#Pointgod Spotlight: Rajon Rondo (January 1st-8th)


Rajon Rondo is simply a #pointgod in everyway. The Celtics PG had 12 points, 22 assists, and 10 rebounds for his 11th career triple-double, adding six steals to help Boston beat the San Antonio Spurs 105-103 in a matchup of the NBA's top two teams. Rondo's 22 assists were the second-most in his career; he had 24 in an Oct. 29 game against the New York Knicks that was his only other triple-double this season. His six steals were a season-high and one off his career-high. Rajon is in the perfect position with the Hall Of Fame bound starting five Boston Celtics. As a natural point guard, Rondo’s stock has risen since he has really become the leader on a team with great players. He has everything a pure point could ask for from shooters, slashers and post players that you can both dump the ball into and can finish at the rim. 22 assists is unbelievable, but it takes two! The Celtics were on fire specifically Ray Allen which helps spread the floor and lets Rondo have his way with the defense as they continue to back up and let him get into the lane. Since he’s enterted the league he has been a great rebounder for a point guard. The question is can Rondo continue to put up these type of numbers when the Hall Of Famers are gone? We shall see but regardless the ability to find players for 22 assists along with 12 points and 10 rebounds deserves a #pointgod spotlight!
