This champion's story will shock you.
Rajon Rondo has played for the Celtics, Bulls, Lakers, and a variety of other teams. However, his tenure with the Dallas Mavericks was the most volatile stop of his career. Now, nearly a decade later, Rondo revealed an untold story from his time with Dallas.
“I had a call with Donny Nelson, Rick Carlisle, and Duffy," Rondo said on FanDuelTV's Run It Back show. "They’re like, Rick doesn’t want to coach you anymore, so we’re going to say your back is hurting and you’re done playing... the narrative was oh he quit on the team, them motherf**kers said Rick doesn't want to coach you, with Donny Nelson on the phone and Bill Duffy."
“That’s why when I go back to Dallas, every time I get boo’d like it’s if I quit on the organization… I’ve never quit on anything in life.”Due to the rough stint with the Mavericks, Rondo was booed anytime he visited Dallas for the rest of his career. It was a narrative he felt was unfair, but decided to take.
