Rajon Rondo proves he can still throw down huge dunks, but needs work sticking the landing

Say what you want about Rajon Rondo, but when he is committed to something, he’s is going to put in as much effort as humanly possible. The Lakers found out the hard way when the Kings guard crossed center court and was already locked in on the rim.

What resulted was a bit of hesitation followed by the monster slam over Ryan Kelly — thanks in part to the Lakers being the defensive saboteurs that they are. Ouch. Somehow that fall was even more thunderous than the slam itself. No worries. Rondo just brushed it aside and went about his day.
