Do Trade Rumors Help Rajon Rondo?
By Amos Barshad at
Here's Kevin Garnett, explaining Rajon Rondo's insane stat line — 18 points! 17 rebounds!! 20 assists!!! — against the New York Knicks, which came in the midst of heavy trade rumors Sunday: “I've been around [enough] him to know when he's motivated and when he's more than motivated. Tonight was one of those nights. The trade talks really is a motivating factor for him. If you know Rondo, he's an 'I'll-show-you' type of person." Here's Rondo himself, after the game: “I think I’ve been playing better since the trade rumors, so keep them going.” And here's the rest of the world (at least according to a condensed Twitter reading): “Ahhhhdhoowhwhwhahhhdkdkaahhhhh!!! Rondo just told Danny Ainge to get off the damn phone!!!”
