Found February 26, 2012 on Washington Post:
PLAYERS: Rajon Rondo
TEAMS: Boston Celtics
9d
John Wall came in fourth place behind champion Tony Parker, Rajon Rondo and Deron Williams in the Skills Challenge on All-Star Saturday in Orlando, improving upon his fifth-place last season. But that didn’t mean that there wasn’t another slightly embarrassing moment to go along with Greg Monroe pulling out a rug from under him late in the Rising Stars Challenge. Read full article >>

Green Rondo ala Quirk. Rajon Rondo's oddity is quirky to say the least. ORLANDO (Sportsman’s Daily Wire Service) In a story that is quickly overshadowing the Western Conference’s 152-149 victory in the NBA All-Star Game, Rajon Rondo stunned teammates when the Celtics guard revealed he has an extra appendage just to the left of his penis. “Yeah man, I really didn’t...

Rondo Replaces Curry in Skills Challenge

Via Celtics Life  |  February 24, 2012
It looks like Celtics fans have something to look forward to on All Star Saturday after all.   Last year we had Ray and Paul shooting it out in the 3 point contest.  This year it didn't appear that there would be any Celtics entrants in the Saturday festivities.  But today, Rajon Rondo was named to replace Stephen Curry in the Skills Challenge.     In case you have forgotten...

Rondo for Gasol rumor hot again

Via Celtics Life  |  February 26, 2012
According to Peter Vecsey of the NY Post, the Lakers would be more than interested in acquiring Rajon Rondo from the Celtics. If the Lakers indeed are interested in signing Rasheed Wallace — a logical step-down from flirting with Gilbert Arenas—it lends credence to the Rajon Rondo/Jermaine O’Neal-Pau Gasol swap I keep hearing. Lord knows they’re desperate for a point guard...

Rajon Rondo replaces Stephen Curry in Skills Challenge

Via State Of The Celtics  |  February 24, 2012
Does anyone still watch the Skills Challenge? I mean, seriously. What's the point of this thing? Does dribbling around stationary objects, throwing a ball through a tire and making a layup really prove anything? Is anyone astounded by the "skills" displayed in the Skills Challenge? It's about as relevant as the 2Ball contest was. If you remember 2Ball, you&...

Your Morning Dump... Rondo, Pierce do very little in All-Star game

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. Not even the All-Star Game's lack of defensive intensity could shake Pierce from his season-long shooting slump.

Are the Celtics being used to facilitate Howard trade to the Lakers?

Via Celtics Life  |  February 27, 2012
The two big rumors in the NBA this weekend were Rajon Rondo to the Lakers for Pau Gasol and an imminent Dwight Howard to the Lakers trade, which was denied by the Magic. Dwight Howard is the Lakers main target. So far they have offered Bynum to the Magic for him, which the Magic turned down. The Magic want both Bynum and Gasol for Howard and Hedo's poison pill contract, which...
