I don't know but I will say that the pronunciation, "Ray-jan Ron-DO" does sounds cooler.

It is Rah-john, not Ray-john. Most of the ESPN guys (Hubie Brown most notably) say it wrong. Hasn't Rondo reached the point where they should be pronouncing his name correctly?

I'm with you 100% but I'd just like to point out that it doesn't help that our very own Donny Marshall switches it up between calling him Rah-john and Ray-jhawn.
