Rajon Rondo was not lying about the Clippers locker room incident
What is really amazing about this story at the time was Chris Paul, James Harden and Trevor Ariza reportedly tried to confront Austin Rivers who is now in Houston playing for the Rockets. It was no secret that Paul was not happy about the perceived nepotism of current head coach and former head of basketball operations Doc Rivers.
It was also rumored that Chris Paul and Blake Griffin‘s relationship had soured by the time Paul made his exit. Both scenarios may have played a part in Chris Paul making his way to Houston.
On the night the Rockets played the Clippers, there were fireworks. But to this day, the way the NBA on TNT staff dealt with it was classic.
It was so funny that it was made into a cartoon.
With Chris Paul allegedly trying to confront former teammates, it does make you wonder if Chris Paul is a good teammate or not.
Kenyon Martin already stated his feelings on the subject. Glen “Big Baby” Davis called him a bad teammate as well. But Gerald Green called Chris Paul a great teammate after Rajon Rondo’s comments.
Gerald Green, now an 11-year veteran with 8 NBA stops, on @CP3 as a teammate:

“Chris [Paul] is an awesome teammate. I’ve had a lot of bad teammates before, because I had bounced around, and Chris is probably one of my best teammates that I’ve ever had on a team.” #Rockets pic.twitter.com/3Xcx4TvhDt
Look Rajon Rondo definitely makes a point here. But in the court of Lake Show Life, let’s do a cross-examination.
