Rajon Rondo explains why he considered a trade request as a Celtics rookie

Rajon Rondo established himself as one of the top point guards in Celtics history during his nine seasons in Boston.

Over 527 games with Boston, Rondo won an NBA title (2008), earned four All-Star nods, four All-Defensive Team selections and ranks third in franchise history in steals (990) and fourth in assists (4,474).

But the former All-Star admitted during a recent appearance on JJ Reddick’s “The Old Man and the Three” podcast that he initially wanted to ask for a trade out of Boston in the midst of his rookie year with the team in 2006-07.
