My neighbor and I sometimes talk Celtics. Rajon Rondo does the same… which is nice… because his neighbor happens to be Kendrick Perkins.
This morning we had practice at the Garden, so I rode down with Perk. He’s my neighbor so we sometimes ride together. Once I got down to the Garden, I watched some film…then had to do media. After media, I went to practice. Then after practice, I shot behind the back half-court shots with Ray…just having some fun. On the way home me and Perk had an interesting conversation. We started talking about the Celtics/Lakers rivalry and how we were babies the last time the Celtics/Lakers were playing against each other in the Finals
I love Rondo… but reminding me that he and Perk were babies when I was learning to drive just hurts. Rondo’s also showing a little political side in that blog post. Nice Rajon.
Thanks for relaying this story. I hadn’t heard it before and it is some great behind the scenes stuff for the Finals. All you usually get is the filtered stuff and it’s nice to hear about the players outside of their on the court stuff.
For the record, I was 8 the last time the Celtics played the Lakers in the Finals, does that make me a baby?
