Chris Paul vs Rajon Rondo Rivalry

[The Young One]

NEW YORK – Never is there a wise time to test the tolerance of the planet’s best point guard, but Rajon Rondo has that irritating ability to push people’s patience to the brink. The sluggish state of the New Orleans Hornets had Chris Paul seething on Sunday night, his mood even edgier with a report that Rondo had privately disparaged Paul’s talents within the Boston Celtics’ locker room.



Chris Paul and the Hornets have lost three of their first four games after reaching the West semifinals two seasons ago.

So, here was Rondo surrounded with an embarrassment of point guard riches – K.G., Paul Pierceand Ray Allen, a championship banner and a fat, new $55 million contract. Rondo felt emboldened, eager to engage Paul. The procession of trash talk, sources said, pushed into the personal when Rondo was heard to tell Paul, “I’ve got a ring, and you’re never gonna win one.”

As they traded technical fouls at the Boston Garden, as emotions escalated, sources said Rondo declared that Paul wished he could be him, suggesting that his frustration dripped with envy. On the way to the locker room, Hornets coach Byron Scott heard Paul insist that Rondo “is gonna respect me as a man,” and soon Paul started on his way down the corridor to tell the Celtics point guard himself.

Several coaches prevented Paul from getting close to Rondo outside the Celtics’ locker room, but the overriding theme of Paul’s rage was easily understood: Before you talk trash again, feel free to walk a mile in my Brand Jordan’s.


“If Rondo had to trade in K.G., Pierce, Ray and Rasheed for the guys that Chris plays with [in New Orleans], I guarantee that you wouldn’t be seeing Rondo get a $55 million contract,” one Hornets source said.

CP3 is the 2nd best player in the NBA (behind Danilo) and Rondo is the 4th or maybe 5th best player on his team... hmm

Exactly^

I hope CP3 tears it up against Rondo next time they play against each other. Rondo thinks he's the bomb, he aint <Censored>. He's a decent player, but he's not even close to CP3. Cp3 deserves to go to a real team with some good weapons.

lol
I really hope Cp3 just straight up explodes and takes it next to Boston next time. I respect KG, Allen, and Pierce (Kind of), but Rondo has always been a punk in my eyes.

[$tunna]

ha I like CP3 and Rajon but I can see how Rajon can get into all these players head so easy. Tbh I don't think CP3 will get a ring on the Hornets any time soon

 

[The Young One]

Could you imagine somebody like glen davis telling d12 he'd never get a ring lol.

Lol Heck Naw! Glen Davis could get MURDERED by Dwight. Rajon at least can backup majority of what he says with good defense

But Rajon is at least Close to CP3 Glen is FAR from Dwight lol

 

[The Young One]

Lol only pg I know of thats close to cp3 is deron.

 

[cruzg24]

Rondo is a little <Censored> and he will NEVER be better than Chris. Cp3 never demands ownership to bring in new and better players like other guys do, he just goes about his business. The Hornets just dont have the amount of money to contend with other NBA organizations. They are always shedding payroll and at the end of the day, it will be the lack of urgency that will make Paul leave.

Lol only pg I know of thats close to cp3 is deron.

I'm sayin if you listed the top PGs in the league and then listed the top PFs I bet Rajon is closer to CP then Glen is the Dwight. Plus Rajon can actually play lockdown defense

 

[elcheato]

Rondo is gloating about a championship he was GIVEN by the big 3.. He is better now but he wasn't that good in 2008.
