Rondo with 20 assists tonight.

At one point in the first half, Charlotte missed a shot in transition, and the Sacramento rebounder tried to throw an outlet to a teammate about 3/4 court away. Rondo intercepted the pass at midcourt, and then he threw the pass to the teammate still chasing toward the basket and got the assist.

Might be the first time I've ever seen a guy "steal" an assist from a teammate.
 
He's now sitting at 4,937 assists on his career, which is remarkable given the amount of time he's missed due to injuries. I really hope he plays another 7 or 8 years. Would love to see him rank among the 10 in career assists.
 
I'll never forget Tubby complaining that Rondo wasn't wiling to rebound the basketball; Rondo went out the next game and got 20 of them just to prove a point. This is the day I knew Tubby had to go. Not hijacking the thread (it seems dead already anyway).
 
New kings record for assist's in a single game. The assist to break the record was an out of bounds alley oop with .7 of a second left to TIE the game. Pin point pass to
Rudy Gay right at the rim.

Without injuries, and bad press,he would be talked about as one of the top 5 Pg's in the game today.

Don't see anything wrong with Tubby saying that. At 6'1 Rondo was the best rebounder on that team.
 
Rondo is a freak. Always has been. I know most here thought the dude couldn't put up the same stats he used to put up, but now I'm thinking most were just wrong and the dude is still one of the elite guards in the world.
 
He def didn't like something in Dallas, because he wasn't putting up with that crap. Tayshaun probably knows, because he played for Carlisle in Detroit.

Rondo is still a difference maker. I thought he and Collison might clash, but they do well together.
