@@begcoins Boogie was a 25/12 guy on that team, but the coach had him playing outside too much, causing too many turnovers. Why would you have Cousins at the top of the key initiating offense when you have Rajon Rondo as your PG?!?? Made no sense, and it didn't work. Cousins was leading the league in turnovers when he tore his achilles. N.O. brought in Mirotic and went up tempo on offense and beat Portland in the playoffs. Rondo led the league in APG again.

Besides Rajon being super real and a G, I like how he shelters his son from social media and keeps him focused on the goal. It truly is a distraction, it makes you lazy and takes away alot drive outta you. This man right here knew his role as a player, he honed his skills and was ELITE as a PG who made super smart calls and plays that made Rajon feared on the court. He didn't need to score even tho he could. That's why I respect people with their ego in check. He knew his role and played it every time and that's why all his teammates could count on him. Rajons battles with a prime D-Rose were also very entertaining. If I remember correctly Rajon said that D-Rose was his toughest match-up and D-Rose said the same thing about Rajon. Nowadays alot of player can do much more than back in the days, but I believe we truly need more specialists who are dominant in one particular area that gives teams a certain advantage. So to hear "de*th of a true PG" makes you almost think like "DAMN. This is true!". D-Rose kinda changed the perspective of a PG too, I watched him when he was on his best season thinking "This is what PGs do now?", then you have Curry who is kinda like a mix between PG and SG yet he's listed as a PG (he basically revolutionized that position is what I'm trying to say). It's def a interesting course of evolution to see. PS. Good to see Rajon joining the team.

There hero's and tutors had thought them to show that because now if people don't, they are told they don't have a motor and don't care.
