Mirage-on Rondo

Okay, let me get this out before I go in. Rajon Rondo is a decent pg with great number this post season. I think he is definitely one of the top 5 point guards in the league.

Alright, with that being said, please...please stop talking about how he is the best PG in the L. Y'all are killing me with that mess. The casual fan lives in the moment, and that's fine with me, that's why they are the casual fan. But I believe that Rondo's production is a product of the great system he is in with 3 superstar players on his team (although it kills me inside to call Pierce a superstar). With all of the attention on those 3, Rondo has the freedom to shoot open shots and pick his spots the entire game.

I think that if you place Rondo on another team that his numbers would be cut in half. Lets say, Minnesota. Sure they have Kevin Love....and Corey Brewer, who are decent. But I think that his assists definitely go down and his point production. Rebounding is something you cant teach because its effort, so I think that he still might have some big rebounding games. But as far as scoring and getting assists...yea, those are going to fall like Grant Hill when Kobe shook him up in Game 2. LOL. Sorry Grant, but that was funny.

All in all, Rondo is a good player, but let's don't get ridiculous and go overboard with comparisons and rankings.

Holla.
