This is about exposing a side of the ultra-private point guard that no matter how much he may want to shun such attention, what he's doing off the court is far too important to be ignored.

The NBA agrees, which is why they have chosen the four-time All-Star as the Kia Community Assist Award winner for the month of December.

It is an award given to a player for his charitable efforts that go beyond simply showing up at an event or cutting a fat check.

He has a year-round passion for children that involves occasionally popping in to offer some encouraging words, maybe play a game of Connect Four or help a young person with math which as we know, is one of Rondo's strongest subjects.

"I firmly believe that it takes just one person to reach a child and to help turn his or her life in a positive direction,” said Rondo. “On the court, my job is to assist my teammates in making shots. Off the court, my passion is to assist at-risk youth in reaching their full potential.”

A Kia representative is going to present the award to him tonight.

And the PR Machine chugs on.

Not that I disapprove of helping kids, of course.
