Never lacking confidence in his abilities, Boston Celtics All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo believes he's the NBA's top point guard today.
"In some areas some guys might be better than me, but overall, if you lay it all out, I think I am the best." Rondo said to Boston Common Magazine.
"My definition of what a good point guard is might be different from what some others might think. I'll give you an example: If Doc Rivers gets thrown out, I can run the team for the rest of the game. I know what plays to call, what sets to call, or when to call timeouts. It's more than keeping track of the score. There is so much more going on that you take for granted on any given night, and there are only so many guys who can run a team when you don't have a coach. In that category I think I am the best at what I do."
After all, Rondo led the league in assists last season and almost averaged three more assists than any other point guard in the postseason. In Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat, Rondo even dropped 44 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds.
Rondo's confidence in being the best in the league doesn't end there, Rondo is determined to become one of the best point guards in Celtic history.
"The Celtics and their fans don't just want X number of wins and playoffs. We all want championships ... and the banners prove that. For me it's a good thing. There is a lot more pressure in Boston to win than there is almost anywhere else. I love it. I feed off of it."
