Many of the NBA's greats had artistry. A unique quality that changed the game forever. Dr.J flying in the air,and that set the way for Air Jordan. Bob Cousy with no look passing,and other creative ball handling moves that many do to this day. I think showcasing your art is best in real games,but sometimes all-star games can over produce some great stuff,but it feels to easy for players...

The art of appearing to perform supernatural feats using sleight of hand or other methods would sometimes describe Rondo. The illusion creeps into your mind as the ball zips right by your face. The burning on the side of your cheek is nowhere near the pain of being burned on the court. Rondo has given many magical performances,and the ability to adapt with ever...

Nothing is better than getting something unexpected. For some it could be children,or something that could be tragic which is a bad side of seeing things unexpected. Getting Rondo was like how Nine-year-old Ralph "Ralphie" Parker wants only one thing for Christmas: a Red Ryder BB Gun with a compass in the stock (Christmas story). Rondo will shot an eye out with his work in progress...

You know it couldn't be just any player that would win the trust,and respect of the big three. It took a player with the right mind,and smarts to win over the future hall of famers. Rondo wasn't working with a lot in terms of skills in year two with the Celtics. He was a raw talent,but showed loads of potential in his first season with the Celtics. When I say he wasn't work...

Every great point guard had a big man,or go to guy. Stockton had Malone, and Magic had Kareem. In today's NBA Nash had Amare ,and Kidd has Dirk. Kidd hasn't always had a big man,or go to guy in every NBA stop,but he's had some top talent. Kidd took some scrappy New Jersey teams to back-to-back finals. For Rondo his greatness could depend on the talent that's brought in once the...

A leader comes in many shapes,and sizes,and it can come from all walks of life. You could be working at a fast food restaurant,and still be a leader in some kind of form. The role could fit you,and it could serve a great role for you as others would follow you in times of trouble. A leader could be the player at the head of the first violins in an orchestra, the principal cornetist in ...

Before the ball tips an outcome is always uncertain. Gambling has the same feel to it. The blood pumps through your body faster,and faster as your mind moves at the speed of light(not literally). A consequence from gambling is losing,and to say you have to be fearless to gamble,and to lose has some truth to it. Rondo wants to win,and he wants to win...

Once soft spoken,and reserved. He sat listening to all feedback that came his way. Staying later would provide much needed practice for a young worthy point guard. Rondo wouldn't work on the normal drills,or routines that most NBA stars peform.
"He (Rondo) studies film as much as anybody on the team, he knows the [opponents'] play...
