I'm loving the recognition Rondo's getting lately. Check out this Peter
May column:
http://s****ts.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ys-rondohawks042308
Lots of good bits.
> Rondo months ago put to rest any thought or suggestion that he might
> not be up to the task to be the starting point guard on a potential
> NBA champion****p team. He has made what seems to be a seamless
> transition from questionable shooter/occasional firebrand to calm,
> cool, assassin who, as he showed Atlanta in Game 1, is an utter pest
> on defense and, on offense, is to be left alone at one's own peril.
And:
> And it goes without saying that adding an offensive dimension to
> Rondo's game makes the Celtics that much more unguardable, not to
> mention practically unbeatable. Opposing coaches are still trying
> to figure out ways to not have Rondo beat you with his defense, his
> rebounding (he actually led Kentucky in rebounding in his second
> season there), his athleticism (he was a high school quarterback), his
> quickness and his knack for appearing in the right place at the right
> time. Now, they have to figure out ways to have him not beat you at
> the other end, where fellows like Allen, Paul Pierce and Garnett are
> roaming.
