Rondo's voice always cracks me up. "Do not film me"

Maybe everyone should stop being ****s and respect when someone is with his family and doesnt want to be filmed.

heres the thing, that is the media area. its expected that youll be recorded, filmed, etc. there

rondo was still a little bitter about the ending of the game i think

if we won the game, would rondo care about this? doubt it.

If Rondo agreed to do the presser and was with family, during what he considered family time and he doesn't want his family on film, then that should be respected.

Some famous people who like privacy consider their family off limits. They don't want their family members images being put out there. Some consider it a safety risk to their family members; I respect that.

Not everyone is a Kardashian and wants their lives and the lives of their parents, partners, husbands, wives, dates, and children in front of a camera.

Sure, the media is going to give him grief because its their job to film and take photos and ask questions but I think Rondo is justified for doing what he did.

What happened before this instance. Did the reporter ask several times for an interview? Did Rondo several times respond in the negative? Did he stipulate he was with family and didn't want them filmed? Did the camera man then film them anyway against his wishes?

If this stuff happened then I think Rondo 110% justified in his anger towards the man and what he did!!

  I'd hope he was somewhat bitter that we lost. I'd guess that a lot of people here would be somewhat unhappy with people trying to capture all of their private conversations in the hopes that you said something that might be controversial.

Whether it was the media area or not, it's not a big deal. He didn't react that harshly towards the camera man. Non-story, really.

I doubt that. I remember when Bass got hurt in that Atlanta game he turned away one camera and had some words with another cameraman who was still filming Bass on the ground in pain. Maybe he just has a problem with putting what should be private moments on film.

this is true as well. People are acting like he got physical with the camera man. He just spoke to him harshly cause the guy was being disrespectful.

1st amendment: freedom of the press

Actually, if the writer is correct, Rondo is clearly in the wrong here. If the cameraman is in an approved media area, Rondo has no beef whatsoever. When you make 10 large a year, there are no private moments and there are no reasonable expectations of same where the league has established that the media may work.

With that said, it's a non-issue. I'm more concerned that he's color-blind and style-blind wearing that piece of sofa upholstery.

I love Rondo I hope he gives every media hack $#!t for the rest of his career

[KGs Knee]

Screw the media!  Who cares what they think.
