    Given Rondo's history with pretty much everyone lol....Kobe, Isiah Thomas, Paul, Ray Allen etc.

    it is justified to not give him the benefit of the doubt. He is a punk and he has a loooooooong history in the NBA with trolling players, getting ejections etc.

    With all that said...what he says about the spitting is indeed plausible. It didn't look like he spat on him in order to provoke him or else he would have looked more ready to fight because that would have been his goal, right? So what he says makes sense.

    And what he says about little Napoleon is definitely true. Although Paul was asked by reporters about the incident yesterday and he said literally nothing. All answers were "I don't know, I'm done with it, looking forward to help my team" which is typically Paul playing Mr. Nice Guy.

    There is a difference. He is a professional basketball troll. However, off the court, I don't recall anyone referring to him as problematic.

    Of course he did. To defend the young players that were getting the blame from Wade and someone else... Look it up, it's downright inspiring.

    He speaks up. I'll take it over a snake like CP2 or ...

    LOL that looks like big brother scolding his little bro. Rondo wanted no part of that, he didn't even bother to argue back while Allen is trying to protect him.

    I don't know but the S.O.B. was waay too close to winning an NBA title last year. That team and Morrey have a deal with the devil. They've weakened though from what everyone seems to think. What do You think OX?

    it's very telling that despite rondo being labeled a "locker room cancer," both glen davis and ryan hollins came out publicly and supported him while also agreeing with rondo that cp3 is not the great teammate everyone thinks he is

    with the rep that cp3 has around the league you'd assume all these guys would rush to his defense but nope. they rushed to defend the "cancer"

    It's nice to have the media talking about how terrible CP3 is but that would come out eventually. They are completely ignoring what started the whole thing, Ingram frustrated over Harden's continual ref treatment.

    i think that's a well known fact at this point

    harden is probably the least entertaining superstar in NBA history. i don't blame BI one bit for losing it over harden's consistent crying even when he shoots 324325235 free throws a game

    Harden's entire career is revolved around what he can exploit rather than actually playing the game. He's the weakest scorer I've ever seen. He makes Allen Iverson look like a heavyweight boxer.

    Back to Rondo, wish he would've been back for the game tonight to punk Murray too.

    Harden has been flopping for a damn near decade and finally for the first time somebody got tired of his BS. Harden isn't about that life, and he's baiting that sh*t anyway with his flailing and flopping BS and his "WHO, me?" act. Sad that you fall for it too.

    This is one of the reason why he will never win a ring. This type of scoring and baiting won't get you far in the playoff.

    I'm just talking about him being a strong athlete vs you calling him weak. Irregardless of the other ****. He's a big dude and strong. Same with LeBron and yeah he flops too but is a stud.

    The
    Here is the one time, Harden sure didn't flop but as I recall he did bounce a little. So thankful to have seen it and the Artest explanation that it was his King Kong celebration on his dunk and he had not seen Harden was priceless.
