Rajon Rondo: “People don’t know, like, my rookie year, I wanted to get traded. I was calling my agent, calling my high school coach, ‘Man, get me out of here, like this ain’t it.’ I felt like I was doing what I had to do in practice. I wanted to play, and we lost 18 straight that year. So I’m like, ‘Goddamn, like shake something up, do something different.’ Doc told me some things that didn’t come to light, and I was like, ‘Damn, like get me out of here.’ I stayed down, like cream rises to the top. I kept working. I’m at my mom’s house, and I see my name on the TV. It’s like seven names on that [__]. We going to Minnesota. I’m like, ‘Oh yes, get me out of here.’ But I’m like, ‘Damn, Minnesota, ah, but whatever. Don’t worry about it, now I get to play, right?’”
