Rajon Rondo plays in sneakers honoring Boston Marathon bombing victims

The Boston Celtics played their final game Wednesday night, and their first since the one-year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings of April 15, 2013. To honor the bombing victims, Rajon Rondo wore sneakers featuring a tongue decal with “BOSTON STRONG” and the date of the attacks, plus initials of the victims covering the majority of each shoe. He tweeted a photo after the game:
