    No one knew for sure that Rajon Rondo was going to show up in Las Vegas this week because he never gave a definite answer as to whether he'd try out for Team USA. Rondo did show up and says he's committed to the squad.

    "I wouldn't be here if I wasn't (100 percent committed)," Rondo told FanHouse on Thursday.

    Rondo says he wasn't sure about trying out for Team USA due to the long 2009-10 season, which ended with the Celtics losing to the Lakers in the Finals.

    "I played in a lot of games," Rondo said. "I played probably more games in a certain stretch than anybody here (with Team USA). So I didn't know if my body would hold up. I play the game in a different style. I hit the floor a lot. I had to make sure my body was healthy and straight. ... There was (the family situation), but everything was cool with the family."
