Rajon Rondo is dominating because he has a high basketball IQ to match his intensity, hustle and speed. Last year in the Finals, Paul Pierce got alot of credit for the Celtics winning the title. But watch those games and you will see Rondo doing the same thing he is doing this year. Playing great D and making clutch plays.

Phillip is living proof that persons hate someon who makes themselvees better. if you dont have azillion dollar contract you are not supposed to do well in what ever you do.
A few years back the miami heat made it to the playoffs on Shaq’s back and come playoff time he faded, and a PG came to the forefront his name Dwade. Every year RR’s stats has improved, this playoff he has had to work more play more minutes with KG out of the line up, guess what it has paid off.
Phillip please state what team and what sport you play. I am really tired of hearing people sit on their rears and say my grand mother, or “67-year-old, arthritic, female neighbor” could do better. Fine! but can you do better, maybe those persons trained hence the reason they could do better. Please stop saying someones hard work is insignificant. take up a basketball and go to a court and shoot 10 shots from the free throw line, then come back and tel us how you did. Then askk your “67-year-old, arthritic, female neighbor” to stand in front of you between the basket while you shoot 10 more then see the difference.
Would love to see how many you score out of those 20 shots.
Dont post the score if you dont hit more than 5 each time.

Why seperate layups from his shooting percentage? This merely shows that he has the ability to attack the basket rather than being content to sit back and bomb from long range.

I agree. Rajon Rondo is built in the same mold as Tony Parker but more of a pure point guard. He shoots a high percentage because so many of his points come from in the paint. I ask the same question about why teams want to pick up Tony Parker at the top of the key instead of forcing him to shoot the jumper. Teams think they are playing tough defense by pressuring the likes of Parker and Rondo but they aren’t doing anything but playing to those two player’s strength. Rondo is dominating simply because these teams don’t execute their scouting reports OR they have bad scouting. Either way you look at it, Rondo is playing at a high level and taking what the defense gives him. He has played well above his age and experience.
