Found March 06, 2008 on Sports In Your Face NBA:
This has my vote for Dunk of The Year Award
TEAMS: Detroit Pistons,  Boston Celtics
PLAYERS: Richard Hamilton,  Rajon Rondo
Rrondo2_600_060814
Please, feel free to send in ones you think are better. When I saw this, I was in AWE. All I could think of was Ode to Rondo and Ode to the back of his head.

    The best part of it was that after getting thrown down like a rag doll by Maxiell, he kept his composure and just kept playing. He is definitely one tough player. He had Hamilton talking to himself after the dunk and got Chauncey to earn a technical. Just a great game.

    I'm not even a Celtic fan, but I like this guy. How tough is that? AK 47 got hammered and looked like a baby. This guy got clobbered, hit his head, and made it look like it didn't effect him.

      Holy crap!! That was sweet. Nocioni, I thought all he did was shoot three's? It reminds me of the Tom Chambers dunk. Is there better quality of that dunk?

    • rajonrondo9 replied April 12, 2008

      thats stupid nocioni is 6'7 and rondo is 6'1. Rondo dunks when he can

    What a fantastic dunk. Rajon is the man

    I've watched this video 15 times today and still can't get over it. Rondo is the man. No one outside New England thinks he's any good but i guarantee they will in a couple years. He has top 5 PG in the league potential.
  • Rosecity07

    Rosecity07 said March 06, 2008

    I was going to hate on this because no point guards that dunk are impressive. Then I see he dunked on Maxiell who tries to dunk and block everything. Rondo completely destroyed him and made Hamilton look silly. Thank you Rondo for doing us all a favor and owning Maxiell.

  • gswarrior88 said March 06, 2008

    Much props on rondo no doubt he is going to be one of the best Pg in the league. But I think Monta Ellis can dunk all over him.

      This was for dunk of the year award, not the best dunker. I can name a lot better dunkers in the NBA than Monte, but thats not the point of this.

        Monta, I always get his name wrong.

    Sheesh, I dislike the Celtics and am not too fond of Rajon Rondo. But, when I saw this on Sports Center, I was pretty amazed.

    I don't know if I would consider it the Dunk of the Year. But, nice none-the-less.

    Good post, Mikey.
  • mickeyd27

    mickeyd27 said March 06, 2008

    To tell you the truth, I've seen a number of dunks this year that could be the best dunk of the year. I liked this one because I didn't know Rondo could dunk, let alone do it at full speed and on Maxiel.

    lol! That was filthy! The best one he has done to date is the one he gave to D-Lee, Nate, and I wanna say Balkman his Rookie year during a pre-season game at the Garden, when he caught a miss and turned it into a nice one-hander! Can anybody find that one for the Yard?!

    Im just Proud of Rajon and how he make a name for himself to come. He is the futer for the Celtics and get ready because he will be GOOD!

  • lyleleander said March 08, 2008

    oh man, that had to be fun shooting that free throw afterwards. probably had no clue where he was or even who he was.

    that was true HIGHLIGHT ! had to keep rewinding on DVR def on sc top 10 ! celtic fans smell that ? CHAMPIONSHIP !!!

    • thot721 replied March 12, 2008

      Championship? Are you serious, Boston will end up being an excellent regular season team thats it.
  • CelticsFan24

    CelticsFan24 said May 23, 2008

    It's a testament to Rondo that he kept his cool. Maybe he was just dazed, but I think if somebody did that to me my first concern might be gettin in that guy's face
