LeBron James has entered his 22nd season in the NBA. Over his illustrious career, the Los Angeles Lakers legend has shared the court with countless iconic teammates, including Rajon Rondo. Together, they created unforgettable moments in Lakers history, including a pivotal role in securing the 2020 NBA Championship.
Rondo and LeBron’s partnership spanned two seasons, during which they played 88 regular season games together in purple and gold. Their on-court chemistry was a blend of LeBron’s unparalleled versatility and Rondo’s basketball IQ. The duo’s successful run ended when the Lakers traded Rondo to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2022, but the respect between the two has only grown over time.
Recently, Rondo appeared on The Draymond Green Show alongside Baron Davis and reflected on his time with LeBron. When asked what impressed him most about the four-time NBA champion, Rondo didn’t hold back his admiration, especially for LeBron’s dedication to remain fit for the game.
“It was always a hell of a line of respect that we had for each other. I’ve never seen nobody take care of their body like him. He attacks the weight room the way he attacks his on-court and off-court workouts. He’s arguably the greatest player of all time,” Rondo said.
