Re: Shaquille O'Neal: "Chris Paul Is Not Better Than Rajon Rondo"
:oldlol: we'll see Shaq... at least he'll get people talking. Trolling with no obvious team bias/agenda... this will be fun.
Re: Shaquille O'Neal: "Chris Paul Is Not Better Than Rajon Rondo"
CP3 is the better player but in defense of Shaq he id use the term definition of a PG. We've had threads on this board with multiple definitions of PG so from that perspective his opinion might not be as crazy as it seems but I would like to see what he means by "true PG".

He was saying that Rondo gets his teammates involved better than Paul, he's a better passer than Paul, runs an offense better than Paul, defends better than Paul, etc. Shaq has a legitimate point.
Chris Paul is a better scorer, although that can change if Rondo improves his shots.
Re: Shaquille O'Neal: "Chris Paul Is Not Better Than Rajon Rondo"
Bill Russell was a good analyst... he didn't talk about the shot he talked about what was happening weak side to set up the play, or why the combat in the paint was deciding the game regardless of what the score was at that point
Re: Shaquille O'Neal: "Chris Paul Is Not Better Than Rajon Rondo"
lot of hate for Rondo I see.
Rondo is monstrous good and he don't look like Vlade Divac flops

I think there is also a beef between both players:

Rondo said something along the lines of: "You will never win a championship".
But Rondo needs to factor in that he has a way better team around him and he was never the best player on his team. Where does he rank from 08-11 as a player on Boston?
Paul clearly is the best on his team.
Re: Shaquille O'Neal: "Chris Paul Is Not Better Than Rajon Rondo"
Would give up Rondo in a heartbeat for CP3
Re: Shaquille O'Neal: "Chris Paul Is Not Better Than Rajon Rondo"
CP3 is better than Rondo at every facet of the game. Not only is he a far superior scorer/shooter, but he had more steals, assists, and rebounds last season, while also posting less turnovers.
The only difference? CP3 plays at a slower pace, with far inferior teammates. So please, let's not act like Rondo is in the same league as CP3. A Rondo ran Hornets team would be drowning at the bottom of the Western Conference.

Rondo is never going to be a great or even very good scorer. That said, he shoots a higher % from the field than Chris Paul. And while Paul's numbers have trended down the last three seasons, Rondo's have improved.
Each brings different things to the floor. For a low post big man like Shaq, I'm not surprised he'd prefer the pass first, happy if he never shoots, elite defender PG.
The game is more than who scores the prettiest.

You said it. The Western Conference is the tougher conference and has been for a quite some time.
Is Rondo really going to carry that Hornets team to the playoffs? Espically with David West missing the time he did?

Re: Shaquille O'Neal: "Chris Paul Is Not Better Than Rajon Rondo"
it [I]is[/I] a fact Rondo has one or two guys worth dishin to.... somebody said on here what if they were traded straight up would the Hornets collapse, I say no, they wouldn't.
Rondo's got a serious game. Wondering if his arm is worse than we know about

CP3 and Rondo are both pass first PGs who have great passing ability and court vision. Both can finish around the basket and are great at shooting the gap to get steals. However CP3 is obviously a better shooter.:confusedshrug:

nail on the head....It sickens me watching him play, his flopping is disgusting and i wish officials would ignore it.

Not even a question who's the better shooter. Just look at CP3's consistency, espically in the mid-range category.
