According to a report on December 28, Rondo, a Celtic and Lakers celebrity, participated in the show to sing the praises of James. He said that before he joined the Lakers, he knew that if he was teammates with James, he would definitely have a championship. The reason is simple, James is too good and can also qualitatively change teammates, and anyone wants to be teammates with James, except for those players whose logic is not very reasonable. Lillard said: I don't understand why anyone wouldn't want to be teammates with James. Lillard's words represent the league.
Rondo first talked about how he played for both the Celtics and the Lakers, and that he had won and lost to the Lakers, and that he was a celebrity in his own right, though he didn't have his jersey retired. The host asked Rondo if his status as a Celtics legend would prevent him from joining the LakersRondo said no.
There are two reasons for this. The first is that playing ball is work, and he also has to eat. Rondo said that he was actually close to no one back then, but the Lakers' interest in him was very high, so he was moved and agreed to play for the Lakers. Rondo says that while he is loyal to the Celtics, he can't lose it. After all, the Celtics didn't plan to give Rondo a job back then, so he chose the Lakers to work for him, even if the Lakers and the Celtics were rivals.
Another reason is simpler, and that is that the Lakers have James. Rondo and James joined the Lakers in the same year, and the first season was also mired in trade talks, and the second season was won with the team. Rondo said he wasn't working at the time, and he was watching others play at home, thinking that if he and James were teammates, he could win the championship again. James has been in the Finals for many years in a row (eight consecutive years, nine times in ten years, to be specific), which is a capital. Rondo hated James during his time with the Celtics, but he was later completely conquered by James. James did make Rondo win the championship again, as Rondo expected.
