With the NBA in lockout mode, top players in the league, such as Deron Williams, Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant, have talked about playing in Turkey or China. Rajon Rondo, the All-Star point guard for the Boston Celtics, however, may have a longer road back to the hard court. He is recouping from a serious elbow injury that was heard around New England. “Pop! It was loud,” he said a couple of weeks ago during a photo shoot in Boston. “I was in shock, more than anything. It wasn’t a lot of pain, it was shock.”
