ESPN feature on Celtics' Rajon Rondo
ESPN has a quite lengthy but interesting feature on Celtics' point guard Rajon Rondo:
Before:
Rivers hauled his supposed floor leader into his office and asked him, "Do you know your teammates hate playing with you?"After:
Rondo displayed no emotion, but his coach's comments left him struggling to breathe.
"The point guard has to be the guy that brings energy to the team," Rivers chided him. "You can't be the guy that sucks it away. Your moodiness is affecting us. Change it."
"He earned our trust," Pierce confirmed. "When you think about it, [his job] is probably a little intimidating. I can't imagine being a second- or third-year player and trying to divvy up the ball between three All-Stars."Jackie MacMullan, ESPN: Rondo fast becoming Celts' leader
