Rajon Rondo has made the jump from supporting cast to leading role for the Boston Celtics following his 2010 NBA All-Star appearance. Possessed with energy unrivalled by many NBA point guards, his recent accolades and rise to the top of the game's elite status has only added fuel to his fire.
Rondo’s game is a rare combination of both hustle and grace. Diving for loose balls and mixing it up with guys nearly a foot taller than him, all while showing off an amazing court vision which led to the NBA’s third-best assist total of 794 during the 2009-10 season.
With Rondo poised to lead the Celtics back to a third NBA Finals appearance in four years, we have compiled our favourite Rajon Rondo moments from last season. Check it out:
