Rajon Rondo Throws Some Shade At The Boston Celtics
Rajon Rondo is the Los Angeles Lakers’ newest floor general and one of the few remaining ‘true’ point guards in the league.
I have a very special appreciation for players like Rondo. You know, we see players like Stephen Curry make threes from near half court, we see Russell Westbrook flying through the air and murdering the rim, we see Kyrie Irving score points for fun, but we rarely fully appreciate playmakers and floor generals in the NBA. Rondo has bounced around the league since he left Boston, but he will always provide a special kind of value for anyone who is lucky enough to have his services.
But the ‘bounced around the league since Boston’ part describes it perfectly, as Rondo wasn’t able to shine as much as he did with the Celtics during his other stops. Not with the Mavs, not with the Kings, not with the Bulls and not with the Pelicans.
That’s one of the reasons most people still consider Rondo a Celtics legend, myself included. Rondo has won a championship with the Celtics and fought many tough battles against his current team, the Lakers.
Surprisingly, Rondo now threw a little shade at the Boston Celtics with his latest comments about the Los Angeles Lakers.
Rondo cited Boston as a highlight in his career, but about the overall Lakers organization so far: “Can’t say it’s not the best I’ve ever played for.”
