雖然 Rondo 又再一次按捺不住，而且因而中止了自己連續 37 場 10+ Assists 的紀錄，但或許當你在隊中找到親如兄弟的時候也會動之以情。以下引述轉載自ESPN。
Just go back to Media Day back in September. Asked to explain his bond with Garnett, Rondo noted, "I would probably say Kevin is my closest friend on the team. Kevin always wants to see me do well. From day one, I think my second year, when he first came in, he told me he would be disappointed if I wasn't the MVP of the league one day, if I wasn't considered one of the best point guards one day, so he's always pushed me and expected more out of me than a lot of people did, and he's always showing me how to become a better person each day."
"Whenever I mess up, Kevin's always the one that will tell me, 'You should do this, you should conduct yourself this way, or handle it that way,' so he's kind of like a big brother or mentor, and he's always wanted the best for me, so that's how we kind of gravitated toward each other," said Rondo. "Obviously, off the court we have a lot of things in common. We share the same interest in a lot of things and like I said, he's been kind of like a big brother to me."
