Rondo HOF?

[Wildcats1st]

Back playing. Had 10-9-5. If he were to play a significant role from here on out in the playoffs to a championship anyone think he could be a hall of fame candidate? 2x champ lakers and Celtics. 4x all star

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

He needs 29 assists to pass Jordan for #10 all time playoff assist leaders. I'm hoping for a deep playoff run for LA.

 

[Baller Cal]

Love the story about when he threw a water bottle and broke a big screen TV during the playoffs and Garnett had to drag him away. Love watching him play.

 

[Nubb16]

Yes. Currently top 15 in all time assist. Will probably end his career around 10-12 all time. Top 10 in playoff assists and 1x champion.

 

[mailman85_rivals376684]

He's had a helluva run.. Much better than many thought. I'd like to see it.

 

[FtWorthCat]

I say no. But I'm a Mavs fan and can never forgive him for not only quitting but purposely screwing up during a playoff game.

 

[BlueBomb]

Rondo is a borderline HOF player. And because he’s been so damn surly his entire career, he probably won’t get the benefit of the doubt from the voters. He just isn’t likable...unless you’re a Kentucky fan that is.

 

[DraftCat]

Yea he isn't automatic to get in.... if he plays a big role in getting the Lakers a chip this year I can see it.

Other than that he definitely needs to keep piling on the stats for a few more years.

 

[TheBlueCat]

He's one the best passers of all time. He'll get in.

Rondo's one of my favorite players, but I don't think he'll make it.

That's a great career but to me it isn't a Hall of Fame career. Maybe if he becomes the first player to win a ring with both the Celtics and the Lakers.

 

[gamecockcat]

IMO not even close. He's a poor shooter which will hurt him. Writers don't like him. He's been good for a pretty long time but I don't think at any time was he considered the best PG in the game and probably not even top 3 while he's played. Had a very good career but there are a lot of players in the Hall of Very Good. I think Rondo is one of those. Would be very surprised if he was ever inducted.

 

[hotelblue]

hof or any of that type discussion is to me about what you did on the court. what’s going for him is he could’ve been the most dominant pg in the league for a stretch. he also has a long list of playoff highlights. some of them all-time highlights, like for instance the play against the magic or the fakes against lebron, or his beating the heat almost by himself. lebron obviously thinks he’s great.

even people that don’t respect him still respect his game. he’s an unorthodox player who is an all-time distributor on and off the dribble. just in terms of difficulty and timing he’s one of the greatest. he is to me the best delayed break passer ever.

he may not have the numbers for hof but he was a staple in the playoffs for about 15 straight years, playing at a high level. if he had scoring seasons like let’s say a dennis johnson, or more rings, i’d think he’d get in years down the road.

Not gonna happen.

Agreed. But the HOF is already watered down, so what’s 1 more?

Just 1 more opens up more judge floyd gates

 

[Col. Angus]

He wins another title before he’s done and I think he’ll get in. Top 10 in assists is just a bout enough on its own, let alone the All-Stars and titles if he can add to his resume.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Hall of very good right now, but still time to get to the final level.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Agreed. But the HOF is already watered down, so what’s 1 more?

Don't talk about Zion like that.

 

[TheBlueCat]

If the Celtics had won that game 7 in either 09 or 10 against LA, this wouldnt even be a debate. Averaged a triple double or close to it and would've no doubt won finals MVP. Thats how close it is for some of these fringe guys.

 

[MasonCoBlue]

Not quite there yet. Impressive stats for sure. But we are talking about the Hall of "FAME." Could he get there...absolutely.
