Heroic and Rajon Rondo is unreal

[Celtic]

Rondo has OFFICIALLY turned the corner.  He is now a bonafied star.  STAR, i tell you!!!! 

TP, agreed, he may have moved into the elite PG category with CP3 and Williams. I love Tony Parker but he is primarily a scorer, doesn't have the overall game that Rondo has.

Side note, it wouldn't surprise me if Rose moves into this category sooner than later.

rondo is in a league of his own right now

As much as I love the dude, he still plays very subpar on the road.  Let's see him get half the numbers he had on this homestand in Chicago, then we can all go bananas together.

Last year he was really pitiful in Cleveland and Atlanta.  And during the regular season this year, he's also been weaker away from Boston:

Don't get me wrong fellas, I love Rajon.  But before we annoint him as "The Savior", he needs to be a little more consistent no matter where he's playing.

Great point.   His aggressiveness (or lack of) is evident on the road.   Not sure why.   

What's making Rondo an elite player is his rebounding, hustle plays, and X factor plays.  Now that his O is coming, he's really becoming the MAN.

Get Rondo a PF with soft hands, finishes well, runs the floor, and rebounds, we'll be set for years.

you mean like a Kevin Garnett?

Yes, exactly like Garnett, but Rondo's age .

Someone already asked, but no one has answered yet. Does anyone know Rondo's contract status? How much longer is he signed for?

He's here until #9 is hanging from the rafters.

I hope so!! His rookie deal runs through summer 2010, then we can match any offer. I expect the C's to try to lock him up to an extension this summer though.

Rondo was amazing. He showed up from the tip clearly in we are winning this game mode, played solid defense and put up incredible numbers on a hobbled ankle. Perk is supposed to be the beast but Rondo is quickly becoming a little beast himself. I love how he gets a man’s triple double. None of that wimpy 10-10-10 kind (I'm looking at you J-Kidd) so it doesn't if the front office decided to take away a rebound or two later
