After reviewing the altercation between Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul during and after Sunday's game in Boston between the Celtics and Hornets, the NBA decided not to take disciplinary action against either player.
Neither point guard will receive any type of fine or suspension for the fracas, which boiled over after Rondo incensed Paul by reportedly chiding him that he's won a championship and Paul never will. Earlier in the game, won by the Celtics 97-87, each player received a technical foul for a confrontation under the basket. After the final buzzer, the players exchanged words and had to be separated as the teams left the floor. Paul unsuccessfully tried to enter the Celtics' locker room to continue the discussion, and Hornets coach Byron Scott said he overheard Paul saying, "He's going to respect me as a man."
The Celtics are off to a 6-0 start, while the Hornets are struggling out of the gate with a 2-3 record that has only intensified Paul's frustration.
No punishment for Rondo, Paul

No punishment for Rondo, PaulAgreed...he was the man at UK, but I guess having a punk @$$ leader like KG on your team will make even a 170lbs NBA star into a big douche.

No punishment for Rondo, PaulThis only show why people don't like Rondo.He says "i've won a championship, and you never will"Rondo, you barely did anything to help that team win the championship, Do not brag about something that you barely contributed to

No punishment for Rondo, PaulThey both received a technical foul during play and they argued after the game. No blow were thrown and I happy for both players that no disciplinary action was taken.
