BILL RUSSELL AWARD FOR CELTICS PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Another simple Award. The Celtics' best player in the 2010 calendar year wins this one. The nominees...

Paul Pierce - SF
Kevin Garnett - PF
Rajon Rondo - PG

And the winner is...

Rajon Rondo



The guy makes plays. He's averaging 13.5 assists per game this season, which tops the NBA, by nearly 3 assists per game. He's the reason Ray Allen gets open looks. He's the reason the Celtics get contributions from so many other guys. He's not the Tom Brady of the Celtics, more like the Drew Brees. He's developed from a young, raw talent into a legit NBA star.
