Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo has parted ways with Reebok and will sign a five-year endorsement deal with Nike.
A Nike announcement is expected in January. Rondo will endorse the No. 1 athletic footwear maker’s products on and off court and may shoot a couple of commercials, he told the Herald yesterday at the launch of Shaw’s Supermarkets’ ninth Spirit of Giving Food Drive.
The third-year Celtic, who already switched to wearing Nike sneakers this season, just came off a two-year contract with Canton-based Reebok, which had been negotiating to re-sign him. “The contract had ended, and both parties decided to go in a different direction,” spokesman Dan Sarro said.
Yep, fresh off of his NBA Championship Ring and his triple-double over the weekend, the former Wildcat and Louisville’s own Rajon Rondo inked a deal with the company that brainwashed us all with Michael Jordan. Only bad thing about this is there will be no more “You Got Rondo’d” commercials from Reebok.
“At guard from Louisville, Kentucky Number Four…RAJON RONDO!!!”

Ro’s the man, good representative for UK. With the triple-double down, quadruple double is next up.
That’s a typo by the way, I don’t call him “Ro”
I do…. now.
