About Rajon Rondo
Rajon Pierre Rondo Sr. (; born February 22, 1986) is an American former professional basketball player. Rondo won two NBA championships, was selected four times as an NBA All-Star, earned four NBA All-Defensive Team honors including two First Team honors, and was named to the All-NBA Third Team in 2012. Rondo played two years of college basketball for the Kentucky Wildcats before being drafted 21st overall by the Phoenix Suns in the 2006 NBA draft and immediately traded to the Boston Celtics. As the team's starting point guard, Rondo helped the Celtics win the NBA Finals in 2008 and return in 2010. Rondo was a versatile facilitator, leading the league in assists three times and in steals once; he ranks fourth in Celtics history in assists and third in steals. Rondo has been described as a "stat-sheet stuffer" as his 32 regular season triple-doubles rank 16th in NBA history, while his 10 in the playoffs rank sixth. He is regarded as one of the Celtics' greatest point guards ever. After 8+1⁄2 seasons with the Celtics, Rondo was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in December 2014. After a tumultuous five-month stint he turned into a journeyman, joining the Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Pelicans, Los Angeles Lakers (two stints), Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Clippers, and Cleveland Cavaliers over the next 7+1⁄2 years. He won a second championship in 2020 with the Lakers.
