Color Him Badd
This just goes to show, Russell Westbrook and Rajon Rondo have a long way to go to catch MJ, fashion-wise.

“I’m the best skater in the [NBA],” Rondo told the Boston Globe in 2008. “I don’t know who’s good, but I’m the best skater in the league. That’s just something I like to do outside the court. A lot of us like to bowl, too, but I’d rather skate. I’m in my own zone.”
The Legend of Rondo continues…
Who is Rondo’s competition for best roller skater in the NBA? My guesses:
Chase Budinger (probably a roller blade man, however)
Baron Davis (though he prefers tandem bicycling)
Jimmer Fredette (what else is he doing on nights off?)
Fred Jones (honorable mention, Chinese Basketball Association)
And, of course:

Charles Barkley on why Rondo confronted a cameraman after the game:
“He was doing family time, that was the first thing. Second thing, I think he was mad about that jacket he wore.”

“Hey Rajon. You know how you dislocated your elbow and then popped it back in? I think I just did that with my pancreas.”

Dunk Contest Lineup Announced
Your 2011 Dunk Contest participants:
- Blake Griffin
- Serge Ibaka
- Brandon Jennings
- JaVale McGee
It’s a big man jam on All-Star Weekend, with Brandon Jennings bearing the standard for dunking guards everywhere. Griffin is the clear favorite, with JaVale McGee having the most potential to go Birdman on the contest. I am very afraid that somehow, Nate Robinson is going to sneak into this contest at the last minute.
It’s an uninspiring field, aside from Blake the Quake. It feels like the contest is his to lose - the only way Griffin loses is if there’s an impressive little guy against him, and Jennings is not that guy. Griffin versus other bigs is no competition at all. David Stern seems more interested in gift-wrapping a victory for a marketable young star than in holding an entertaining event.
Remember last year’s H.O.R.S.E. competition, where Kevin Durant faced off with Rajon Rondo and Omri Casspi? Rondo can’t shoot, and Casspi was playing H.O.R.S.E. for the very first time. It could not have been easier for KD, and this should also be a piece of cake for Griffin. However, Griffin plays for the Clippers, so there’s roughly equal probability that Griffin hoists the trophy and that Griffin ruptures his patella in Round One.
“You go out and compete against a guy every day, but obviously you’ve got to be a fan of the game, and what we call in the urban world, you can’t be a hater.”
— Mo Williams, tipping his cap to Rajon Rondo while seriously underestimating the extent that “urban” language has spread into mainstream culture.
