is to cover the players, game, and everything related in the arena. If the NBA let the cameraman back there, he has a right to film them. Like it or not, Rondo's job means he needs to let them cover him. Is it annoying? Yes, but that's part of the job.

    It'd be different if he were in a non-NBA private space like his home--obviously he should have a reasonable expectation of privacy there. Rondo needs to chill out. Obviously he was redirecting his own frustrations on the cameraman.
