Rajon Rondo explained why winning a title with the Lakers is so meaningful
Twelve-plus years after capturing an NBA title as a member of the Celtics in 2008, Rajon Rondo added a second championship to his resume Sunday night – this one with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Rondo became the second player ever to win a championship with both the Celtics and Lakers, joining Clyde Lovellette. He called this one the harder of the two to achieve, given the unusual circumstances and the long hiatus in between his first and second titles.
“It’s been a long time for me,” Rondo told reporters. “To be able to come back and redeem myself and play a big part in this championship is definitely a hell of a feeling, and something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.”
