Aside from the from helping to lead the Boston Celtics to their blistering 48-18 record, Rajon Rondo has also led the fight to do great things for city of Boston. We have been documenting his involvement in the great Red Bull Boston’s Got Wings movement that launched in the fall that sees $500 for every Rondo steal donated to the city’s Department of Parks and Recreation to refurbish courts in the metro area.

As winter breaks, refurbishments on four courts that have won funding from the Boston’s Got Wings program are about to take place over the next few weeks.

On Friday night, Rajon Rondo swiped his 30th steal of the NBA season.
