Rajon Rondo 'Gravitates' Toward DeMarcus Cousins
Posted: Sun Dec 27, 2015 5:26 am
Rajon Rondo is the first player who can relate to the pressure and perceptions DeMarcus Cousins deals with.
Both Rondo and Cousins have been called angry and mercurial.
“He’s a misunderstood kid,” Rondo said. “I think that’s why I gravitate toward him so much. I love what he’s doing.”
Cousins' locker is next to Rondo's.
“I think DeMarcus wants to be a winner, he wants to be on a winning team, he wants to play playoff basketball, and I think his anger and frustration is he doesn’t want to remember the past,” said George Karl. “He wants to forget the past and move into a better future. Any player that’s been on a winning team can tell stories and give situations to a younger player that’s trying to learn, trying to grow.”
