Did Rondo try to kick D-Will on his game winner?

Chuck - Red's Army January 6, 2016 Around the NBA, Rajon Rondo 8 Comments

The Mavericks beat the Kings last night thanks to Deron Williams’ (yes, he’s still alive) buzzer beating triple in 2OT.

Rajon Rondo didn’t play (back spasms, aka fear of getting booed) but may have tried to play some defense on the final play.

Tim Cato of Mavs Moneyball:

I’m not sure whether to call this an attempted kick, just Rondo sticking his leg out or what, but it certainly appears to be an attempt to interfere with the shooter.

Sigh. This most certainly is peak Rondo.

Call it whatever you want but it’s clearly an attempt to disrupt Williams.

I want to say Rondo is better than this, but I’m not sure he is.

    This directly affects my opinion of Rondo as a player…and not in a positive way.

    This is kind of crap that Michael Jordan would do.

      What does that even mean?

    Reminds me of Mike Tomlin vs Jacoby Jones. This one is hard to call because it does look like he’s trying to mess with Williams. On the other hand, at that range, if he actually wanted to make contact and mess with his foot, he easily could have but he didn’t. As a Rondo fan I want to say this is just him screwing around making it look worse than what he actually did. So hard to say with Rondo…

      Looks like I was correct, thanks alternate angle!

    You guys are acting like KG didn’t do stuff like this all the time.

    • Curt Hays

      I can think of two instances, I think. Channing Frye is all that comes to mind.

        There was at least one sneaky elbow thrown per game lol. I miss KG.
