At their prime, superstars reach the peak of their abilities and soar over the game. The greatest players, in particular, have had a bounty that either lasted over time or was impressive enough for a brief period. Rajon Rondo had one that he considers incomparable, a very nice compliment.
When a player enters their bounty, it is immediately noticeable. He goes to another dimension and practices his sport with unparalleled mastery. This is the culmination of any superstar at any point in their career.
Some bonuses, although they were shorter than others, have left such an indelible mark on the spirits that they leave an indelible mark. Rajon Rondo is one of the privileged people who have known Derrick Rose and faced him in his early days. Even today, when Matt Barnes asks him if he is comparable to any player in the last episode of the “All The Smoke” podcast, he is adamant:
Matt Barnes : “Can you compare D-Rose’s bounty to anyone you’ve faced before?” “
Rondo region : “No man, nobody. The D-Rose of the 7-game playoffs when he was there [à Chicago] ? Dude, he was giving you these problems… You were on the back ground the whole game!
And he could get in and jump over everyone. He was too explosive. Clearly he was a guy going on a counterattack [comme personne] every evening. “
When it comes to D-Rose, the debate still exists. Usually, a player’s bounty occurs shortly before they are in their thirties. In his case, having been voted the youngest MVP in history at just 22, some believe he was already in his prime at that age before the injuries ended early.
In any case, considering that the 2011 Derrick Rose was indeed at its peak, Rajon Rondo considers him incomparable to anyone, all-time. And indeed, we have rarely seen a player as explosive as him in history …
