Video of the Day: Rondo’s Ridiculous Over the Backboard Bucket
November 4, 2009 – Dr. J-Water
The nice thing about having the shot clock winding down on you is that you can fire up the ball from any angle in any type of motion you’d like without the Coach and your teammates being too upset with the wild shot. The ball must go up!
Well Rajon Rondo took that to heart last night in the matchup of the Celtics/Sixers when he tossed a wild shot over the outstretched arm of his defender, over the backboard and in. The type of shot you practice at the playground when you’re bored. Rajon Rondo never ceases to amaze with his flashy game, but reserved personality. If you missed the game last night check out the replay of the shot:
see that is how you get yourself a $55 mil contract. Another Celtics blowout!
To put it in even better perspective, Rondo was guarded by the 7 foot Jason Smith on the play. You’re right J-Water, the whole Celtics team was bored by the thought of playing D on the Sixers.
