All the Rondo hate (Tanguay's Army) reminds me of all the Lebron hate...
Both are championship-caliber players, both HOF bound, not to mention every great player would love to play with either of them. Remember: Great players need to play with great players to be truly great.
Rondo looking a bit nervous in first minutes, to be expected, but had a few great high bball IQ plays.
Rondo is HOF bound?
My bad, FUTURE Hall of Fame inductees... (as long as RR stays healthy for another 5 years or so
No, it was a legitimate question. Has he done enough to be considered that right now?
Certainly a question to debate, and maybe too early to tell... He will never make it based on points scored obviously, but when his career is all done someday hopefully many years from now, I think his assists and possibly rebounds and steals will add up to a HOF resume, not to mention all those triple doubles. I think it would really help his case if playoff stats were counted, as those are the games that really matter, but to be fair that excludes many great players on bad teams.
I think if you asked most coaches and players around the league, though at the end of RR's career, or even now, they would agree he is a HOF caliber player. I do wish he could take it to the rack relentlessly like he used to his first few years, but I think he is being smart with preserving his body, and is improving in other areas like passing and his mid-range shot.
