Scores; At his peak, gary payton averaged 20+ points per game. Rondo averaged only 10+ at the peak, which shows the gap between the two. At the peak, Payton was the No.1 player, with strong independent offensive ability, shooting percentage above 45%, and certain fixed-point three-point ability. Peyton also had a unique skill, one-handed defense, which was the routine tactics of the supersonic at that time. And Rondo's score, not to mention here, the shooting ability is simply terrible.
In terms of assists; Peyton averaged nearly 9 assists per game at his peak. Compared with the general point guard, this is a pretty good data. Peyton is experienced in changing attacks and positional warfare. However, compared with Rondo, who averaged 1 1+ assists per game, Payton was slightly insufficient. Rondo's talent seems to be all about combing attacks and assists. He plays very well in any situation. I believe everyone knows that Rondo played an important role in the year when the Big Three won the championship.
Defensive aspect; Rondo is probably the worst place here than Payton. Payton's defense really has a history. The only point guard in history, DPOY, has been defending God for nine consecutive years and once defended God to the lowest level in playoff history. These are all Payton's achievements. Payton's height advantage and physical advantage allow him to oppress his opponents as much as possible and even swing to the front line for defense. Thanks to the fact that Hancek was not restricted by the league at that time, Payton's defense was called offensive defense. Rondo's defense can be said to be good, but it can't be compared with Payton.
One more thing, Peyton's famous rubbish words have the magical effect of easily stirring the nerves of his opponents, whether attacking or defending. In this respect, although Rondo can also talk rubbish, he is obviously not as good as this old ball bully. Therefore, integrating the above aspects, Rondo obviously lacks comparison in personal ability.
