An argument can be made that Rajon Rondo is a perfect summation of what went wrong with the Los Angeles Lakers this season. He should never have been signed, got hurt, but did just enough to apparently convince Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka that their experiment of putting ball-handlers around LeBron James is not just one giant, wet fart noise.
But it was a fart noise. James’ description was apt. Rondo may as well have been blowing raspberries as part of his closeout routine to shooters this season.
