Rondo is pretty low on this list. He exaggerates every hit, and lays on the ground for a few seconds. He also probably averages 1 instance of getting laid out on the floor by a pick every game.When he starts getting up quicker and stops the drama, I'll consider him tougher.The dumbest thing about these 'color' threads is that there is no clear dividing line between black and white. Look at Obama. He is equally 'white' and 'black' based on parents. There are plenty of players like that in the NBA. Don't try to tell me that Kidd can be labeled a black player but not a white player.
Dwyane Wade I'd say, until he cried when he dislocated his shoulder. I'm going with AI.
If we can raise the bar an inch, I would say Paul Pierce is the toughest guy in the league. This guy doesn't blow by people and fall when grazed like the fast little guys. Paul takes legitimate blows because he is not rocket like those guys. He keeps attacking though and never exagerates the contact by sliding onto the floor.

And, as much as i love paul, and he does take a beating....he does sell some fouls pretty hard when he barley gets contact driving.Paul is an avid user of the "sniper shot to the head" move when he drives, but then so are all SF's who drive since the ref's fall for it all the time. to not do it costs your team.
