Before it’s time for basketball, it’s time for bacon for two of the biggest stars in the NBA.
Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo was spotted having breakfast with Kobe Bryant in Boston on Thursday morning. After losing to the Washington Wizards on Wednesday to fall to 5-14 on the year, the Los Angeles Lakers will take on the Celtics Friday night at the TD Garden.

Naturally, the site of the two of them grabbing some food together sparked some trade rumors. SI.com’s Chris Mannix reported back in November that the Lakers were planning on making a push to bring Rondo to Los Angeles when he becomes an unrestricted free agent after the season.
While a backcourt featuring Rondo and Bryant is an intriguing dream for Lakers fans, it’s pretty likely this was just two ultra-competitive dudes getting some grub and venting about their losing records this season. Or maybe they just spent the whole time exchanging compliments by calling each other names.
