When the Los Angeles Lakers added Rajon Rondo to their roster, there was some concern as to whether he would accept a role behind Lonzo Ball in the rotation. Rondo is by several accounts one of the NBA’s more headstrong players, and while competition is usually a good thing, you don’t necessarily want it to come at someone as promising as Lonzo Ball’s expense.
Fortunately, Rondo quelled a lot of that concern with some of his first statements having officially signed his Lakers contract.
When asked about Ball, Rondo had this to say in a couple interviews — one with Spectrum SportsNet and the other with Lakers.
