    After being a popular choice for best point guard in the NBA, it seems the tide has turned on Rajon Rondo, with too many aspects of his not-too-friendly personality (to some at least) have come out and have had their effect on the Boston Celtics over the last 12 months, resulting in the creation of a team that he’s the undoubted best player on, but also one that’s going to lose a lot of games.
