Once Ricky Rubio was lost for the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers knew it would take someone special to take his spot.
They needed a playmaking guard with experience, intelligence and competitive toughness.
Rajon Rondo checked every box.
“He’s one of those guys that you have a ton of respect for, and what you respect most is his mind,” Bickerstaff said. “When you’re watching a guy orchestrate a game as a fan of basketball, that’s what you love to see.
“You love to see a guy be able to dictate and control the game and manipulate a game at all facets. He does that on both ends of the floor. You talk about his edge and his competition level, those are the guys you appreciate and respect the most.”
