NBA TV Coins New Nickname for Rondo

New Kings guard Rajon Rondo has only played 10 games with the Sacramento Kings, but is already getting the Nation to take notice.

Following triple-doubles in three of his last four games, Rajon is showcasing the high effort, cerebral team leadership that made him a four-time All-Star.

"Rondo is ballin' out in Sacramento," said NBA TV analyst Steve Smith following a highlight of No. 9 against the Detroit Pistons.

In Smith's weekly #UnderTheRim Top 5 - which highlights exciting plays from the Association that occur below the rim - Rondo's ball fake and smooth reverse layup earned the No. 5 spot.

The NBA TV crew then deemed the Kings point guard "The Yoga Instructor" because of his innate ability to contort his body and finish in traffic.
