After his run, with the Boston Celtics, Rajon Rondo floated around the league, for a little bit, before landing with the New Orleans Pelicans. It was there where he and Anthony Davis formed a bond. As a result, both were dealt to the Lakers, in the massive trade, last summer.
Rajon Rondo was paired with LeBron James, his former rival. These two have formed quite the bond, as Rajon Rondo has provided the Lakers with the spark they’ve needed. This year, they ended Portland, Houston, and Denver, in the playoffs.
In the NBA Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers have faced the Miami Heat, whose improbable run saw them sweep Indiana, upset Milwaukee, and Boston, to get to the Finals. Game 5 saw the Heat upset the Lakers’ title plans, behind Jimmy Butler’s strong play. Tonight, Rajon Rondo is in playoff mode to make sure there’s no repeat performance of that, so Twitter is calling him “Playoff Rondo.”
