Rajon Rondo is one of the best point guards in NBA history.
The former Kentucky star is most known for his nine-year run with the Boston Celtics.
During that time, he was coached by Doc Rivers for seven seasons.
In a recent interview with Dwyane Wade, Rondo spoke about Rivers.
Rondo: "Doc was on me. He was on me daily. He was tough on me because he had a similar situation where he played with a lot of greats, and he was the guy who had to distribute the ball... Doc gave me the keys. He told the guys, hey, you get the rebound, give him the ball... He elevated me... Those years I had, I was fortunate to play for a coach like Doc."
Celtics fans will likely enjoy hearing about two of their most important pieces in recent franchise history.
Rondo made four straight All-Star Games with Boston (2010-13).
He also helped the team win the 2008 NBA Championship over Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.
