Maybe Rondo should go play on the and1 tour 
Wake me up when he can shoot better than half his free throws.
Ah, yes. Free throw shooting (and outside shooting), the *only* way to judge point guards...
Or just ignore the fact that he cant shoot. Yes shooting free throws is a basic and necessary skill for a point guard.
Most high school points guards shoot better from the line than Rondo. Its a joke.
Many High School PG's can probably shoot ft's better then Rondo but NO High School, NCAA and for that matter, most NBA PG's cannot dominate an NBA playoff series involving future HOFers, Pierce, Garnett, Allen and LeBron James as Rondo has already done.
He might not have the skills many here believe a PG should have but he also has certain skills rarely seen in a PG on any level.
He's far from a joke.
puzzling might be a better word
Is undoubtedly a uniquely talented guy, more than capable of taking over games at the highest level of competition, but his deficiencies can also make him prone to disappearing.
I agree he is inconsistent. He also has had a knack for playing his best in the post season which is an admirable trait in any player. He seemed to finally find consistency for the first couple of months of last season. Then for whatever reason(mounting nagging injuries, Perkins trade) the wheels kind of fell off in the 2nd half.
He's dominated in big games against the highest levels of competition the NBA has to offer in many cases without really looking to score.
Is he perfect? Absolutely not. Is he one of the best players at his position in the NBA today and fully capable of hanging with anyone on any given night? Absolutely. He does that in-spite of the holes in his game.
Not every player is going to be Larry Bird, Magic Johnson or Paul Pierce in terms of all around skill set. The majority of NBA players have holes in their game as big as the holes Rondo has. Most of them aren't as much of a factor on both end of the floor as Rondo. He makes the players around him better.
I don't get all of the Rondo hate around here. He's a very good NBA player, not over paid, a great fit for this and many good teams with multiple scoring options because he defends and he is a pass first PG. He's tough. He's a winner. He's a great, great passer with excellent court vision. A capable scorer.
Is he perfect? NO. That doesn't mean he isn't very, very good.
