Once upon a time, the two players were teammates on a talented Celtics squad just one year after they faced the Lakers in the 2010 NBA Finals. Interestingly enough, Avery Bradley now joins Rajon Rondo on the Celtics’ most heated rival as the two players look to add (in Rondo’s case a second) NBA championship ring. The two shared a court together in Boston for three and a half seasons before Rondo was traded and developed a close bond as defensive-minded backcourt players.

Beyond just saying that he respects his former teammate, Bradley heaped some incredibly high praise on Rondo according to Laker Nation’s Ron Gutterman. While admitting that Rondo took a backseat during his free agency recruiting and wanted Bradley to make the best decision for his future, he also goes to say that Rondo still ended up being a major reason why he ended up choosing the Lakers.

Bradley went onto elaborate a bit more on just how exactly Rondo’s presence was able to help convince him to take his talents to the Lakers.

“Having the opportunity to not only learn from where he is now in his game, I feel like can benefit me. Not only him but everyone else on our team. There are a lot of guys I’m going to be able to pick up a lot of leadership qualities from. That all helped me make my decision to come here,” Bradley said.

“It wasn’t just because of basketball, it was being able to build myself as a person. I felt like this was a perfect situation. With all the players here, I feel like it’s going to help me become a better person and better basketball player.”
