Rajon Rondo Recovering From Ankle Injury by Living Out 10-Year-Old Child’s Dream Life

When you’re 10 years old, the coolest thing you do in any given month is go to some huge arcade with hundreds of video games to choose form.

When you’re 24 years old and you make millions of dollars, the coolest thing you can do is apparently pretty much the same thing.

Rajon Rondo, who injured his ankle last week in New York and is out of action for a couple of weeks, posted the following photo on his Twitter account with this description: “I love my new video game. Still keeping my foot elevated.”

Some deep journalistic digging found that he’s playing H20 Overdrive. Some deeper digging shows that Rondo’s probably having a fun time. And you can bet he’s thankful that it wasn’t his right ankle that was injured.
