This is an argument that can last the entire work day at the Barber Shop. It also seems though in this argument, it's a "well, what are you looking for" type ordeal, for example, 2 seasons ago, I took heat from friends because I said I would rather have Deron Williams than CP3. It seems like each of the top point guards in the league, bring something different that one another, and with that being said...
I believe Rajon Rondo is the best PG in the game, and I'm going to take more heat from that answer simply because I'm a Laker fan, but credit when credit is due, I respect that man's game. CP3 would've gotten my vote, but it's hard for me to pass up on a guy who's pretty much a walking triple double, especially in big games.
Rondo has tremendous basketball IQ, great awareness, he may only average a career 1.9 steals (compared to CP3's 2.4) but Rondo is an irritant on defense, and in my opinion, a better on-ball defended than CP3. Though he lacks the offensive firepower that D. Rose and Westbrook, I feel as though, he makes just as much impact as they do, but in a different way.
I'm not sure why I personally don't give the nod to CP3, given he has better stats and what not, but growing up as a point guard myself in AAU, I feel as though the point guard is much more than stats. One of the questions I'm always faced with when comparing the two players, is if you put Rondo on the Hornets or the Clippers, would that team be better than any of the teams the Celtics had with Chris Paul. Obviously I know what that answer is haha, but for some odd reason I still have to give the nod to Rondo.
Anyway, I'm curious as to what you guys think.
