All good picks...so many to choose from.

This, to me, symbolizes what he's done for BOS this season:



He's been the Mad Chemist...mixing up dishes and plays to keep this team competitive.

He may not get the love from ESPN all the time, but the man is having an MVP-like season.

Sports Illustrated, anyone?



Keep it up, Rondo! All you have to do is make THIS man proud:



And I'm sure he's doing just that. :)

Bring back those shorts!!!!

The game where he guarded LeBRon and snoops in the Heat Huddle. While registering a ho-hum triple double.

  • Everyone's excited for the new era.
My favorite is his dive/steal from Jason Williams in GM 4 of the Magic series.

But my second favorite is actually a game where he dominated on the defensive side of the ball.  GM 6 vs the Lakers in '08.  I vividly remember the first quarter when RR kept breaking down the Laker O, and Phil Jackson told his team during a timeout that Rondo was killing them.  That made me so happy!

RR has certainly had some amazing highlights over the years.  It makes me wonder what he can do once he has a running squad alongside him.  Expect to see a lot of alley oop highlights to JG(hopefully) and JJJ in the coming years!

That put-back he had over Lamar Odom in the 2010 finals was always one of my favorite moments. 

The dive for the loose ball against the Magic was huge though. I don't think a single Celtic fan was able to stay in their seat after that play.

Game 5 in 2009 vs the Bulls.  The hard foul on Brad Miller.  One of the reasons I love the guy.

Game 4 vs. the Cavs in the 2010 playoffs.  If I had to pick one particular play, it would be a fast break with TA where he made Lebron commit on the chase down and dropped the ball behind the back to Tony for the finish.

That play just seems to define his play and the team's play in that series.

Totally agree. That one play felt like such a huge turning point. To me, that's the best game Rondo has ever played.

Mines were
1)the dive in the Orlando series. That was some old school hustling.
2)That game 4 in Cleveland especially when he did that pass to Tony with LeBron in the air. That game had people look at him completely different.
3)That game when he jumped higher than Odom and I think Kobe for the tip in during the Finals. I remember Kobe's face looking confused as heck on how he out-jumped them.
4)The elbow injury and coming back in the same game last year.
The Heat game last year even made some people I know who are true Laker fans a fan of him.
I hope he can add more greatest moments in the playoffs this year because when he's completely on he's a really exciting player to watch.
