Rondo was a problem. His legacy will fade as the years pass but those of us that watched him, we always will appreciate him and understand how cold #9 was
Rondo is one of the greatest playmakers in Celtics history. He was also a stout defender with the Celtics. He was always a great defender at Kentucky but I don't think anyone knew he'd turn into the playmaker he eventually became while in the NBA. I wish he received better the ovation he was given by the fans when he made his return to Boston. His nonchalant and cookie-cutter type reaction was a bit disappointing. We love him. I still see guys wearing his jersey. In fact, I saw someone just today wearing it while the guy was getting in his daily jog. The fans here haven't forgotten him at all. We still love Rondo.
Nah he’s loved where he’s played man. watching this after playing pickup for the first time in a while yesterday and it made me smile seeing so many passes I’d do that I most definitely naturally picked up from watching him. Just so creative and athletic
After his ACL tear on top of the team moving on from Pierce and KG as well as Doc leaving all played a factor in Rondo being traded which changed his whole career smh dude was a perfect fit in Bostin with the perfect cast of Vets around him that could hold him in check with a coach that allowed him to have a long leash on him! Rondo absolutely in his prime in Boston I'd take over any point guard besides maybe Magic or Stockton! Chris Paul ain't ever been at any point in n his career as good as Rondo was in Boston! Rondo was a killer! He had that Mamba mentality where he truly believed that he was the best player on the court no matter what
The most underrated about him he knew how to destroy the adjustments and control the game when It was really thight. That's why he was so good in the Playoffs he was like an oasis in the desert apart that he always delivered at that time of the season.
Top 5 passer all time in the NBA in my opinion. Possibly top 15 PG all time as well. One of the 1st few all around PGs to enter the league in the late 2000’s along with Russ and Rose. Such a gamer and competitor, his creativity in passing is up there with Magic, Bird, CP3
Rick Carlisle had rondo and didn’t want him to run the show because of the system that was in place but let Hali do the same type shit… Rick wasted rondo
