[post_page_title]33. Rajon Rondo[/post_page_title]
Rajon Rondo is a tough one to crack. But just recently he did something no player has been able to do in over two decades, he dished out 25 assists in a single game. During a late December match-up with the Brooklyn Nets, Rondo totalled only two points, but made up for it with the 25 assists, 7 rebounds and one steal.
He’s still fighting to prove himself, especially since he started bouncing around between five teams in four seasons. The New Orleans point guard is currently averaging just over 10 PPG and 8.5 APG for his career.

Sam Cassell was never a flashy name or a franchise player anywhere. In fact, he was something of a journeyman, playing for eight teams during his fifteen-year career. Looking at his career more closely, however, is when his greatness begins to come into focus. Cassell’s career was bookended by NBA championships, with three titles overall – two during his rookie and sophomore campaigns with Houston and one with the Boston Celtics in his very last season.
In between, he was an All-Star once and helped the Milwaukee Bucks and Minnesota Timberwolves reach the Conference Finals twice, the latter for the first time in franchise history. True, he was never the best player on any of his teams – save for maybe a couple of seasons in New Jersey – but you sure wanted him on your side in the clutch.
