Larry Bird Praises from Afar Rondo, Ainge
“Yeah, I appreciate the hell out of him (Rajon Rondo),” (Larry) Bird said. “I don’t know him at all, but in the playoffs he’s showed that he’s one of the better players in our league. It’s unfortunate he got hurt (Rondo returned in January from a torn ACL), but he’s amazing to watch.
“To be able to defend and make plays for other guys, that’s big. He makes a lot of players that are not really good look pretty damn good. And that’s a key.
“If you can make people around you better, it makes you one of the top players in our league.”
As for (Danny) Ainge, Bird continued to offer praise.
“Danny’s really good at this,” he said. “Danny knows what he’s doing. He’s one of the best in the league. He spends a lot of time on it, and he’s got a lot of good help. I’m sure he’ll be fine.
