Rajon Rondo could be a little difficult to deal with early in his career. In fact, Rondo admits those days are not completely behind him. In a series of videos released by Red Bull, one of Rondo's marketing partners, the Celtics point guard touched on his relationship with Doc Rivers and how his bond with his coach has grown over the years.

One of the knocks on Rondo has been that he is tough to coach, and he did not dispute that when it was mentioned to him.

“I still am,” Rondo said. “It's not that I'm hard to coach, it's that I may challenge what you say. I know the game myself. I'm out there playing the game, so I may have saw something different versus what you saw from the sidelines, so I'm going to be respectful. I'm going to let the coach talk. Me and Doc talk all the time, just different dialogues, but we've built to that relationship. We've been together for seven years, so if I've got any questions, he pretty much has all the answers, and if he doesn't, he's always honest with me. Like I said, I wouldn't rather play for any other coach.”
