I know you miss Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo, but consider this highlight video from the Nation of Blue Kentucky basketball blog like Skyping during a long-distance relationship …

• You: “So, what you been up to?”
• Rondo: “Oh, just playing the Dominican national team with a bunch of former Wildcats.”
• You: “Sounds fun. How’s your elbow feeling?”
• Rondo: “Pretty good. I can dribble with my left hand and everything.”
• You: “You know, you really should work on that jump shot of yours.”
• Rondo: “Get off my back. I have been working on it, Ok. I made four of them.”
• You: “Four? Really? You’re kidding, right?”
• Rondo: “Very funny.”
• You: “Anything else going on?”
• Rondo: “Oh, just working on a sweet Euro step. No big deal.”
• You: “So, tell me, when’s this NBA lockout gonna be over, so you can start working again.”
• Rondo: “I’ve told you a million times: I have no idea. I gotta go.”
