The recent friction and racial divide nationwide has been a topic of large interest for NBA players. Two months ago, the likes of Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, and LeBron James spearheaded a conversation about police violence at the ESPYs. Anthony followed through — hosting a town hall meeting in Los Angeles during Team USA’s exhibition […]

The art of passing is a beautiful thing to watch in sports, especially in basketball. The NBA just released its compilation of best 50 assists from the 2015-16 season, and it’s full of dime after dime. Isaiah Thomas‘ dish takes the top spot on their list, with Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, LeBron James, Rajon Rondo, […]

Fred Hoiberg has a new toy with him when the season begins in less than three months. After giving it a shot with Derrick Rose leading the attack for the Chicago Bulls last season, Hoiberg now has a different type of court general, and a former NBA champion at that, in Rajon Rondo. It’s no […]

Stephen Jackson may actually be serious about attempting an NBA comeback. Jackson announced his retirement a year ago and hasn’t played in an NBA game since January 2014. Not only has he been preparing to make a comeback, but players around the league have been recruiting him, mainly Jimmy Butler and Rajon Rondo of the […]

One of the more surprising moves this NBA free agency was Dwyane Wade leaving the team he spent his entire career with in the Miami Heat and going back home to Chicago to likely finish up his career. Although, it should not have come as much of a shock because of the disrespectfully low contracts […]

Jimmy Butler is currently focused on winning a gold medal in the Rio Olympics next month, but that doesn’t mean he’s not excited about the Chicago Bulls‘ makeover during the offseason. After losing Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah, Butler is now joined by Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade. Butler posted about his new teammates on the […]

Kings center DeMarcus Cousins talked to the media on Thursday, July 28th, 2016 before a team USA practice in Chicago. One question that came up was the departure of point guard Rajon Rondo, who has joined the Bulls instead of resigning. “I mean it sucks,” Cousins said. “Me and Rondo really grew a great bond. […]

The new-look Chicago Bulls are poised to make some noise in the Eastern Conference. The Derrick Rose-era has ended in Chicago, and in steps a remodeled back court featuring Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade, and Jimmy Butler. Rondo, who will run the point and distribute the ball to a plethora of scoring options, is somewhat of […]

The Sacramento Kings did not have a successful 2015-16 season. They missed the playoffs even with a lineup better than previous years, at least on paper. They added Rajon Rondo to their fold then but still failed to make progress in the competitive Western Conference. One of their key players, small forward Rudy Gay, recently […]

The Sacramento Kings are reportedly seeking to add a former NBA player and one of the top players in Europe right now to their roster.

The Chicago Bulls certainly added a lot of interesting pieces this summer. The question is if they’re going to be able to find a way to make them all fit together. One player who is never short on confidence, Rajon Rondo, thinks the Bulls can have one of the best backcourts in the NBA next […]

The Chicago Bulls have had a roller coaster of an offseason thus far. From appearing to be headed for a rebuild, they have managed to get themselves back into the East’s upper echelon, thanks to a couple of big additions. After being involved in a number of trade rumors, Jimmy Butler has finally solidified his […]

Heading into the offseason, there was a strong belief around Chicago that the Bulls would either have to unload Jimmy Butler or Derrick Rose. It wasn’t that they didn’t get along; their styles of play simply clashed. Both guys need the ball in their hands to reach their optimal levels of production, and it wasn’t […]

The Chicago Bulls’ free agency moves were overshadowed by Kevin Durant’s decision to join the Golden State Warriors. Nonetheless, the departure of Derrick Rose, Pau Gasol, and Joakim Noah, as well as the addition of Dwyane Wade, and Rajon Rondo could have dominated the headlines had this been any other year. The confluence of these […]

During this year’s free agency, the Chicago Bulls have been one of the busier teams in the NBA. They traded their franchise player and former league MVP, Derrick Rose, to the New York Knicks. Then, they watched charismatic leader Joakim Noah made the move to the Big Apple as well. Of course, while subtracting, they […]

Throughout their history, the Sacramento Kings have had some great and memorable moments. Their peak was the period of 1998-2004, during which their dynamic roster (composed from great players such as Vlade Divac, Peja Stojackovic, Jason Williams, Mike Bibby, Doug Christie, and Chris Webber) made the playoffs six times. In four of those years, they […]

Newly acquired Bulls‘ point guard Rajon Rondo answered questions for reporters during a team practice in Chicago, speicifically discussing the upcoming Bulls’ locker room situation next year. With other veteran superstar Dwyane Wade entering the Bulls organization this upcoming campaign, many have felt that there will be some hardships in the Bulls pecking order, especially in […]

Following the recent acquisition of both Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo, as well as the Derrick Rose trade that brought in Robin Lopez and Jerian Grant, the Chicago Bulls have had what many consider to be a successful offseason so far. When Chicago’s own Rose was traded to the New York Knicks, many assumed that […]

As reported, in a shocking turn of events, the Chicago Bulls have signed former Miami Heat franchise star Dwyane Wade. Rumours had been been circulating over the past day that Jimmy Butler and Rajon Rondo had been actively recruiting Dwayne Wade to the Chicago Bulls. Rondo and Butler’s headhunting of Wade seems to have paid […]

When the Chicago Bulls decided to trade guard Derrick Rose, they clearly had to make a move to acquire a point guard to lead their team. A couple of days of talking to teams and mulling his options after a very successful, one-year stint with the Sacramento Kings, unrestricted free agent guard Rajon Rondo has […]

It’s crazy to think that one of the best passers in the NBA might be playing for his fourth team in three seasons in 2016-17. Rajon Rondo, who led the league in assists last year, is on the free agent market after finishing his one-year deal with the Sacramento Kings. Previously, he played for the […]

The Sacramento Kings had a lackluster regular season in 2016, finishing 10th overall in the Western Conference (33-49). Although dominant teams like the Golden State Warriors or the San Antonio Spurs would’ve made it impossible for the Kings to flourish in the postseason if they’d even got there, internal problems factored into the team’s poor performances. “As far […]

Rajon Rondo is an extremely intelligent basketball player. He’s been known to predict the opposition’s plays before they even occur. One thing that we learned the other day is that Rondo’s intelligence is not just restricted to the game of basketball. A video came out yesterday of Isiah Thomas and Rondo playing Connect Four together. […]

The Sacramento Kings signed Rajon Rondo to a one-year deal worth $9.5 million this past summer. Considering how poorly he played for the Dallas Mavericks the year prior, there wasn’t too much thought put into the transaction. Many actually thought that it was too risky of a signing for the Kings. As we know, it […]

It looks like the Sacramento Kings will have to pay a little bit more money to keep Seth Curry around. According to Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports, the point guard will opt out of his contract to become a restricted free agent. Curry was due $1 million for the 2016-17 season, but he held a […]
