Rajon Pierre Rondo is an American professional basketball player, currently playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Rondo, a point guard, played two years of collegiate basketball for the Kentucky Wildcats before being selected 21st overall in the 2006 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns and later traded to the Celtics in a draft-day deal. Rondo is a two-time NBA champion, four-time NBA All-Star, and four-time NBA All-Defensive Team selection, including two First Team selections. In 2012, he was named to the All-NBA Third Team.

Rondo was moved to the Dallas Mavericks in December 2014 after 812 seasons with the Celtics. After a turbulent five-month run with the Sacramento Kings, he moved on to the Chicago Bulls in 2016, the New Orleans Pelicans in 2017, and the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018, where he earned his second NBA championship in 2020. Rondo joined the Atlanta Hawks after the season, where he stayed for half a season until being moved to the Los Angeles Clippers for the balance of the season. During the 2021 offseason, Rondo was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies and agreed to a contract buyout to become a free agent. In August 2021, he returned to the Lakers, but in January 2022, he was transferred to the Cavaliers.
