Its nice to see Payton admits he was proven wrong about Rondo. Nice to see stars chilling and joking around too :wink:

"we chose to pick on [Rondo] because we thought it would light a fire under him..." BS. Just admit you evaluated him wrong. Though it is nice to admit he is playing well now.

I love how Payton is talking like hes an assistant coach or something "Light a fire under him" , first when did it become your job to light a fire to motivate players, second you are a washed up below average commentator that only compares players to himself in the glory days.

You need to remember how tight KG, Pierce, Walker and Doc are with Payton

Pierce and Walker were at Payton's wedding - which is where Peter May reported that Pierce really learned about the KG trade to Boston.. through Toine

Already, 5 people mentioned that Doc or Ainge asked Payton to say these things. I mean come on.. these guys do talk, and Gary Payton has only helped Boston by upsetting Rondo. This is classic Doc Rivers.. calling in a favor.

Yeah I'm not surprised he was doing that to light a fire under Rondo. Payton is still very close with a lot of people in our organization, and even his hate on Rondo seemed very unbelievable because he almost slipped up one time.

I remember one time he was hating on Rondo (said he was one of the worst starting PGs right?), but then he slipped up and said Rondo is a top 10 PG in the league (said that back in like December). All the hate always seemed kind of insincere, but it was still annoying.

KG to Craig Sager:

"you'd get hurt in the street walking around like this"..."you coming with the foreign names; just 'cause it's foreign doesn't mean it's nice, man."

Classic.

It must still bother you that a regular season victory still can't wash that Finals loss taste out of your mouth.

How much did the C's win by in game 6,Kefa? 39 points I believe.... Now that must have been embarassing for laker fans.

GP said "do do" at like the 4 minute mark... that made the interview completely worth it.
