“He’s a leader,” coach Doc Rivers said as Rondo led the Celts against the Los Angeles Clippers last night. “He’s obtained that this year, and that’s all off-the-court stuff. His on-the-court (performance) alone has made him an All-Star in my opinion, but we’ll see.”......
“He has a lot more confidence in himself,” House said. “You know, when he steps on the court he feels like that guy. When you have that confidence in yourself and you go out and prove it night in and night out, people have to take notice. That’s what he’s doing. He’s proving it. “That comes with his confidence. He’s been given the reins. For a time you’re not sure, but now it’s like, OK, go. He has that green light. He’s playing freely. He’s getting guys the ball and he’s making the plays. He does what he wants. He’s just playing basketball at an extremely high level.”......
“I think he’s taken another step,” [Ray] Allen said. “He’s definitely an aggressor out there. He’s letting people know that, ‘Hey, don’t just sit there and think I’m chopped liver. You’ve got to guard me, and you’ve got to guard me every play down the floor.’
What more can I add that hasn't been said already? Just go vote Rondo already!
