Rajon Rondo Is Back To Being A Great NBA Oddball

One of the more depressing things to happen last NBA season was the disappearance of Rajon Rondo, who began the season as a bad fit on a young Celtics team and accelerated toward oblivion after a midseason trade to the Mavericks.

I’m a child of a broken home.
