CHICAGO — El armador de los Bulls  Rajon Rondo criticó a Dwyane Wade y Jimmy Butler en un desahogo en Instagram por cuestionar el deseo de ganar del equipo.

Rondo respondió un día después de que las estrellas de Chicago no tuvieron pelos en la lengua luego de una dura derrota en Atlanta. 

Aunque no mencionó los nombres de sus compañeros, pareció claro a quienes se refería en el escrito acompañado por una foto de él con sus excompañeros de los Celtics de Boston Kevin Gartnett y Paul Pierce. 

My vets would never go to the media. They would come to the team. My vets didn't pick and choose when they wanted to bring it. They brought it every time they stepped in the gym whether it was practice or a game. They didn't take days off. My vets didn't care about their numbers. My vets played for the team. When we lost, they wouldn't blame us. They took responsibility and got in the gym. They showed the young guys what it meant to work. Even in Boston when we had the best record in the league, if we lost a game, you could hear a pin drop on the bus. They showed us the seriousness of the game. My vets didn't have an influence on the coaching staff. They couldn't change the plan because it didn't work for them. I played under one of the greatest coaches, and he held everyone accountable. It takes 1-15 to win. When you isolate everyone, you can't win consistently. I may be a lot of things, but I'm not a bad teammate. My goal is to pass what I learned along. The young guys work. They show up. They don't deserve blame. If anything is questionable, it's the leadership.

Rondo mencionó a  Garnett  y Pierce como "sus veteranos", diciendo que ellos "nunca irían a los medios".  

Agregó que no se tomaban días libres y no le importaban sus números, además de que le enseñaban a los novatos lo que significaba trabajo. 

Los Bulls están octavos en la Conferencia del Este con marca de 23-24.
