The Old Man and The Three is BACK! And we have an amazing interview in store for you all. This week, JJ Redick welcomes in Rajon Rondo (The Boston Celtics / Los Angeles Lakers / Chicago Bulls & more). Tommy is at The World Cup supporting Team USA so it's just JJ and Rondo this week. We're psyched to be back so let's get to it!


Topics include: Rondo's first impressions of being JJ Redick's teammate in high school. What those early days with the Celtics were like and why he requested a trade his rookie season. Being teammates with Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. What made Kevin Garnett SUCH an amazing teammate. Why he thinks the game DIFFERENT and what basketball intelligence means to him. Trying to outsmart Brad Stevens and Erik Spoelstra during his time with LeBron James and The Los Angeles Lakers, his injury that signified the end of his time in Boston, what he's learned from coaches like Doc Rivers, Rick Carlisle and George Karl, why he thinks the Dwyane Wade, Rondo, Jimmy Butler Chicago Bulls teams didn't work, feuding with Chris Paul, battling Kobe Bryant and The Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals, how he views his career as a whole and so much more.
