Rajon Rondo, a four-time All-Star and two-time NBA champion, has announced that his NBA career is over. Rondo expressed his desire to spend more time with his kids and reflected on his successful career in the league.
"Absolutely," the 38-year-old Rondo said when asked by host Matt Barnes if his NBA career was over."Yeah, I'm done. I can't. I'd rather spend time with my kids." Rondo was a four-time All-Star (2010-13) and two-time NBA champion (2008, 2020), last playing in the NBA in 2022 with the Cleveland Cavaliers."What a time, it was definitely something that I never took for granted when I was in the game," Rondo said.
"I loved every minute of it, and I appreciate the brotherhood that I was able to share and bond and grow with over the years. I've learned so much in this game and it's made me the man who I am today. ... I tell people all the time, this wasn't a dream of mine, it was a goal. I was able to lock in, stay disciplined, I didn't party a lot in college. But it was worth the sacrifice of me getting to where I wanted to be in life." In 957 career regular season games, Rondo averaged 9.8 points, 7.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds per gam
