Bill Simmons Jazz.....love?

Simmons is an idiot, however, no need to diss Rondo. He obviously isn't as good as Deron, who may be the best PG in the league, but there is little doubt that Rondo is already one of the best PGs in the NBA (third in assists and first or second in steals).
 
Rondo is definitely in the Top 4. But when "Top 4 PGs in the League" is uttered, it should not be used for either one of the Top 2 Pgs in the League. Logically, it does not make sense, but elsewise, it does.
 
Rondo is a rich man's Nate McMillan until he develops a shot. End of story.

He shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as Williams. It's like saying Ben Wallace is in David Robinson's league based on their defensive games being at similar level.
 
The one thing I found funny about the article is how he thinks Boozer is a hard worker. In order to be a hard worker in this league you have to play both sides of the ball which he most definitely does not. By the way he has them as the 6th team to watch and Jazz as the 13th behind Milwaukee and Dallas.

Simmons doesn't rank Rondo higher than DWill (as of Feb '10)
His top four:
1.CP3
2.Rose - Mostly because of his rookie deal compared to DWill's max deal...
3.DWill
4.Rondo

Closer to the playoffs he admitted that Dwill is the top PG in the league after they beat Denver. After the C's took down the Cavs he made an argument for Rondo.. which I can't deny (are we talking about winning games that matter. . Rondo has all the "top PGs" beat in that category)
 
Wait, what the hell are (some of) you people talking about? The top 4 isn't D-Will, Paul, Rondo and Rose. It's D-Will, Paul, Rondo and NASH. Yes, still. Once Rose learns how to pass, hit outside shots and play defense, he'll be able to jump into the discussion. Until then, no dice. (And yes, I know Nash can't play D, either, but he's still the best passer in the league, and arguably the best pure shooter, too.)

Yes, he made an argument for Rondo, but didn't flat-out say he was definitely the best PG in the league. And even if he DID hand Rondo the conch during that series, he EMPHATICALLY took it away after the Finals.

And please, don't bring the "winning games" argument into it. Please. He was surrounded by three Hall of Famers when he won a title, and he was godawful in the Finals last year.

I love how some of you get so bent out of shape over a writer's opinion.

It's called Jazz FANZ. You love how people are adamant about certain things related to their passion on a site devoted to said passion? Nice observation. Congrats.

Bill Simmons can slob on my knob. Can't stand the ******. This little blurb doesn't change anything. Makes me loathe the ******* even more, in fact.

Same here. Then again, I don't know a Colts fan who likes the guy.

Did you even read the article? That's not his ranking of the best point guards in the league - he's talking about value there. Saying he'd rather have Rose at 1/3 the price of Williams - and even THEN, he had to think it over.
