It was a great playoff run for the Boston Celtics. No one thought they would get as far as they did while taking down NBA superstars Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Dwight Howard. Even though their efforts came up short, we can't forget the main reason for the team's success. Rajon Rondo, if he hadn't already, solidified himself as one of the top point guards in the NBA. His playmaking ability was on show for the world to see and he sure did deliver. Rondo averaged 15.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 9.3 assists and even got a nickname for his in your face defense, "Grand Theft Rondo." Slowly he made everyone forget about the Big 3 and focus on the newest superstar in Boston.
