[@HuntleyBoi]

I feel you but Rondo is better than Ben and if he was 6’10 especially in his prime he would be compared to magic Johnson and 10x better than Simmons

[@KenpoKid77]

Maybe so, but Gowie's talking moreso about the fact that Ben and Rondo are both defensive-minded playmakers with all-world defense but no shooting ability. Only difference is, Rondo at least tries to shoot, and he's actually decent now because he worked on it.

Is another example Lonzo ball is Jason Kidd. Yeah they have similarities but I don't think he's the next Jason Kidd. And since those expectations were set really high for Lonzo things haven't been the way he wanted it to go. And his expectations were set really high because of his father saying he was better than Michael Jordan and Stephen Curry and all these other things. All and all I think we as fans should set expectations that are reasonable and make good comparisons but not call someone the next this or that.
