Rondo Can Do Whatever The Hell He Wants

Remember back before the start of the season Rajon Rondo told the media this:

"Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo is saving his money in the event of an NBA lockout. NBA commissioner David Stern says he wants to cut player salaries by one-third.

Rondo says he's "saving a lot of money this year." He is scheduled to make $9 million this season."

This made me (and probably a lot of people) believe that Rondo would be very conservative with his new 5 year, 55 million dollar contract. But on twitter last night, he showed us that he was staying entertained with this expensive video game system while nursing his sprained ankle with the photo below. I like this, you know why? Rondo can do whatever ever the hell he wants. He says he's gonna save money, and a few months later BOOM, $5000+ dollar video game. Don't care. #1 point guard in the league.

Showdown at MSG on Wednesday Night

This Wednesday night the Celtics will be visiting Madison Square Garden to take on the Knicks. This is going to be a good game for many reasons. The Celtics are on a 10 game winning streak, and the Knicks are on a 8 game winning streak. Our records are very close in regards of the Atlantic division and it should play out to be a very interesting match-up as we all know the beef between KG and Amare.

Not to mention, Carmelo might get traded to the Knicks soon..(not cool)

The Association: Episode 1

 

The Association is basically a documentary which follows one NBA team around for the whole season and airs 5 episodes summing up the key events throughout their season. This year's NBA team is none other than the Boston Celtics. Episode 1 is posted above in case anyone missed it last night. It gives you a behind the scenes look at what the Celtics go through to be one of the top teams in the NBA and some of the tribulations they have to endure as the season goes on. 

Here is the schedule for the remaining episodes:

Episode 2 - Friday, Jan. 21 - 7 p.m. (30 minutes)
Episode 3 - Friday, Feb. 25 - 7 p.m. (30 minutes)
Episode 4 - Wednesday, March 16 - 7 p.m. (30 minutes)
Episode 5 - Friday, April 15 - 8 p.m. (60 minutes)

I Wonder How Much Money Was Bet On The Powder Toss..

Honestly, I am not a LeBron hater. The only time I hate him is when he faces the Celtics...but besides then, I can't say I don't like him. If you actually think about all the stuff he has gone through in his career with the media and all, I'm pretty sure 95% of the people who talk shit about him would crumble within the first year if they were in his position. Last night he was in a stadium of 20,562 people who hate him and he still went out there with a grin on his face, tossed powder in the air, and dropped 38 on the Cavs while getting booed the whole time. If that's not a true ballers mindset, then I don't what is.

Rookie Of The Year, For Sure.

Is Tony Parker Mentally Disabled?

Eva Longoria has recently filed for divorce from elite NBA point guard Tony Parker. Rumors are that she found well over 100 text messages in his phone from Erin Barry, wife of former teammate Brent Barry. First of all....why in the world would you ever cheat on Eva Longoria? Granted Erin Barry (pictured after the jump) is not bad looking at all, she is still no Eva Longoria. Tony Parker should have been thankful that he landed someone as smoking as her to begin with, but too late now Tony. On the bright side, hopefully this disrupts the Spurs team chemistry because they have a very good record so far.

NBA Friday Night Recap

A ton of NBA basketball was played tonight, nine games in total. For true NBA fans, a couple of the match-ups were worthy of following, but no big time games were on the schedule tonight. It's impossible to watch every minute of every game, catch all the highlights, and write about them all. But honestly, who needs it? I watched the end the of the OKC Thunder- Portland game and caught 2 minutes of highlights from around the league. What I heard was so intriguing, interesting and amazing that I had to share it with the world, because I don't know who will be watching Sportscenter over and over again tomorrow morning.  I won't get into too many details, there's just some stuff you gotta know. Hit the jump.

(Hint: 31 and 31, 36 and 34, and another comeback victory)
