Childhood And Highschool  Even though Rondo is now one of the greatest NBA players, it all started on February 22, 1986 when Rondo was born. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky. His mom’s name is Amber Rondo, and he has 3 brothers and a dad that left when he was 7. He was very good at football and probably would have gone very far as a quarterback, but his mom urged him to play basketball instead because it would be easier on his fragile, skinny frame. He attended high school for 3 years at Eastern High and as a junior he averaged a double-double – almost a triple-double with 8 assists, 10 rebounds, and 30 points averaged per game. He played two games where he had 27 assists and one great game where he had 31 assists, which is only 4 away from a //national// record. He broke many records including Jeff McInns single season record for assists. Jeff had 303 assists and Rajon had 494 assists. He was named 7th regional player of the year, was on McDonalds All-American Team, and played in the Jordan Capital Classic Game.
