WHY WE HATE HIM
Rondo's basketball IQ was elite, but so was his ability to alienate everyone. From spitting on opponents to feuding with coaches, Rondo's genius came with a toxic attitude.
VILLAIN RESUME
4x All-Star, 2x NBA Champion whose brilliance was matched by his difficulty. Spitting on Chris Paul (3-game suspension) was rock bottom. Feuds with coaches Rick Carlisle, Dwayne Casey. One of the best playoff performers who couldn't stay out of his own way. 9.8 PPG, 7.9 APG, basketball genius with attitude problems.
GREATEST VILLAIN MOMENT
"Spitting on Chris Paul during a heated 2018 Lakers-Rockets altercation earned him a 3-game suspension and confirmed his reputation as someone who would cross any line."
THE DEFENSE
Playoff Rondo was real - his intensity and basketball IQ elevated teams when it mattered. 2 championships prove his value. His competitiveness was sometimes misunderstood as attitude. Celtics fans still love him.
