@celticsblog From me talking to numerous players around the league.

@vbamz @celticsblog Not biased. Just not as much of a fan of Rondo as many. I’m hardly alone, either. Call some of his former coaches.

During a twitter exchange this morning with Celtics Blog’s Jeff Clark, ESPN’s Jeff Goodman claimed that numerous players around the league will not play alongside Rajon Rondo. No, he did not mention any names.
Goodman’s had a hard-on for Rondo for as long as I can remember. He’s constantly chirping about Rondo’s attitude, taking shots at his game and including him in nearly every trade rumor. It’s clearly personal. And to make it worse, all of Goodman’s shots are sneaky tweets. If I was an editor at ESPN, I would tell Jeff to write me this story ASAP.
Rondo doesn’t have the greatest reputation among the media. But aside from Tubby Smith and Ray Allen, there aren’t many big names who don’t speak glowingly about him as a player/teammate.
KG and Paul Pierce didn’t have to compliment Rondo after leaving Boston, but they did and continue to do so.
Despite many alleged run-ins with Rondo here in Boston, Doc Rivers maintains a more than cordial tone when discussing his former point guard.
Kevin Love and Carmelo Anthony are two mega-stars more than willing to play with Rajon. DeMarcus Cousins just called him the best PG in the league.
Guys might not like playing against Rondo because he’s a fierce competitor, but I bet most would love him as a teammate.
Let it go, Goodman. Whatever happened between you and Rondo, just let it go.
You are embarrassing yourself.
