Overall is debatable but Rondo clearly has him beaten in choice of socks.

Rondo has now developed a jumper. Still struggling with the FTs though.

Re: Rajon Rondo vs. Chris Paul
Rondo is basically a one man team right now. He got soooo many open shots for the Celtics against the Bulls and Mavericks and nothing was going down.
Pierce and KG are stinking it up bigtime. It's cringe-worthy. When Rondo is on the break there is nobody with him rofl

Re: Rajon Rondo vs. Chris Paul
i'll take rondo.. cp3 is no where near as good as he use to be and now that rondo has developed some form of a jumpshot.. i think the contest is alot closer than people think.
income the cp3 overraters...

Re: Rajon Rondo vs. Chris Paul
Rondo passed CP a long time ago. The CP overraters of course will come in and drown out rational debate like they always do. Also Rondo has never demanded a trade

Re: Rajon Rondo vs. Chris Paul
Rondo isn't even a top 10 PG. You could even make a case for Rubio being better

You are an idiot. 16 ppg, and 10 apg, and 2 spg is a good stats-line for a top 10 PG in the NBA. He's the Celtics best player this season.

speak of the devil they have arrived.
look at Rondo's numbers and what he's done the last couple years with a team of retirement home players
look at CP's numbers and what he's doing now or not doing with a team of allstars, and what he did last year with a balanced supporting cast

Re: Rajon Rondo vs. Chris Paul
I'll take Chris Paul, more dependable down the stretch. Chris has a dependable jumpshot as well as the ability make free throws at the end of games.

He iced the christmas day game making 3 jumpshots in a row. Also in the clippers first game against the blazers he hit a 3 pointer and made 2 big layups. He also blocked crawfords 3 point attempt.

Re: Rajon Rondo vs. Chris Paul
rondo clearly, second best point guard in the NBA, hes carrying the old ass celts by himself this year. Everyone on the team is honestly just waiting for rondo to set them up, they cant do shit without him
-
Re: Rajon Rondo vs. Chris Paul
Did CP3 have these haters before he joined the Clippers? :oldlol: . Rondo isn't worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as CP3 and never has been. Even CP3 at 75 percent>Rondo normally. Funny thing is Rondo is having a big year because everybody around him is struggling and he's having to carry more.
CP3 is playing with another franchise player/superstar who's averaging what 23 or 24 ppg? Then he's playing with other 16 ppg scorers in Butler and Billups. 16, 9 and 3 while getting used to new teammates and when you're not conditioned early in season is still elite for a PG.
Chris Paul may have went 1-5 down the stretch vs Miami... but his clutch plays are what got the Clippers control of the game and cut the leads down. Whether it was getting steals, making the right passes or hitting jumper.

Carrying them to 4-5. Sounds amazing. Guess who the Celtics have played so far?
Knicks
Heat
Hornets
Pistons
Wizards
Wizards (twice in a row)
Nets
Pacers
Mavs
So they have played 1 great team and two solid ones in Knicks and Mavs. Not only a weak schedule but guess who their wins came against? Not against the Knicks, Mavs or Heat but against the Wizards twice, Pistons and Nets. Color me unimpressed.

To be fair, he averaged similar numbers with the Hornets last season. I wish he played as aggressive as he did against Miami more consistently.. I was a big fan of his game in 08 and 09 and only see it in spurts now. Would rather have him running my team than Rondo though.

Re: Rajon Rondo vs. Chris Paul
Rondo's a better passer, slasher, penetrator, defender, rebounder, and has better vision.. better pure point. But CP3 is clearly a better overall basketball player mainly because he does everything rondo does at a slightly lower level except he does it with precision shooting and an alpha mentality.

rondo is way more of a leader than paul, when the hornets were about to be eliminated in hte playoffs instead of helping the team this guy deferred to jannero pargo... a guy who isnt even in the league anymore. If i didnt watch bball, i wouldve thought pargo was the man of that team

Yea... true. Just saying it's more impressive if you can maintain that WHILE playing with another superstar+ other talent. I think he's not peaked this season honestly. When the Clippers do best is when he's aggressive on offense. Team knows it.. coach knows it and he knows it. His first postgame quote after Clips beat the Heat was about being more aggressive because he was too passive in Portland game.
The first step to fixing a problem is identifying it and everybody knows. I expect to see a lot more vintage CP3 27 points, 11 assists, 5-6 rebounds, 3 steals with great D and efficiency.

Re: Rajon Rondo vs. Chris Paul
Right now, I'd take Rondo. Dudes been lighting it UP. 16 PPG, 10 APG, 5 RPG and 2 steals. He's been carrying us old Celtics. Completely taking over. While Chris Paul, all the way over at the west coast is averaging 16 points, 9 assists and 3 rebounds. Paul's been doing great as you can see but altogether, I'd rather have Rondo on my team.

Re: Rajon Rondo vs. Chris Paul
Rondo getting a lot of disrespect here.. was the best player in 2010 in a series with prime Lebron. Has put up playoff runs of 17/10/10, 16/9/6 while averaging 2-3 steals per game and being his team's most pesky defender. He's not the scorer Paul is but he does just about everything else better and has far more experience playing competitive playoff ball.

I disagree with your analysis. CP3 is a career 4.5 rpg PG at 5'11". Rondo is a career 5 rpg with a freak wingspan/hands and a taller frame at 6'1". Then you say a better defender. Celtics fans in recent years have come to known Rondo as an overrated defender. Chris Paul is a averaging more steals and plays man defense similar if not better this year.
Then you try to say better court vision/passing? Many people put CP3 up there with greats like Magic and Stockton in that regard. Why don't they say the same about Rondo? With Rondo you see a guy who has been called out MULTIPLE times for intentionally stat padding assists. Stopping on a break to wait for teammates to catch up instead of scoring a layup. His assists are similar to Love's rebounds. He focuses on purely making assists rather than doing the right thing.
Not only that but Rondo has played with a loaded team his entire career. I honestly feel if you threw him onto a team like the Bobcats he would be lucky to put up 10 and 5. Chris Paul has proven he can not only play with a superstar.. but carry scrubs to good records/playoffs.

Re: Rajon Rondo vs. Chris Paul
wheres the smite button when i needed it.
Chris Paul is by far the better player.
better passer, better scorer, can control the tempo of the game better, better at everything besides defense.
Rondo's rebounding numbers doesnt mean shit to me since his team is like dead last in rebounding.

The thing about Rondo is that he's not that good in the first face.
Rondo is an All Star... thats as far as i can go. He's not a superstar, a play to build around from the ground up, or even a reliable go-to guy since his jump shot is still questionable.
