I sure hope someone taught Rondo how to be a leader and better person for his teammates. Rondo has racked up a reputation as a player that teammates do not like, and being tough to coach. Now that he is the only all star on his team for basically the first time in his career, people are wondering how good Rondo really will be. Kevin Garnett thinks he will be fine because he showed him how to be a leader. Hit the jump for more.

Garnett said he showed Rondo how to lead by example. “About leadership. I feel like one of the things I always tried to stress to him is, when you’re a leader, you lead by example. It’s not a lot about what you say, it’s a lot about what you do.”
When asked is Rondo can lead the Celtics back to the top, KG said “Absolutely. I’m sure he’s going to push them to make the team better, and president of basketball operations Danny Ainge is going to do just that. The franchise has always been used to winning. They have a new coach and new system up there, so I’m thinking that’s going to be a plus. I wish them all the best, man. I have no ill will towards anything in Boston.”
At least for the immediate future I have to disagree with KG. New coaching staff, new players, mostly young, I think they will struggle for a couple seasons before working their way back up to the top of the Eastern Conference.
