I really dont think anyone should be hating on rondo. He is in the league and making a major impact for his championship contending team. He is a great PG who gives his all everygame and trust me, he is probably the hardest to defend, I know. His pass-fake is clever as hell. We all know he isnt really gonna pass but everyone defends against the pass anyways. As a player in the league myself I look up to him and learn off of watching some of his games. Best point guard ive matched up with so far in my career. See you friday Rondo.

GO BULLS!!!!

i live in boston so i get all the games, and he misses the lay-up after he does this move about 50% of the time…real talk

I think its a siiick move when he gets people to bit (which is most of the time), but its true, he doesn’t usually pass behind the back anyways, so the players should expect it now. I think becasue he does it so quick and because the defender is playing him while also getting ready to help off him, it becomes harder to not bit on than it may seem. It may have been a move the Magic used, and that TP uses once in a while, but I would still call this Rondo’s move now because when you close your eyes and think of what Rondo does, this is one of the first things that should pop into anyones head…

..like others have said, he does it too much. It’s his ONLY move and it’s always a fake, he NEVER has actually passed it that I remember. I don’t know why people continue to fall for it. I can see it coming from a mile away, I’m not sure why the players can’t.

Human nature though, sure we all have done that with a move or two growing up…but it gets predictable after a while. I did it after watching felipe lopez make some cat fall when he played for st johns with a little in and out shimmy followed by a cross-over…I must have beat that move into the ground 3 times over; until I got picked clean!

Garbage move by a garbage, classless player, who plays for a lowlife city and organization. Did everyone see how Garnett behaved like a spoiled child in the playoffs? Classless. And Rondo should be expelled from the league for being the dirtiest player around (Ask Brad Miller or Kirk Hinrich). At any rate, by Magic HANDLED the Celtics nicely in game 7. And now it’s about to be complete ORLANDO DOMINATION for the NEXT 5 Years with VC.

GOOOOO MAGGICCCCC!!!

Wow I didn’t know there was so many Rondo haters in here. @ Ballin 305 if you stood pat for the charge everytime he’d pass it to KG and you’d be put on a poster!

He does it too much, but when he does it at the right time, it’s effective. I guess you need a move like this if you can’t shoot.
