Rondo's NBA career warrants a discussion for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. The former Kentucky Wildcat was selected 21st overall in the 2006 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns before being traded to the Boston Celtics, where he spent eight seasons and won the 2008 NBA Championship. Since that time, Rondo has played for nine different teams, including the 2020 NBA Champions Los Angeles Lakers.
