Favorite Rapper's Most Difficult Legal Trouble: Rondo loves TI, who is currently in lockdown in Atlanta after trying to buy machine guns and silencers in a shopping center parking lot before the BET awards. I also want to take this opportunity to point out my new favorite website: mediatakeout.com. It's amazing how honkey-centric most celebrity gossip sites are, which is too bad. Anyway, back to Rondo.

Random Youtube Gem: Pwnd!!!


Life Story: Rajon grew up in Lexington, KY. He seems to have had a pretty normal upbringing, and he was pretty much a sick basketball player from birth. He spent his senior season at Oak Hill Academy. (BTW, check out their alumni.) He was outrageous at Oak Hill, was a McDonald's All-American, and was planning to go to Louisville, his hometown school. Unfortunately, Rick Pitino was committed to Sebastian Telfair. It made Rajon bitter, so he went to Kentucky. Bassie went pro, and Pitino went to buy another $8,000 suit.

At Kentucky: Even though his recruiting class was rated #1 in the country in 2004, Kentucky didn't do great with Rondo on the team. They were okay, but Tubby Smith couldn't have used Rondo worse. He let a fat white kid waddle the ball up the floor and toss the ball into a plodding center with troglodyte-level intelligence. Meanwhile, Rondo was forced to jog around the perimeter hoping for an offensive rebound. He went pro after his sophomore year and was taken by the Suns and then quickly traded to the Celtics... and we thank them daily when we make our daily sacrificial offerings to the basketball gods.

As a Celtic: Rondo had a great rookie campaign when he got minutes last year- he averaged 11 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds, and almost 3 assists per 40 minutes... as a rookie.

Season Preview: Rondo is the starter and, since there is no backup point, the backup point guard for the season. He's in charge of running what could be the most prolific offense of the decade. So far in the preseason, he has been amazing. We predict that he will have a BOMB year. He'll stay coo and we know he'll holla.Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/10/player-preview-rajon-rondo.html
