Wednesday was a big night for LeBron James, but much of the attention was on Rajon Rondo.
During the final minutes of the Los Angeles Lakers’ matchup against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night, Rondo decided to take a seat courtside, but not on the bench. ESPN’s Mark Jackson said there was “no excuse” for it, but the guard doesn’t see why it’s being talked about now.
“I’ve done it like maybe eight, 10 times this year,” Rondo told ESPN, via Boston.com. “I don’t know why it’s a big deal now.”
Jackson could have been peeved by the move due to the fact that earlier in the game James passed Michael Jordan to take possession of fourth place on the all-time NBA scoring list. But Rondo doesn’t want the attention. In fact, he took to Instagram on Thursday night to post a message saying the attention should be what James accomplished Wednesday despite the 115-99 loss.

Sure, the attention should have been on James and his milestone. But maybe if Rondo just sat on the bench instead of drawing attention to himself by sitting in an empty courtside seat, he wouldn’t need to take to social media to air out his frustrations.
