Rondo is the most underrated player in basketball. Forget the Big 3, Boston is Rondo's team. Rondo was the reason this Celtics team got through Dwayne Wade in the first round and then slaughtered Cleveland in the 2nd round. When guys like Pierce, Allen, and Garnett struggled to cap off Orlando after they went 3-0 and lost 2 consecutive games, Rondo carried the team through to the Finals. And not once did Rondo have a bad game. The Celtics playoff run went something like this: Every time that Rondo had a good game, they lost. Every time he had a great game, they won. Rondo's ability to get his teammates involved on every play, his tenacious defense, his cutthroat driving ability, and his effort to grab boards has made him a match-up nightmate and by extension, has allowed himself to be called a top 10 player in the NBA. And before you say that Miami is a lock to win the East, who do they have on their team to guard this guy?
