Is Rondo the best NBA PG? He's almost there.

[BballTim]

he's there. he carried this team to the ECF game 7. what did CP3 do? flop and got swept in the 2nd round?

Why does Rondo get credit for everything when things go well, and all his faults just get overlooked matter of factly?  Gee I would have thought KG's rejuvenation might have also had something to do with our playoff run.

There isn't a sports writer out there who thinks Rondo is the best.  Read the article the OP posted; the first few sentences say "I don't think Rondo is the best", it was just Rondo saying it himself.  The only place you'll find these arguments is here. 

I bet 30 of 30 GM's today would take Kyrie Irving over Rondo if given the choice between the two, and honestly I don't think it would be a difficult decision for them either.  Forget about comparing  him to CP3 D-will, Nash, etc.

  This took about 30 seconds to find.

  "3. Where does Rajon Rondo rank among point guards and has his postseason run changed your view of his standing?
 
Thomsen: Rondo is the best point guard in the NBA. Two years ago he told me that he is the best, and I agree with him. Can Derrick Rose stay healthy? Has Rose or Chris Paul or Deron Williams proved he can do as much for his team as Rondo does for his? The rules have liberated the position and enabled scorers to excel as point guards, but no one in the NBA can do so many things for his team at the high level that defines Rondo: command the pace, create for teammates, keep defenses guessing, pressure the ball defensively and rebound. A point guard should be judged by his impact on the team, and Rondo's all-around value at both ends of the floor is overwhelming and unrivaled."

  "Mannix: I ranked Rondo fourth on my MVP ballot -- ahead of Paul and Parker -- so I thought he was the best playmaker in the game this season anyway."

  I would expect that your knowledge of GMs is as extensive as your knowledge of sportswriters.

30 out of 30
really?
REALLY 

some posters should just state, I don't like rondo, I don't need to give a reason or argument I just don't like him

i love the quote someone has that says something to the effect that rondo is blamed for global warming

but i guess any rondo topic gives us all

I think Chris Paul and Deron are 1 and 2. They are more balanced and are better at setting the tempo of a game than Rondo.

I wouldn't want to trade Rondo for either though. He's a Celtic. He's among the toughest and he's definitely the scrappiest of the elite PGs. I have yet to see anyone outplay him in a playoff series and he has a lot of unique attributes.

Deron above Rondo?

not in my book, the nets may have the most overpaid backcourt in history.

What exactly do you want out of your PG?  It's about your cup of tea.

Very nice I like it. If all people chooses a rondo type point guard then he will be the best point guard.
