This past summer, we were introduced to being Pitsnoggled and now, thanks to Rebok, we are learning what it means to be Rondo'd. According to the Globe, here is a definition of Rondo:
Moving smoothly between larger objects, being able to remove an object quickly and efficiently, or creating a distraction with a swift change of direction.
This is part of a marketing campaign from Rebok. They will be airing 3 different commercials online and in the Garden during the Finals that feature Jo Jo White, Dee Brown and Vince Wilfork.
The first one shows a small car sliding between two Hummers into a parking spot. The drivers of the Hummers stick their heads out of their cars in disgust. Then White gets out of the small car and says, "Sorry, fellas, you just got Rondo'd." The second ad shows Brown as a dentist, wearing a surgical mask. After pulling a tooth from a satisfied and surprised patient, Brown says, "It's OK. I Rondo'd it. You'll be fine." The last commercial shows Wilfork and some of his teammates watching a game, with one slice of pizza left. Wilfork points out a window and says, "Hey, check it out, a parade!" While they look, Wilfork eats the last slice. A teammate says, "Vince, did you just Rondo my slice?" Another adds, "Dude, we totally got Rondo'd."
I would have to say that Billups got Rondo'd a few times in the ECF. But then again, he also got Perked, not once, but twice! Here is one of my favorite Rondo clips, showing the Knicks being Rondo'd.
