Rajon Rondo Raised Another $2,500 For Boston Last Night
Rajon Rondo is looking like Thomas Crown out on the hardwood these days. Last night, he finished with five steals, and through eight games already has 25. By now were sure you know about Rondo and Red Bull’s Boston’s Got Wings initiative, which has Red Bull donating $500 to Boston’s Parks and Recreation Department to refurbish basketball courts throughout the city for every steal Rondo records this season. With 25 steals to date, that means $12,500 has already been donated. At this clip, he’s on pace to swipe the rock 254 times and donate $127,000. Not bad.
For those of you in Boston, there’s a steal tracker that hangs in The Greatest Bar. If you go there to watch a C’s game, it updates in realtime.
For more on Boston’s Got Wings and for information on how you can participate, make sure to check back with DimeMag.com, and visit Red Bull for more details and voting.

kobe – unimpressive for kobe so far
lbj – worse stats ever in his career
durant – thunder are disappointing so far
cp3 – great start

What Rajon needs to do is donate $5,000 for every open jumper he misses, if that won’t fix his outside shot, then nothing will…

@3: lol
i don’t know what rondo’s problem is. remember finals game 7 last season in the waning seconds he made a turnaround 3-pointer that cut the laker lead to 2? dude can make the jumpers when he’s desperate. i guess in a normal game he just doesn’t want it enough.

Players make “desperate” jumpers because it is a reaction and instinctive thing…when you have time to think about it you lose focus on “just shooting the ball”…thats is how I coach my team, every shot should be instinctive and not a part of some thought process…and I have come to the realization that no matter what Rajon does certain entities on this site will hate on something…but thats the beauty of the internet…
