Should be seriously considered for LEAGUE MVP.I know that I am the biggest Rajon Rondo fan and I may be a little too obsessed with the PG, however, he has gone on more than just a fuck you tour to BMack, Coobs and all of the haters out there (I think they all have apologized and admitted their faults) that wanted him gone. On this Celtics run Rajon has thrown his hat into the MVP ring. The Celtics have gone 18 and 7 since the all-star break and have gone from an 8 seed to now on the heels of a 3 seed. He also has 18 straight games of 10+ assists, which is extremely impressive.
He is the engine that makes this Celtics team go (other than Doc) and has rejuvenated KG, Ray, and Paul Pierce's seasons. He gives Brandon Bass every opportunity for open jumpers, and a lot of Avery Bradley's (who we all thought was a bust) recent success offensively can be attributed to being able to run with Rondo. The Celtics have been streaking and a lot of it can be given credit to Rondo.
Let's go to the numbers now. Rondo for the season is averaging 12 points, 11 assists and 5 rebounds a game. So if we combine points and assists at it's minimum he has a direct impact for 34 points a game and that doesn't include 3's in that. Post All Star break he has averaged about 10 points and 13 assists a game (so 36 points minimum a game) , isn't that what we praise Kevin Durant and LeBron James for? If you take LeBron's points+ assists per game it's 38 points he's directly effecting, but the Heat also have been floundering recently, while the Celtics have put the foot on the gas.
NBA.com has just included him in the top 10 MVP watch, but if this team keeps progressing and surging, I don't see how Rondo can't be the MVP of the league.
Also I never saw this commercial and it's awesome how much he hates the Lakers:
