An intense basketball is nasty with sweat, spit, and everything else. Paul chose that moment to be offended. It was obvious it was not intentional just by the way it went down.
Paul chose the moment he got spit on to be offended....no way!!!!

Especially since he explains why spit got on CP3
That explanation doesnt line up at all with the video evidence. Rondo wasnt even trying to open his mouth. He clearly made a very deliberate spitting motion with his chin.
Usually when you speak words you have to at least start by signaling your jaws to open your mouth...

It was clearly just a slang term and not that he literally did a running motion to meet Paul. I say it was "clearly" because the sentence before I stated Rondo walked up to Paul. Can we move on from that now?

Again, we good now and can move on from that?

Shell, i think you are missing the point. If you were under the impression that Rondo "ran up" on CP3 when you made the original post, then the rest of what you said actually has some legs.
But he didn't actually "run up" on CP3. Therefore Rondo does not exactly look or sound as much as a crazy person as you alluded when you first thought he "ran up" on Paul. Sorry if that was confusing.

Its kinda hard to defend rondo after tbe video, but like I was saying tbe night of, if rondo intentionally spit, he would’ve braced to defend the attack he would’ve provoked or something. If CP3 intentionally attacked a person over unintentional spit, then Rondo didn’t instigate anything.

Look at what he did last year when he was in LA; trying to get to the Clippers locker room. They don’t want to believe he’s capable of taunting and igniting an incident. Exasperating and spitting are two different things. He comes out and says I spit and the media sides with that.”

Rondo spit was very probable to be accidental. But Chris is a dog and is gonna use that to his advantage bc he had an out at that point.

If CP3 intentionally attacked a person over unintentional spit, then Rondo didn’t instigate anything.
Also, walking up and getting into Paul's face is kind of the definition of instigating.

He basically said that Paul is an a-hole and the media doesn't portray him that way, and he isn't perceived that way. Yeah, it was a summary of what he was saying about Paul. The point was that the incident is covered as if the first thing that occurred was Rondo spitting on Paul, but his point is that the incident didn't just occur out of no where.

Damn fan or not you care way too much about this.

Shel would’ve dove in front of Rondo and caught that spit from hitting Chrissy if he knew that was gonna happen.

#1 Spit was like a mist
#2 Rondo was unbelievably cool when it occured; therefore, it should have been an indicator is was not international.
#3 If I remember right he basically poked Rondo in the eye almost immediately.
One of the supposed “leaders” of the NBA should have handled it better. From the video it appeared like he was the one that drastically escalated it to the next level with the finger in the face/eye.
It took CSI-like zoom on the video and slow motion to even have a real idea the spit must even occured.
Not really wanting to defend Rondo, but it would have been extremely well thought out if he wanted to go that way. Rondo is that type of person to calculate out something, but in general the simpler scenario is probably more likely. I don’t think Rondo would truly intentionally spit on someone, and if so it would have looked differently in the moment.

In fairness, I think what Paul was doing was wiping the spit off his face and putting it back in Paul's face. If you're trying to avoid fighting at all costs, I'd think that's a pretty solid/demonstrative reaction.
You’re joking right?
Chris Paul has always been a bitch.
