Rondo is no longer an Enigma

We’ve been gone for a minute, but now we’re back with a vengeance.  I wrote this in response to Rajon Rondo, not the incident that will be covered through out the media.  I wanted to write why we’re talking about him anyway.

Everyone we can no longer give Rondo a pass for being an enigma!! What the hell does enigma really mean?? I know it is supposed to signify misunderstood, quirky, different, I get all that, but this adjective no longer applies to Rajon Rondo at all.

You can’t go through four (not 1… not 2… See what I did here, LeBron style) damn coaches, and have front office personnel ready to trade you for a bag of “half eaten corn dogs” and still be enigmatic. That shit doesn’t pass the smell test.

I have stated from the beginning he was a product of being surrounded by three potential Hall of Fame players. If it wasn’t for Shytrick, he’d have been the worst starter on that team by a substantial margin. His game has not improved one iota since 08, he still dribbles 68,000 times, he still can’t shoot a jump shot to save someone else’s life, his free throws should be charged .50 per miss.

Garnett, Pierce, and Allen all made Rondo look great, all he had to do was pass them the ball and play defense which he was great in that system.

Even with those guys on the team, you could see the nuttiness in his game. This was the only guy I’ve seen literally have “a wide open lay-up going in the basket, take it out the basket, and pass to the ball to the ghost of Pervis Ellison

for a 3-pointer”.

That should have been your first sign that this guy might not be the point guard we need or want at all. With any player people see talent in, they disregard the obvious and believe they can rebuild him as if he’s Lee Majors (6 Million Dollar Man reference…. Look the show up), when there are some guys you just can’t rehabilitate, and in MY opinion this jabroni can’t be rehabbed. This means he is no longer an enigma, because we understand exactly who he is

That’s my word!!
