April 21st: On this date...


... in 2009, your University of Kentucky Wildcats were represented well in round one of the NBA Playoffs as Boston Celtic/former Kentucky point guard Rajon "Johnny" Rondo threw a triple-double at Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls. There was no answer for Rondo the entire game as he continually made the freakish Rose look like the rookie he was. The final stat line for the Louisville-native was 19 points - 12 rebounds (7 offensive) - 16 assists - 5 steals. The Celtics went on to win the game, 118-115, to tie the series at one game a piece. This series would ultimately down as the best in the playoffs, and probably a top ten playoff series ever. Rondo and the Celtics advanced, as Johnny nearly averaged a triple-double for the entire series.
