They were rivals once, Rajon Rondo and LeBron James. Rondo was in Boston. James was in Cleveland and Miami. Their paths would cross most every year in the playoffs, an annual placing of a thorn in one another’s side.
James may have had different words to describe Rondo them.
These days, however, the words James uses when speaking of the Los Angeles Lakers’ backup point guard include cerebral and determined. And that approach -- smart and tough -- has Rondo on the doorstep of a most exclusive club.
Rondo helped the Boston Celtics win their 17th NBA championship. He’s on the brink of being part of title No. 17 for the Lakers as well, something that could come as early as Friday night when they take on the Miami Heat in Game 5 of these NBA Finals. The Lakers lead the series 3-1.
“I won at (22) years old, and now being 34, it’s a completely different experience, and understanding that this doesn’t come often or annually,” Rondo said earlier in the series. “Being back here over a decade later is a very humbling experience.”
