Rajon Rondo had plenty of rest after sitting out the last two Celtics games (serving a suspension). He used that extra energy to perform well in his first Skills Challenge.
Rondo was second behind San Antonio's Tony Parker at All-Star Saturday night in Orlando. Rondo beat John Wall in a tiebreaker, with the best time of the night (27.5 seconds).
The bounce pass station proved to be his undoing as it took three attempts on his final run, which cost him in the time department (34.6 seconds). Parker came in at 32.8 seconds and Deron Williams was third at 41.4 seconds.
In the first round, Rondo and Wall tied with identical times of 32.8 seconds thus forcing the tiebreaker.
Tomorrow is the 2012 NBA All-Star Game. After all the pregame crap, the "game" will start after 7:30 p.m. on TNT. This will be Rondo's third All-Star Game appearance while Paul Pierce plays in it for the 10th time. They'll be coached by former Boston assistant Tom Thibodeau.
