Take a good look at this video clip. Or maybe not, if you're squeamish ...
That's a dislocated elbow right there for the Celtic's All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo.
I winced every time I looked at it. Who could imagine that he would be back 10 minuted later to play the last 12 minutes of the game ? With his left arm hanging by his side ? Essentially catching, dribbling and passing the ball with only his right hand ?
It was a must win game in the playoffs. KG and Pierce had the outstanding performances. But this game will be remembered primarily for the toughness Rondo displayed in returning to the game after that injury.
Just another chapter to add to the Celtics folklore .....
