Rondo is one of the most entertaining players of all time.

Feels like my opinion on this is in the minority, but Rondo will always be one of my favorite Celtics ever. His one-armed performance against the Heat in 2011 was unbelievable, and he was the best player in several playoff series that featured players that got a lot more publicity than he did. The moment documented in the OP was another great one for Rondo.

I miss Rondo. Watching him destroy us in the first two games reminded me what a real point guard is. Always a lightning rod, you either love him or hate him.  I think his play has always been undervalued on Cetlicsblog, but people  that play with him and against him understand- what kind of player and teammate he is.  Bet Lebron would prefer Rondo to DWill.
