Five showers in one day might seem like a lot to normal people, but it’s one of the reasons why Rondo was always ready to play hard.

When he retired after the 2021-22 season, Rondo had a career average of 9.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 7.9 assists.

He played for multiple teams and won two championships, one with the Boston Celtics and the other with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Even as Rondo got older, he remained one of the toughest players in the league, and he was considered one of the smartest basketball minds in the game.

He moved with authority and intelligence and was always able to find his teammates for amazing passes in the heat of the game.

It seems that his shower schedule is one of the reasons why he was always so fresh, alert, and plugged in.

Every player has their routines they do before games, and Rondo’s may have been the cleanest.
