Which MVP caliber opponent did Rondo play?
Man I know you ain't forgotten the 2010 series against the Cavs. Unless you blocked it out.
Rondo guarded Lebron?
There were a few instances where Rondo ended up defending Lebron. Surprised you don't remember. Rondo really got up into his space.

Yea I am a bit surprised about that too. Thanks for sharing this, brought back some fun memories. I think people forget how good Rondo was for a few years because of how much he has bounced around the league the last 5 years (which has a lot to do with attitude I believe). I also wonder how much of his fall off was due to injury.
a few possessions here and there isn't guarding a player. And I get that was Lebron's last series in Cleveland, but he still had a very fine statistical series so if Rondo guarded him, he didn't exactly light the world on fire.
