Rondo added to U.S. National Team

Great recognition for Rajon - just don't get hurt. I have no clue what Tyson Chandler is doing on that roster.

Good for him...

he deserves the recognition just as you say.

and it wouldn’t hurt to have Rajon there to find guys he has good chemistry with plus put in a good word or 2 about the Celtics organization. Danny’s going to be doing a little shopping in 2 years, maybe Rondo will have a list for him.

tyson chandler is there to be irrelevant

that's Mr. Irrelevant to you, sir.

When Perk was asked what he thought of Howard winning the gold medal this summer, he responded: "What’s his impression of me after I won a ring?"

it'll raise his level of play

playing with KD & derick rose it’ll make him better like playing with kobe made basically every superstar ppl obsess over today ,wade,bosh,lebron,dwight

WHAAAAAAAAAAA?

I’m pretty sure winning an NBA title made people obsess over DWade, not playing along side Kobe.

Your right good point plus its not like he’s gonna start over rose anyway or play 44 minutes like he would with us without a break

Congrats RR9 rep them Celtics to the fullest out their

I'd prefer if he didn't do it

This guy plays major minutes on a team that goes deep in the playoffs. And he’s a little guy who takes hard hits every night. Now he’s going to spend his downtime practicing for and playing in meaningless international competition. That’s a recipe for a short career.

BAD IDEA

I’m sure he’ll come up with a super plan to leave the Celtics in 2016 with a bunch of other stars -

then, do his “DECISION” in Holographic 3D ESPN TV, right in everyone’s living rooms

don’t go RONDO!

Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk

Hey if we dont put the players around him after the big 3 why shouldn’t do that.. the heat wont be the last team to pull something like that off..the knicks will do the same thing next year with melo paul and amare who the have already

Nothing like C's fan worrying about 2016.

It’s all over in Dec of 2012 anyway, cheer up. lol

Meaningless stupidity

Unless he gets hurt.

I have no idea why management doesn’t include no-plays in meaningless exhibitions like this.

by Finkelskyhook on Jul 15, 2010 4:15 PM EDT reply actions

seriously though...

…why don’t contracts state a player can only play competitive basketball for the NBA?

It’s a conflict of interests

And it risks severe and/or career ending injury at at the very worst.

And at the very least has been blamed for lackluster player during the season / playoffs when they become tired from being over worked -

It’s bad, real bad.

I'm not sure playing for a national team greatly increases Rondo's chances of getting hurt.

A guy like Rondo is probably in the gym most all of the summer in any case. His knees don’t know when he’s playing in international competition and when’s he’s just working out with another guy doing some one-on-one.

As we all recall, Tony Allen’s knee didn’t know the whistle had blown and he was just messing around.
