VIDEO: Rajon Rondo surprises Grizzlies with put-back jam

Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports

Rajon Rondo entered play Tuesday with just one dunk on the season. The Memphis Grizzlies won't soon forget his second.

Rondo, who didn't dunk at all in 30 games a season ago, surprised the Grizzlies in the first quarter Tuesday, driving baseline to throw down a one-handed put-back jam while several Memphis jerseys remained still, watching.

The Dallas Mavericks point guard apparently still has his pre-ACL injury athleticism. Always one of the better offensive rebounders at his position, opponents should probably be aware enough of Rondo to put a body on him when a shot goes up.

This probably won't be a regular thing, but it's fun to see Rondo, a known commodity, shock us with some acrobatics. Even if it may have been offensive cylinder interference (shhh).
