For those of us that know basketball, Rajon Rondo has seemed like a special player since his rookie season. Since then, he's become a champion, an All-Star, and a soon to be 2-time champ. With all his accomplishments, most analysts continue to consider him an afterthought in "Who's the best point guard?" discussions. Real basketball fans know better.
This, however, is not a "bash the clown shoes wearing analysts" post. This is a little history lesson for the younger fans. See, I grew up during the era of great centers. Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, and of course, Hakeem "the Dream" Olajuwon. "What's this got to do with Rajon Rondo?" you ask. Hakeem Olajuwon is the originator of one of his sickest moves. So, take a trip down memory lane as the okee-doke gets passed down to one of the world's best point guards.

Marquis Teague headed to Kentucky @UKCoachCalipari
For the fourth time in eight days, a recruit of national acclaim has elected to play for John Calipari at Kentucky.
Marquis Teague (Indianapolis), the nation's No. 4 junior, became the latest wunderkind turned Wildcat when he announced his commitment on Thursday. The playmaking point guard picked Kentucky over a list of suitors that included Louisville, Indiana, Cincinnati and Purdue.
Teague, of Pike High in Indianapolis, cited the player-friendly system Calipari employs as a major reason for his decision.
"[Calipari] is going to allow you to play your game," Teague said. "He's going to let you make plays. He's a winning coach and he's got the background to prove it."

Nike Foamposite Lite 2009
For 2009 Nike is looking to continue their Basketball sneaker success of the Nike Hyperdunk with another lightweight shoe, this time featuring Foamposite technology.
The Nike Foamposite Lite has been rocked by a number of players already in our Kicks On Court series, and has even found it’s way onto eBay in some colorways. These kicks seem to share some features with the Air Jordan 2009, like the metallic heel cap area, along with the Foamposite Goodness found in the upcoming Penny 3, but will these stack up against the Nike Hyperdunk on court?
