    Rajon Pierre Rondo (born February 22, 1986) is an American


    professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball
    Association (NBA). Rondo played two years of college basketball for the Kentucky
    Wildcats before he was drafted 21st overall by the Phoenix Suns in the 2006 NBA draft.
    He was subsequently traded to the Celtics, where he played a supporting role during his
    rookie season. Rondo, a four-time NBA All-Star, had led the league in assists per game
    three times (2012, 2013, and 2016). He was named to the All-NBA Third Team in 2011–
    12 and has earned four NBA All-Defensive Team honors, twice on the First Team
    (2009–10 and 2010–11). During his time in Boston, Rondo helped the Celtics advance
    to the NBA Finals in 2008 and 2010, winning a championship in 2008 as the team's
    starting point guard. Rondo has long been known as an elite facilitator in the NBA,
    ranking fourth in Celtics history in assists and third in steals. He is also considered a
    stat-sheet stuffer,[1] ranking 11th in NBA history for triple-doubles with 32 in the regular
    season,[2] to go with 10 in the playoffs.[3][4]
    After 8½ seasons with the Celtics, Rondo was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in
    December 2014. A tumultuous five-month stint ensued, and in 2015, Rondo joined
    the Sacramento Kings. In 2016, he joined the Chicago Bulls, before joining the New
    Orleans Pelicans in 2017 and the Lakers in 2018.

    Early life
    Rondo was born on February 22, 1986 in Louisville, Kentucky, to Amber Rondo.[5] He
    has three siblings: Dymon, William and Anton.[6] He had little contact with his father, who
    left his family when he was seven years old.[6] To support the family, his mother worked
    the third shift at Philip Morris USA, a tobacco company.[6] Rondo was first interested
    in football, before his mother steered him towards basketball because she felt that the
    sport would be less punishing on his skinny frame.[6]

    High school career


    After Rondo became serious about basketball, he attended Louisville's Eastern High
    School for three years. During his junior year at Eastern High School, he averaged
    27.9 points, 10.0 rebounds and 7.5 assists which earned him a spot on the All-State
    honors and was named the 7th Region Player of the Year. He transferred to
    Virginia's Oak Hill Academy for his senior year where he averaged 21.0 points per
    game (ppg), 3.0 rebounds per game (rpg) and 12.0 assists per game (apg) and finished
    the 2003–04 season with a 38–0 record.[7] In his senior year at Oak Hill Academy,
    Rondo broke Jeff McInnis's single-season school record of 303 assists, while averaging
    a double-double. There, he included two efforts of 27 assists and a single-game school
    record of 31, merely four away from the all-time national record. [7] He also had a 55-point
    game in high-school, second highest all-time in Oak Hill Academy, surpassed only by
    Calvin Duncan with 61.[8] Rondo was named to the McDonald's All-American Team in
    2004 and scored a total of 14 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds in the all-star game. [9] He
    also participated in the 2004 Jordan Capital Classic game, logging 12 points, 5 assists
    and 4 steals.[10] Rondo was also named a second-team Parade All-American. He ended
    his career as Oak Hill Academy's all-time assists leader in a single season with 494
    assists, surpassing McInnis.[11]
