Tony Parker: Rondo is the most overrated PG in the NBA

[goCeltics]

mr eva is the most overated point guard. He be nothing without timmy, I'm thing of dropping off the one fantasy team where I own him just out of principle.

...and there will be some happy, salivating people awaiting in your league...

Always rather maddening to see players calling each other out like that.

But ... Parker's clearly one of the best. When and if Rondo develops a perimeter game, he'll shut critics like Parker up.

Feb. 8th....Feb. 8th.

I can hear the "Rondo's better" chants already

[xmuscularghandix]

Rondo and Tony Parker are essentially the same player, he's such a moron. Now everyone is just going to point out how He's only good becuase he has Duncan and Manu.

This is fantastic.  I love when other teams/players/coaches start up stuff like this.  This is sort of like the Raptors (and lots of others) whining about KG being too "over the top" with his aggressiveness.  It's also akin to everyone else hating on the Celtics for talking trash and being intense.

Didn't GP also talk some junk about Rondo?  The point is, look what it's done.  Nothing but make the Celtics hungrier to win.  Oh, I just hope the rest of the league keeps it coming Raymond Felton style: I'm paraphrasing here "They talk a lot of smack but then sort of back down when you get in their face."

tony parker isn't worthy of the initials TP

Wow, I don't usually agree with CoachBo but I do on this one.  Rondo clearly is not in the Paul/Williams and yes Parker class just yet and I even put Harris and Nelson slightly ahead in terms of what most teams would be looking for in a PG.  (I am not sure where to put Nash as he way well be twilighting.)

I am not sure about the whole overrated thing though.  Boston fans probably do over-rate him as evidenced by the 5 pages of posts but I am not sure the rest if the league does.  The bottom line is that Rondo is perfect for this team and would not be as good on a lot of other teams.

What is the big deal here?

The big deal here is the reason Parker claims Rondo is overrated.  He claims he's overrated  because of who he plays with, but fails to mention that he benefits the same way Rondo does, by playing with great players.  We have no idea how good Parker would be without Duncan.

i just offered mr eva for rajon rondo, doubt it gets accepted.

[BigAlTheFuture]

This fool. Rondo has KG and Pierce.. and you don't have Duncan and Manu? Gimme a break. Rondo is a better defender, better playmaker, better rebounder. The only thing Parker beats Rondo in is offense. Not saying Rondo is better than Parker, but it bugs me that he has the balls to call Rondo overrated when he's overrated, too. I can name 5 point guards at the top of my head that is better than Parker. This guy is too full of himself.

Celtics fans overrate everyone on the roster under 25.

[cordobes]

I don't agree with TP but there is a point to make; Playing next to KG/PP/RA is what makes so hard putting a number on Rondo's contract.  Rondo is good, but is he deserving "face of the franchise" money come contract time?  It will be interesting to see how that plays out.

The question is, Who is willing to over pay Rondo and take him away from us?

Good questions. Hope we don't end up biding against ourselves.

Very true (although it probably happens with every fanbase). But I doubt the fans of other teams - NBA fans in general - overrate Rondo - and that was Parker's point, I suppose.
