Yes and that's a major reason why he is better than ROSE, who is worse than PAUL.
>And look, 29 18 and 13 is otherworldly. Only Oscar and Wilt >ever got to or surpassed those numbers in the playoffs. And >they only did that once. And how old is Rondo? 24?! Shhhiii - >Better believe LeBron was a witness to Rondo yesterday.
He played a great game, we know, now stop your knee from jerking. Guys have had triple doubles in the playoffs before. Rondo could be argued as more of a gamer because we've seen him in more big games. That said, Paul was doing EVERYTHING for NO and has been for a while. Their best scorer, their facilitator, their biggest thief, their best outside shooter, everything. How easy is it to prop one guy up while he's playing well in the playoffs and the other guy's season is over? Compare their regular season work, Paul is clearly superior. He should have been the goddamned league MVP two years ago, he finished second on the arbitrary tiebreak of the final game of the season essentially.
>I think Rondo's the best pg in the league because he's far >more unique than CP, Deron, Rose. He has CP's drive and >Deron's toughness. Did you see Rondo yesterday? Charging >directly into LeBron or Shaq like those two are just fodder. >How many times have you seen Rondo fall down and you know for >a fact he won't get up after 'that one'? I've seen it about >four times already this series. Less than two minutes later, >Rondo's at the line, slightly wincing and making or missing >with about the same accuracy he has on chump fouls. Rondo's >insane. Maybe we all need to start to pick up roller skating. >Is Rondo in some low-key, Fight Club secrecy roller derby team >in the offseason?
So now he is the best in THE LEAGUE!?! Wow. Everybody gets up after being knocked down, man, if you're that impressed by Rondo I think you owe AI and Spree some retroactive knob slobbing.
>Most important part is that he doesn't have to even lead his >team in a conventional sense. He doesn't need to do anything >KG, Pierce or Ray could and he's respectful of that. Could CP >step aside like that? Don't know. Look at where CP was drafted >and where Rondo was drafted. Who had something to prove? The >better draft pick, always. Keeping that high contract depends >on it.
You mean he does not need to shoot accurately?
It doesn't matter where either guy was drafted now, that only means shit for your first contract. Both guys are SECURE as STARS now and all that chip-on-shoulder shit should have been deaded the second Rondo got his extension.
>Plus, you gotta love Rondo's intense modesty. Spewing cliches >in a monotone voice. That postgame interview explaining his >performance was classic. Paraphrased from giggling memory: >"Just aggressive and drove to the lane. Hit the glass for the >boards. As far as the assists, that's just guys making shots." >Such a hilarious rebuttal to LeBron's arrogance.
I hate when players talk in cliches and don't get it twisted Rondo is an assassin with tons of confidence. Oh yeah, Nash better, too, BTW and a better interview.
>These debates are pointless. It's simply been a long time >since I had so much fun watching a player play the game as I >did yesterday. Rondo jumped out of some 80s time machine and >gave us a brilliant throwback performance that I will never, >ever see from CP.
Uh, don't bet on it, Paul is only 24 and he is a better athlete and more skilled player than Rondo. And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
