New York

I'm in the airport in NY right now...thought I would drop yall a few lines. I haven't been doing much lately-just working out really. I came to New York last night to do this appearance at the NBA 2K9 launch. It was good. Me and KG played against each other, and I won. But, I ended up losing in the finals to Andre Iguodala. O...I met Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world, and I told him I could beat him. After the launch, I went to dinner with my publicist. We ended up eating at STK, and we killed it. I'm on my way back to Boston. Training camp starts next week. I'm excited to get the season under way. I feel like I've been waiting for the season to start for a long time now. I'm just ready to start playing again. I will give yall updates next week during training camp, but for now, I'll holla!

Hey mayn... I keep telling people that you got that Tony Parker thing going on, 'cept you can dunk on people. Right now they think I'm crazy, but I see you as a future all-star if you keep working hard, improving, and staying healthy, and being aggressive. I'm actually AMPED to see what you do this year. peace.... Keep making my Celtic jersey's look good.

  you need to stop the excuses...Boston would have swept you if we weren't 75% healthy...Rajon, Perk, and Pierceweren't 100% if you play that card...and true Hoop fans know that, so that negates big bad Bynum...we in Boston have mostly laughed at your LA excuse-making and whining since your team was SHELLACKED by BOS...That's fact!...and also, this is why Celtics fans really don't talk crap, we let LA do it...even Kobe said that was the best Team-defense he's played against...that's why we wasted LA last year, ONE REASON, the ability to play #1 Defense, Championship DEFENSE...and who knows what will happen this year, but seeing all you whiner Laker Fans since June, you better hope your LA Lakers WALK THE WALK PUNK!...Punk in the sense you dog an athlete on his own thread...nothing but Whiners in your city...time will tell, the East is just a hair less strong now than West...I, and we C's Fans can only listen to so much WALK THE WALK Smack...you better hope your Bynum and gang back up your 09' crown most of you predicted, cuz we in BOS will be all over you like stink on Hollywood S***...oh yeah RAJO, good luck and prosperity to you and crew as you head to Newport for TCamp!

Hi Rajon, whats good. Glad to hear from you. Hope that you enjoyed your time in NY but back to Boston you come and I am excited. Cant wait for Oct 17th & 19th preseason games, hope to see you up close and personal; I cannot forget about Oct 28th, let's get it. Opening night is going to be off the hook.
Anyhow, good luck at training camp, wish you the best.
Luv 1 of ur biggest and truest fans. Holla
Diamond09
And for you none knowing how to read/comprehend what ur reading, wanna be fans Rajon mentioned above in his blog that he met Usain Bolt and told him that he could/will beat him. Not that he beat him in a game or race. Re-read the blog and you will see that he mentioned beating KG.
I will agree with Rajon, both of you are quick, have a lot of speed but I put my money on RAJON!!!!!!

hey rajon i live outside of louisville in west point. i'm a kentucky fan even though it's hard to be right now and followed you since then, you are a bad man...future hall of famer for sure.

From boston.com: General manager Danny Ainge said yesterday that the $2.09 million team option on Rondo for the 2009-10 season will be exercised before this season. Rondo and his agent, Bill Duffy, said they are happy about the decision and they are hoping to ink a long-term deal next summer.
CONGRATULATIONS!! Hope you'll be a Celtic for a long long time to come. Looking good in the preseason. So great to be watching basketball again.
