Rajon Rondo is starting his second year in the Celtics line up and shinning like the star he is. Rondo recorded the first triple-double of his NBA career with 16 points, 17 assists, and 13 rebounds against the Indiana Pacers last night. His outstanding performance helped the Celtics win 114-96. Hanging out at the guard position, Rondo makes it his job to make sure the "Big Three" of Garnett, Allen and Pierce are in position to score again helping bring the Celtics to victory. Both Allen and Peirce have spoken publicly about their ability to play with Rondo easily they know where he is going to be and in turn know where they need to be on the court for him to make the big plays. So is Rondo going to be on the All-Star team? Probably, well at least I hope so, again though it is way too early in the season to start making such predictions. However, with Garnett, the highest paid player in the NBA, making over 24 mil this season and Paul Pierce close behind with 18 mil and Ray Allen with a little over 17 mil; you would think the play maker Rajon Rondo would be making more than 1.3 mil. Granted he is a new player and I can't even believe I am saying this with the economy being the way that it is, but I think maybe at the end of this season if he does make it to the All-Star game and he keeps playing the way that he does, maybe Rondo should ask for a raise... I'm just saying.
