This stat about Rajon Rondo's buzzer-beater won't please Celtics fans

Share

"Where was all this 10 years ago?"

If you're a Boston Celtics fan, that likely was your reaction watching Rajon Rondo turn into a sharpshooter at TD Garden on Thursday night.

The Los Angeles Lakers guard not only went 3-of-4 from 3-point range and 7-of-11 overall, but he also delivered the dagger: a scramble-mode floater at the buzzer to hand his ex-team a crushing loss.

So, where were these heroics during Rondo's nine seasons in Boston? According to ESPN Stats & Info: nowhere.

That's right: Rondo's buzzer-beater Thursday night was the first of his entire career. And of course he saved it for revenge against the C's.

Rondo said after the game he "couldn't picture it this sweet." But crazily enough, he hit a shot from almost the exact same spot earlier in the day while playing with his son during Lakers shootaround.

Can't make this stuff up.

The rest of the NBA community seemed to know this was a seminal moment for the veteran point guard, as Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett (via his "KG's Area 21" Twitter account) were among the many left in disbelief.
