Only person I'd imagine would be Wilt .. and not even sure if he did it. He'd be my guess if it'd been done.

Wilt had a 20/20/20 game and Magic approached it.

And rondos rebounds always impress me more than other points. His big rebound games tend to include boards he actually had to go get in traffic. Not just "Im deciding to get all the open defensive rebounds" rebounds points often get.

I can respect that.

They usually just mean since whatever point they choose to cut it off. Like how Kevin love had the 20/10 streak record since like....1978 or some random year that makes him not have it if they count anything before that.

Would have been nuttier had he made his goddamn layups.

I've never seen someone put the ball off the glass and then completely miss the rim like seven or eight times COMPLETELY in a row.

[ProfessorMurder]

Double-triple-double (at least 20 of any 3 statistics): Wilt Chamberlain is the only player to have accomplished this; in a February 2, 1968 game vs. Detroit Pistons, Chamberlain tallied 22 points, 25 rebounds, and 21 assists.

Rondo was so close to a double-triple-double, 1 more bucket and 3 more rebounds. Absolutely nasty game.

Related beasting stats (20-20-10)


Bradley totaled 22 points, 22 rebounds, and a career-high 13 blocked shots in an April contest against the TrailBlazers. It was just the fifth time in NBA history that a player finished with at least 20 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 blocks in a single game, and it marked the first time ever that it was accomplished by a player who wasn't a starter in the game.[14] The only other players to record a 20-20-10 game are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Elvin Hayes, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Shaquille O'Neal

Might be have been achieved again since.

So Shawn Bradley came pretty close to 15-15-15 and arguably had an even more remarkable line. Classic Praying Mantis.

Still don't think the Celtics should even be considering trading this guy. He's good enough to build around.

Let me also say that I've always been a big fan of Rondo and I could never understand why he, of all people, is involved in all of these trade rumors.

You can find scorers in the NBA... Lots of them. You can find guys that are elite rebounders or defenders.

There is no other player in the league with Rondo's skillset. The Celtics need to just eat this season, chalk it up as a loss (unless they get hot again like they did in 2010) and begin building around Rondo next year when some of those big contracts start coming off of the books.

He is simply irreplaceable and I don't think the Celtics organization really appreciates what they have.

To be fair, I think some people may be overlooking the fact that Ainge has said all along that he's keeping Rondo unless he gets a very favourable trade package. I don't believe thats necessarily true, but he could be telling the truth.

[AMISTILLILL]

You're a moron.

[maybeshewill13]

I don't think the Celtics reasoning for wanting to trade Rondo is purely to do with his play though. They seem to be very unhappy with his attitude off the court, and his constant apparent run-ins with coaching staff.

[StroShow4]

You're a moron.

Does he or does he not fail to show up far too often?

[AMISTILLILL]

Does he or does he not fail to show up far too often?

So allow that to deride an unbelievable individual performance today? Cool irrationality.

[kNIOKAS]

You're a moron.
Well he has some kind of a point. Rondo can play lights out like this everytime, but he takes games off, he takes possessions off and so on, sometimes misuses the ball. Plus his presence in the first games after being back from the injury was rather handicapping, as Celtics stood ant watched him handle the ball. Rondo can maintain ridiculous numbers but the point still is to get the whole team involved. Yes, others are veterans and should be able to turn themselves on when asked... Just that in reality it doesn't seem to work like that.

[StroShow4]

So allow that to deride an unbelievable individual performance today? Cool irrationality.

I'm not even talking about today. I'm talking about the big picture... what kind of player he is... is he or is he not a top 5 PG... etc.

[RedBlackAttack]

Yes, I've heard a little bit of that, but it isn't exactly a national story. I'm sure that you Celtics fans can shed a little more light. If it really is an attitude thing, I would try to get to the root of it and try to work out whatever the problems are before putting him on the trading block. Then again, maybe they have exhausted all of their attempts already? I don't know enough about the situation to say.

Could it also be a situation of him being upset that he was so obviously being dangled out there during the CP3 trade talks?

Whatever the case, I'd make sure that it is an issue that can't be reconciled before I deal an asset like Rondo. They will never get equal value for him... Probably won't get close.

[jdm_dc_fan]

I'm not even talking about today. I'm talking about the big picture... what kind of player he is... is he or is he not a top 5 PG... etc.
What does it matter if they coast to the playoffs with rondo being passive? Not assist, passive as a player in general when they play teams like the bobcats, bucks, etc. THE DOOD WITH NO DOUBT SHOWS UP TO THE PLAYOFFS. Today is a plus. If he gets traded or not his value went up just because we and the nba know thta he has a switch. when he needs to flips it....

BTW lakers vs heat is getting nasty.

7 for 20 (35%) shooting from the field

Coasting to 7th or 8th place. Not exactly ideal.

Trade him!
this game makes his stock extremely high...lets get this trade done.

[plUto or bUst]

Rondo could be a top 3 point guard if he brings it with this kind of intensity every game. But he only seems to bring it in big games. Not a such bad thing, but that's what separates him from someone like Derek Rose.

He's still a top 5 point guard though.

If you put Rondo on the Bobcats he wouldn't be a Top 10 PG. Someone has to be honest. His assist totals are inflated because of who he plays with and how they like to run the offense.

Rondo leads the league in 16+ feet jumpshot assists. That's not being a prick, he leads the league in it.

Did you watch earlier this season when kg was playing trash and pierce was out? Rondo was dropping 30pt games.

[MMM]

Rondo has also been one of the best at getting assists at the rim and in the paint over the last few years despite not having the greatest finishers in those areas. If Rondo was on the bobcats he would get assists in other ways because he is an elite passer and can make all type of passes.

if he brought this kind of intensity every game he'd be by far and away the best point guard.

Rondo. He's in the league of Irving, Wall, and Nash. He's a great passer. He has great intangibles. But his stats are inflated with the way Boston plays. He's surrounded by great shooters (Ray, Pierce, Pietrus, KG, even Bass) and he's a good penetrator. He's the only guy on the team who boards on both sides. Stop overrating this kid.

[veilside23]

overrating ??? parker better than rondo?? in getting injured maybe :D .... they still wont get the pretty look without rondo facilitating it... rondo almost averaged 3ple double thats without kg and pierce against the #1 defense in the L vs chicago in the PLAYOFFS

And to think, if Rondo didn't blow some of his layups, mishandled the ball on a free shot, and didn't make a stupid pass on the fastbreak, his statline would be even more impressive. Ah well.

yeah I remember Guy Rodgers, real real quick, great hands, good passing skills, had a love for open court. Played with Chamberlain on the Warriors (which I never saw back then), and Wilt always praised his passing ability.
Which was good but that didn't make up for the rest of his game.

Jerry Sloan was the Original Bull, but Guy was sent over there to Chicago on the expansion move (which when the owners had fooled around with it enough, that generally meant you were good enough to start or be 6th man). In those days with i think 10 teams? that was big news to see a team in Chicago

Anyhow Rodgers had more than a couple of flaws to me, he was non-stop shot jacker and a terrible shot. Never shot 40% from the field any season in his career. He was at times the true definition of a ball-hog... but then at other times he would sacrifice his brains on the alter of victory... what i mean, at times he was not a real smart player, but had a big will to win.

In those days all players would be exhausted from the brutal schedule. This year's season is nothing compared to what those guys had to do. Basically they did a full season in this amount of time. But Rodgers never mailed it in that I ever knew of, like a lot of guys did

[Miserio]

Since the 2010 playoffs I think this guy has become in my favorite player of all time after Larry Legend. As long as he's playing there's always a shot.
