08:06 AM ET 10.02 | If there's an award for most superlatives dropped by player in the offseason, Rajon Rondo may have wrapped it up on Monday. [Rondo] says the current roster is more talented than the Celtics team that won the championship in 2008. Rondo was a second-year point guard on that Celtics team that won the title. He says the additions that have been made this off-season to the current Celtics make them better than the team that won it all. "I believe this team is more talented than that team," Rondo said. "But the key to the 2008 team is that everyone bought into the system." Rondo said that will have to happen again with the group for the Celtics to be successful.

Yes they R more talented, of course that's because they're deeper than the 08 team.

The key words in his comment are "I believe." He can believe whatever he wants. The fact is that the key pieces were all 4 years younger, and hungry. There are other teams that have improved significantly since 2008. This team is by know means better than the team in '08-09.

I see what Rondo is doing; showing that the Celtics are JUST as talented and shouldn't be overlooked...put a spark under the team maybe.

But I think he is trying too hard, and this is where his vet teammates need to rein him in and say to calm down and focus.
