I used to be a fan of the Lakers until I started watching Celtics games and was won over by their attractive play and their hardworking point guard Rajon Rondo.
I mean, if you watch his hustle plays(most memorable was Game 5 vs Magic where he chased down a loose ball behind Jason Williams, DIVED and got the ball even though he was like 2-3 steps behind Williams, and proceeded to lay the ball in), watch his hardworking spirit (top rebounding point guard), watch his amazing vision (most assists in a season for Celtics franchise) and his quick hands (leads the league in steals/game) ... how can you not fall in love with a player like that?
I like how this article talks about how the Celtics have aged but matured,
Bring up age all you want when you discuss the Celtics and their main area of concern, fair enough, as long as you examine how age has also helped the team.Specifically, Rondo. He's wiser, grown up, more mature than in 2008, when the Celtics won a championship with half the point guard they have now.
Some more key quotes from this article: NBA Finals start in 3 days, go Celtics!!!
"The Celtics are back in the championship round because Rondo is a star. He is the difference"
"Counting the first round through the conference finals, we've seen the Celtics against Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Dwight Howard. You know what? For a good portion of those games, the best player on the floor, all things considered, was Rondo."
