When otherwise normal people are thrown into the harsh spotlight of celebrity, they respond in one of two ways: some opt to don oversized sunglasses and whimper about “overexposure” and “privacy” as they coyly pose for paparazzi shots prearranged by their publicist; others walk down the street in the middle of the day in the city that worships them, wearing a palette of primary colors.

Against all odds, he manages not to look like an exploding clown. His fiancée and stylist, Ashley Bachelor, raises an eyebrow, but eventually gives an approving nod.

Rondo can pull off this look because, frankly, the only person he’s out to impress is himself. It takes a certain amount of confidence to be a sartorialist, and it’s the kind of moxie Rondo has in excess. He’s the basketball iconoclast who doesn’t dress how you expect or play how you expect.

Rondo learned how to play basketball on the hard courts, with an emphasis on the “hard” — rough-and-tumble street basketball (or streetball), where style counts as much as deadly efficiency on offense.

Red Bull’s King of the Rock international streetball tournament showcases this style of play; after months of qualifiers around the world, the 64 remaining players faced off in one-on-one elimination rounds on Alcatraz. Rondo attended the final again this year, and for the first time, it will be televised on October 22 on CBS at 1:30 p.m. EST.

After reading this small piece of an article, I found out a few things about
Rondo that I did not know that make perfect sense. The first major news is Rondo
is engaged to a stylist. Rondo is very quiet about his personal life so this is
news. The other is Rondo really is a bold dresser. I always thought the
companies he worked for picked out those wild outfits. However, Rondo is a bold
player on the court due to his supreme confidence, so it only makes sense that
same confidence translates off the court into other areas of his life like his
wardrobe.

The small piece is already
chalked with news. I know I will be reading the rest when the issue comes out. If anybody visits this site they can enter for a shot at
