The Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James says he is excited to have Rajon Rondo re-joined Lakers last summer:

“Rondo’s always helpful for me, just because of his basketball IQ and what he brings to the game. We kind of bounce things off each other all the time, trying to be two quarterbacks on the floor at the same time. When one guy’s in and the other guy’s out, we try to see from the sideline and be like an offensive and defensive coordinator for one another, so that’s always there – no matter what,” James said.

This past season, James averaged 27.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game. Rondo, meanwhile, averaged nine points, five boards and eight assists per contest.
