Rajon Rondo Sticks It To The Man

If you have been following the Boston Celtics through the preseason, you might have realized that their star point guard, Rajon Rondo, isn’t donning his trademark upside down headband these days. The owner of the Celtics, Wyc Grousbek, suggests the absence of the upside down headband is due to new rules sanctioned by the NBA that prohibits players from flaunting an upside down logo SportingNews.com reports. An NBA spokesman reportedly confirmed that “updated league uniform rules don’t allow players to flip over headbands with the NBA’s logo stiched in.” YahooSports reports that, a few years ago, the NBA started issuing teams headbands with the NBA logo on them–sort of a constant advertisement as viewers watch their favorite players. It seemed to be a great way to continually staple the image of the NBA logo to minds everywhere (almost literally). Certain players like Rajon Rondo and J.R. Smith reportedly wear their headbands upside down as a sort of “sticking-it-to-the-man” statement.

Classic case of "you wanna fuck me? Well fuck you." Rondo is such a little badass and I think that's what draws me to him the most. He just doesn't give a fuck. He's gonna run the plays that he wants, take the ball to the hole whenever he feels like and if you tell him to he has to wear his headband the right way, well fuck you and here's your headband back.
