He won two NBA rings: one with the Celtics, the other with the Lakers
Rondo was one of the most complete point guards in the entire NBA. He won two NBA titles. The first with the Boston Celtics in 2008, the other with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020. Last April he decided to retire. His desire is to become a coach. Doc Rivers, his former coach and current head coach in Milwaukee, invited him to work with him at the Bucks.
Rondo’s experience on the field is an important starting point for embarking on a career as a coach. “I’m learning how it works. There is no path. I just want to learn as much as I can,” his clear words reported by ESPN.
“He’s the smartest player I’ve ever coached, and he’s not just smart,” Doc Rivers himself explained. “He knows when he has to say something and when it’s better not to talk. He’s a great team builder. It’s a fun situation and it’s great to have him here with us. Rondo sees everything, he’s a game expert.”
Rondo, 38 years old, made himself completely available to his former coach Doc Rivers. He doesn’t have a specific role within the coaching staff but, as the former point guard himself underlined, “… I’m here to help”. In short, the two-time NBA Champion’s journey to becoming a basketball coach has officially begun.
