Unfortunately, practically all of my afternoon took place at Willie T. Young Library studying the recent epic failures in our financial world. Former UK Wildcat, Rajon Rondo, however, spent his a little differently. Sunday, which was Rondo's 23rd Birthday, provided the Kentucky basketball program with something to be proud of. Being short-handed, as KG was out with a knee injury, the Celtics needed some big performances out of other players.
Rajon put up a career high 32 points, dishing out 10 assists in the 128-108 victory over the Phoenix Suns. All-Star Paul Pierce put his stamp of approval on our boy by saying, "As Rondo goes, this team goes...if he plays as well as he's playing, there's no way we can lose." Rondo, who already has two triple-doubles this season, has more than likely put himself in the driver's seat of the point guard role for the forseeable future.
Damn...would have been nice if he had stayed here until he graduated. Oh well, Happy Birthday to the little fella and a good game.
