Rajon Rondo, one step away from becoming head coach of an NBA franchise

A meteoric transition. That's what Rajon Rondo could achieve if he ultimately secures the head coaching position at New Orleans Pelicans. The legendary NBA point guard has undergone a swift transformation and is already among the finalists for this coveted role. He is competing with Ham, Sweeny, and Hetzel.

The Pelicans’ finalists for their head coaching vacancy are Rajon Rondo, Darvin Ham, Sean Sweeney, and Steve Hetzel, per @sam_amick (https://t.co/8xW6zYiZTA).
