Rajon Rondo has evolved into the leader of the Boston Celtics in their playoff series against the Chicago Bulls. In the five games played so far, Rondo is averaging 24.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, 10.2 assists and 3.2 steals. Boston currently leads the best-of-seven series 3-2.
During the regular season, Rondo played in 80 games and averaged 11.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 8.2 assists. An injury to Kevin Garnett has left the Celtics with a need to find increased production from other players. Rondo has stepped up in a big way.
Rondo is from Louisville, Kentucky. He played at Louisville Eastern high school before finishing his high school career at national powerhouse Oak Hill Academy. He played two seasons for the University of Kentucky Wildcats before being drafted in the first round of the 2006 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns. He was traded to the Boston Celtics and has been a two-year starter at point guard in Beantown. He earned an NBA Championship ring last season with the Celtics.
