Retiring Rondo's number is absurd.

Besides, from the way people are carrying on on this board, Brown's number will be retired by Christmas.
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

I think he deserves it more than Ray and maybe as much as a couple guys up there but we gotta chill on retiring everyone's.

How come, we have Numbers "0"...and "00" in the league...but Not numbers like
"01"..."02"..."03"...etc---?

would open up some Jerseys for the C's.

Parish "00" is retired---Why is "0" worn by Bradley-?

"3" is retired for DJ...so why can't someone wear "03"---?
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

I'll never understand the hate for Rondo.  Even Danny has said that he was the best player in series against Derrick Rose and Lebron (twice).  The guy is such an incredible and unique player, and it was truly an honor to watch him play, imo, and I still miss him.  Maybe he doesn't have the scoring numbers that many of our retired numbers and/or hall of famers do, but with Rondo it's how he plays the game that is the most important, and on talent, alone, he's a first ballot hall of famer, in my eyes, so sue me, lol ;D.

And there's no way in hell that Ray Allen's number should be retired, imo.  Not after he jumped ship and saved Lebron's legacy with that corner 3 in game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals.  Barf.

I really liked Rondo when he was here (and still have a soft spot for him), but there's no way that his number should be retired.  Same with Ray and KG (KG should get retired in Minni, but he didn't play here long enough)
I'm bitter.
