Rajon Rondo breaks NBA Record

Bertrob · Post #1 » by **Bertrob** » Wed Nov 14, 2012 12:54 am

Rajon Rondo had a streak of 27 straight games with 10+ assists going until the Bucks game, where he fell short. Those 27 games were tied with John Stockton for the NBA record. But in a shocking revelation, Rondo got awarded an assist they missed in the game, giving him the NBA record with 28 straight.

Rajon Rondo's been given an assist they missed in Milwaukee. That makes 11 for the game and thus a new NBA record 28 straight games of 11+.

Congrats to Rondo!

I thought he only had to get 10 assists to keep the streak alive? Everyone was happy after the game that he reached double digits.

So he needed 11? I am confused.

He was riding on two streaks: at least 10 a game, and 10+ a game.

I was thinking after reading the game thread last night, how important are these streaks to you guy? Or could you care less?

I could care less but more so when it comes to stats like "only player to average more than 13 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists 13 games in a row". I care a hell of a lot more about the win/loss record.

I hate the fact that they don't include the playoffs but still a very impressive feat none the less. Will be in springfield one day for sure.

Wow, so he has 2 streaks going! Rondo is the best PG in the league, period.

Alright I think I get it now. Idk if my reading comprehension is off or what. So He's still got the 10+ assist streak going.

Rondoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I wonder if he would have played the Chicago game differently had he known the 11+ assists streak was still alive

No he hasn't. Yet. You should change the thread title to "Rajon Rondo 10+ Assist Streak Tracker"

Top 5 Streaks
Magic Johnson [1983-1984] 44 games
John Stockton [1989] 37 games
Rajon Rondo (current) 31 games
John Stockton [1992] 29 games
John Stockton [1991] 27 games

That's what I thought.... No wonder I was so confused.

You guys are confusing things. The record he broke was that no one else had ever gotten 11+ assists in 28 straight games (although the streak is obviously over now). He still has the 10+ assist streak going and yes he hasn't beaten Magic's record for that just yet. Two different streaks.
