May 14th: On this date...

... just one year ago, Johnny Rondo hit back-to-back 3's to help the Celtics win a crucial Game 5 over the Lebrons 96-89. Rondo ended the game with 20 points & 13 assists. Many of the local Boston papers claimed Rondo was the key to the game as he dominated the point at each end of the court. But it was a pair of 3's from the often maligned outside shooter that keyed the run giving the Celtics their first lead of the game. The Celtics went on to win the series and the NBA Championship as Bostonians proclaimed Rondo the perfect piece for their Big Three. After this Championship, many UK fans came out of the woodwork saying they knew Rondo would be this good. Not to mention it gave them another reason to rail on Tubby.
