I never understood this. Is he really an all-star? Is he really good enough to be Lebron's #2? I just don't see it. I get frustrated when I hear people say Rondo is only successful because he's passing to the big three, but if anyone leeched off someone else's talent and would be exposed on a differnet team---I'd say that's Mo Williams.

He's certainly never been overrated on these boards.

He was overrated last year...not so much this year.  Last year he was "the missing piece" and now he's just another starter.

He's horribly inconsistent.

I didn't realize he was rated that highly.

despite the fact that he wasnt highly regarded this year...in most peoples mind since he was an all start last year  they still envision him as an all start this year....he is no all star ...not even close   id like to smack that smug look off his face sometimes

Who's most people?  Mo wasn't even in the Top 10 for Eastern guards in the All-Star voting.

He's slightly overrated, and most definitely was last year when he was selected to the all-star team.

The biggest problem with Mo Williams is that he's had to guard Rose & Rondo.  I don't care who you are, you're not going to look very good too often in those matchups.

I believe that Mo Williams is Truely an All-Star PG. He just has the misfortune of playing against a potential once-in-a-lifetime PG in Rondo.

Rondo has just stepped up, Big Time. I believed he had this in him, but 29-18-13? On CLE?

Rondo was doing similar stuff to D Rose and ORL last year in the playoffs. The man is proving to raise it several levels in the Post Season.

No fault to Mo. He is still an All-Star. But Rondo has stepped up and the young man is Hungry.

Yes, all he can do is shoot and dunk on Paul Pierce half assing the contest. That is all. He's average at best. He doesn't deserve to be an all star.

I won't argue with his allstar selection last year but a couple young point guards including Rondo have blown past him.  He is decent but he won't make many allstar teams anymore.

Streaky shooter who loses focus easily.  Great player when things are going well but he tends to collapse easily.  He is quick to get down on himself as well.  Weak defender as well.  He is a nice complimentary piece, nothing more
