Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins heaped some impressive praise upon the Celtics' captain during an interview with Bill Simmons of Grantland.com earlier this week.
In the wide-ranging Q-and-A, Cousins said Rondo was "absolutely" the best point guard in the league right now, placing him ahead of elite players like Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook.
Recruiting much?
I'm a huge Rondo fan and I wouldn't make that claim. Up until two years ago, he's definitely the best PG in my opinion, not right now.
It sucks because we still haven't seen how good he really is without the big 3 because of his injury. So this coming season is going to be huge for him.
