NBA (http://mashable.com/category/nba/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) star Rajon Rondo k**ws firsthand the pain that last year's Boston Marathon bombing (http://mashable.com/category/boston-bombings/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) inflicted upon the city where he plays point guard for the Celtics.

So, before Wednesday night's final game of the Celtics' season, Rondo ho**red bombing victims in a special way — with his sneakers.

The shoes' tongues featured the date of the attack on April 15, 2013, along with the city's subsequent rallying cry, "Boston Strong." Here's a photo Rondo shared on Twitter (http://mashable.com/categor/twitter/?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=) before the game. Read more...
