Clearly he has done everything his teem has needed to be outstanding, so he has to be considered. Same with Cleveland's Mo Williams, I guess. You have to consider Harris on the Nets as well.. I haven't seen Rondo or the competition play quite enough to chose a starter..
Other than that, who's his competition in the East? I guess you have to consider Iverson (?)....[ Jameer Nelson (??)]
The more established all-star caliber point guards seem to be from the West: Paul, Deron Williams, Parker, Billups, Nash (down year?), Baron Davis (ditto).
He looked like a Globetrotter against the Bulls the other night. A lot of circus passes--some of them even silly. He's got the locals cooing about Cousy reincarnated. I guess neither had a great 20-footer.

The latest tattooed Prima Donna in sports? The Attitude of the Ages? The NBA's answer to Dennis Rodman?
The NBA sucks.
My point is that he is neither of the three you mentioned. And if you watched the NBA, you'd know that. And if you don't watch the NBA, as apparently you don't, why bother posting?
Assume his attempts have risen quite a bit over time. Do you have those numbers?
Season FGA per 36 min FTA per 36 min
2006-7 8.8 3.6
2007-8 11.1 2.7
2008-9 9.3 4.2

2 Reasons:
1) Because Goodie is an expert on many things he knows nothing about. The NBA is but one of them.
2) By posting something absurdly opinionated on a thread he knows nothing about and thereby virtually inviting criticism, he might be able to turn the thread into a thread about himself and about how unfairly he's picked on here.

I do watch the NBA [Lakers fan here and it seriously looks like they are on a mission this year] and drooling over this Rondo guy is just plain dumb.

Well, I think he has a nice balance of driving in for his own shot and dishing it out. The increase in FT attempts is indicative of his going to the hoop more; considering none of the Big 3 like to hang out in the paint much, it's a good choice.
And [thelil] proves, yet again, he has absolutely NOidea who I am or what I stand for relative to sports.
Why he continues to post such arrogantly insipid trash is beyond me.
Maybe he was abused as a child....I won't speculate.
Wow.
You didn't know who Rondo is, thereby proving you didn't know enough about the NBA to trash him or to blanketly trash the NBA- which was the entire (non) point of your post.
I know as much as I needed to to post what was an entirely true comment about you. I don't care what you stand for in sports. Nobody does.
I also know you commented on me being abused as a child. Classy. (The smiley was inspired though)
Go fuck yourself. Never mind. You're already fucked. Just go away.
