NBA Today: Top 5 controversial players in the league right now

#3 Rajon Rondo (Los Angeles Lakers)

Los Angeles Lakers re-signed the controversial Rondo this off-season

Rajon Rondo is one of the most divisive figures among fans and critics alike in recent memory. There is no question about how good Rondo was, but of late, his numbers have been inconsistent, giving his critics a chance to call him out. But one thing that does not seem to stop is the on court controversies he courts.

He had his run-ins while playing for the Boston Celtics, where he fought with Doc Rivers, leading to Rivers leaving to coach the Clippers. He then joined the Dallas Mavericks and had a conflict with head coach Rick Carlisle. He had another controversy with the referee at the Sacramento Kings. He has been on the Chicago Bulls and the New Orleans Pelicans after that, joining the Lakers last season.

Recently, Rondo had a fight with Chris Paul, where it looked like after the verbal altercation with Paul, Rondo spat on the player, leading to a 3 game suspension. Rondo is still a Laker this season, but it seems like the next controversy is never too far away.
