I guess Jefferson fell in the trap that announcers can only say good things about players
I mean it’s annoying, but it’s a national broadcast and these guys are in the business of promoting the players to try and pump up excitement and keep people tuning in, so I get it. Any criticism generally on a national broadcast is pretty benign, it’s just the nature of the business.
I actually thought that whole interaction was really funny because the other guy (Dave Pasch?) was glowing about Rondo and seemed to assume that RJ would have more praise to heap on, and didn’t seem to pick up that RJ was holding back criticism so kept prodding to try and get a good personal story about how amazing playoff Rondo was ultimately leading RJ to say whatever about how he had maturing to do.
Would be great to get RJ, or any of those Mavs, on a podcast where they may be more prone to open up with true thoughts.
