Celtics guard Rajon Rondo is under fire for skipping the team's trip to Sacramento so he could stay in Los Angeles and celebrate his birthday (though he wasn't scheduled to play in the game). It seems odd to me that the team didn't scold him in private and tell the media that it was an excused absence, but Rondo has also been on the trading block since 2009, so what do I know?
With all this talk of Rondo and partying, I felt compelled to bust out these never-before-seen photos from 2008 of the Celtics guard enjoying a day at the skating rink with some young friends.

Heisman Trophy winner and Florida State outfielder Jameis Winston is trying to make it as a two-sport star and faced off against the Yankees on Tuesday. A little over 20 years ago, a Seminoles quarterback named Charlie Ward also played two sports and eventually carved out a nice NBA career for himself. In this 1992 photo, Ward outruns Warren Sapp during a Seminoles-Hurricanes matchup. For more vintage sports photos, follow the SI Vault on Twitter.
