Rajon Rondo has continued to stay as one of the biggest stories this season because of his polarizing play. On some nights he reminds us of how his high IQ and playmaking abilities make him an important piece to the line up in order to win a championship. On other nights he makes no impact during his time on the court. Jared Dudley says the Lakers will need him to play at a high level to win it all.

One of the Lakers weaknesses this year has been when LeBron James is off the floor. The offense drops off dramatically according to the net efficiency rating which measures how many points a team scores and how many they allow. + 10.7 with him on the court ranking 2nd in the league and - 2.6 with him off the court ranking 22nd in the league.

Your mamba mentality for the day.
One of Kobe Bryant's many achievements on the basketball court came on January 22nd 2006 against the Toronto Raptors. He finished the game with 81 points on 28-of-46 shooting from the field, 7-of-13 from beyond the arc and 18-20 from the free-throw line. He always knew he could do something like this, quote “It’s really a testament to the power of imagination, honestly,” Kobe Bryant told ESPN.com, referring to his 81-point game. “There’s a lot of players who come up now who don’t think 80 points is possible. You think 50, and if you’re really hot — 60. I never had that limit. Ever. I never, ever thought that way. I always thought 80 was possible. I thought 90 was possible. I thought 100 was possible. Always. I think that game is a testament to what happens when you put no ceiling to what you’re capable of doing.” (https://clutchpoints.com/kobe-bryant-legendary-81-point-game-against-raptors/)
