QUOTES BY Rajon Rondo


When everyone touches the ball, it gives you energy and life on defense.

That's what I'm a big believer in, giving everyone touches and energy on both ends of the floor.

I don't want to be the hardest working guy in the gym.

When everyone touches the ball, it gives everyone energy, and that translates to the defensive end, where it all starts.

You can consider me stubborn, but I think I'm really intelligent.

Hard work speaks for itself.

There is no place on or off the court for language that disrespects anyone's sexual orientation. That is not who I am or what I believe, and I will strive every day to be a better person.

I can't remember one bad time I had in Boston as far as where I got negative feedback from fans, no matter the first year we lost 18 straight or the following year we won a championship.

One-on-one is different than actually going through picks, hitting the floor, playing 5-on-5, getting back in transition, making quick moves without thinking about it.
