Couple Notes

Looks like this may be mentioned right below, but to clarify further - under the 2012-2013 subsection, the last sentence mentions that "Rondo still led the NBA in assists in the season." This statement is incorrect (he led the NBA in assists per game, not total assists). In addition, the NBA has strict guidelines about the minimum number of games that a player needs to play to qualify for stats leaders - this fact alone warrants some sort of citation.

In terms of most recent updates, the recent Jimmy Butler/Dwyane Wade/Rajon Rondo public back and forth may be worth mentioning. Also, Rondo has settled into a role off the bench with consistent minutes, which might be worth mentioning. Currently, the Chicago Bulls subsection ends by mentioning how he fell out of the rotation. Rondomelo34 (talk) 06:03, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Assists

Article claims Rondo led NBA in assists last year. He lead in assists per game, the way the article is worded it could be interpreted as total assists. He led in assists per game, not total assists, and, as it is written right now, it's vague at best

Clean-up needed

Player profile - section
Templates: Fansite|section and cleanup-section added. I like Rondo too, but this is wikipedia. This section needs a lot of revision, in terms of grammar, adjective choice, sources, etc. ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 19:54, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

5th Triple Double

Someone edit in the 5th triple double he got on 5/09/10 against the Cleveland Cavaliers —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.24.119.106 (talk) 22:28, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life

In 2011, he was briefly married to rising actress Brittany Walker. We would like to know his accomplishments and achievements outside of basketball. Does he do charity work? If so, what's the name of the charity? Nicknames? Does he have kids? A girlfriend? A wife? I know the answer to most of these things but they still should be included. Almost every person on here has a Personal Life section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Simplyy shayy (talk • contribs) 07:49, 20 May 2010 (UTC) Rajon rondo was traded to the Dallas mavericks of the NBA[reply]

Pronunciation

Maybe the article should say how he pronounces "Rajon". —JerryFriedman (Talk) 05:06, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Probably. I know when he was at UK, the Big Blue Nation always said "RAH - jon", but it seems many of the folks at the worldwide leader insist on saying "RAY - jon". Acdixon ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 12:51, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Added, thanks! Zagalejo^^^ 20:01, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

With last night's game, Rondo is now sixth all-time in post season triple doubles; he's only behind Oscar, Bird, Magic, Kidd, and Wilt.^[3]

At this point, you might be able to edit the article yourself. Give it a shot! Zagalejo^^^ 17:31, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ha thanks! I was still getting the "semi protected" warning, so I assumed I wasn't able to edit. Silly me. Are we allowed to upload images of Rajon's Sports Illustrated covers if they're photographs of the physical magazine —Jamesbarlow3 (talk) 18:00, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article is still semi-protected, but that just means that brand-new editors can't edit it. Generally, magazine covers wouldn't be considered usable, because of copyright issues. In some cases, you could make a fair use argument for their inclusion, but I think that would be hard to do here. Zagalejo^^^ 18:14, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to change this of Rondos Wiki Page

| image = Rajon Rondo Media Day.jpg | caption = Rondo with the Celtics during Media Day in 2010 | weight_lb = 186

I would like to change these aspects of his wikipedia page because Rondo now plays for the Dallas Mavericks and the caption and picture dates back to 2010 when he played with the Celtics. Also I would like to change the weight because his real weight (as stated on google) is 185 lb and I would love for everything to be 100% accurate thank you.

Edit Request-- "stat stuffer"?

The article says he's considered a "stat sheet stuffer" because he had a lot of triple doubles, but what the heck is that? Is that a term that's actually used? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Specifically, are you saying he takes extra, unwise shots at the team's expense, or to pile on in a blowout, in order to achieve these triple doubles?

There is a reference to an article about his triple doubles, and it uses the phrase "stat-sheet-stuffing", but there is no suggestion that stuffing the stat sheet is a bad thing.

I think the phrase "stat sheet stuffer", which could be misleading, should be removed, and I actually don't think people go around calling Rondo a "stat sheet stuffer"; it's just that one article. The fact that he had so many triple doubles is worth mentioning, though.Wood Monkey 15:56, 3 July 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neurodog (talk • contribs)

Legal issues update?

Do we know more about the status of his legal issues? The Legal Issues section says his hearing was scheduled for February 2024, which was many months ago. All I can find elseware is that his trial was delayed pending a SCOTUS decision on a relevant case ([1]) and that case was decided in June 2024 (United States v. Rahimi), but nothing further related to this. Anyone know any more? Doikey18 (talk) 19:15, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
