And Rondo did it and then some. You don't put up near 20/20/20 merely because you have good teammates.
And Tracy Murray scored 50 in a game.... who cares? Players have amazing games. It's about what you can average over the course of a season, not what you can do for one game.
I am not advocating for us to get Rondo. I don't like him either. But lets not forget the guy is 3rd amongst active players in triple doubles. (One behind Kobe) The guy was a "baller". He scored a lot of big buckets in Boston's championship runs. He was all over the floor.
Rondo had a near 20/20/20 game. Read that link I posted. His stats were insanely good. Bosh is a HOFer. Deal with it. Wade had the best ever individual NBA Finals series performance in 2006. So yeah, he is THAT good. Rondo is not good anymore. That's how this started. I said 5 years ago, he was possibly the best PG in the league. Now he's not. Why? Injury and attitude appear to be the main reasons.
Exactly, he played hard and hustled in the 2010 playoffs like I've never seen any PG play like. That wasn't because of his teammates. It was his own desire.
Because Rondo had MANY amazing games. Tracy Murray did not. Here are just a few: http://hoopshabit.com/2014/12/18/rajon-rondos-10-best-stat-line-games-career/
His playoff totals are 10.8/8.3/4.7 - Not bad, efg% of 48%. But I looked all over the place, and can't find any mention of 20/20/20 or anything near it.
Rondo was a top pt guard..his assist stats were insane, then same thing happened to him that happened to Deron Williams when he left the Jazz....game went to shit and he became an asshole..I'm not a fan of Rondo as a backup...I'd rather have old Luke Ridnour than Rondo
Why, exactly, and how, exactly is Bosh a HOFer? I don't see it. Also, I think I mis-read a post you had... I thought you meant a 20/20/20 season, not game. Maybe it was poor wording or poor comperhesion, but yeah.
Here you go, Nate. Rondo's AVERAGES in the 2009 playoffs: 16.9 ppg, 9.8 apg, 9.7 rpg, 2.5 spg He was a great player THEN. And KG wasn't playing.
OH. See, that's where I read it. I read it as "You don't put up near 20/20/20" and it sounded like season... I see where I got confused.
But Pierce and Allen were. They are kinda good, too, I think. Man, it really sucks to only have TWO hall of famers on the team. TOTALLY debunks the argument. Again, we'll agree to disagree. I have never been impressed with him, plain and simple.
2 time riding a coattail champion, you mean. I think he's in the hall of very good, but believe he would taint the reputation of the hall if he were to get in, IMO.
I've posted this link THREE times now. READ IT: http://hoopshabit.com/2014/12/18/rajon-rondos-10-best-stat-line-games-career/
I gave you my explanation as to how I read it. And good for rondo, he had several good games. So proud of him!
Coattail?? He's a fucking 10 time All Star. They don't win without him. Fuck, he specifically saved their season with the offensive rebound he grabbed in Game 6 vs SA in 2013 NBA Finals. He's a HOFer. Get used to it.
