"Rajon Rondo wanted revenge so bad, he fastball'd it into Russell Westbrook's face!": 2017 MVP and 2020 champion end the first quarter for the Lakers

 

Lakers teammates Rajon Rondo and Russell Westbrook come up with a hilarious highlight early on against the Kings

 

Russell Westbrook and Rajon Rondo had some serious beef before, which makes it even more surprising that they are getting along so well at the moment.

Both players have reportedly put their best foot forward in forging a relationship together, something not many expected. Rondo even came out and said that the two have a lot in common.

The fact that these two are getting along so well is likely a massive boost in the locker room as well, spreading wholesome vibes throughout the roster.

Despite all that being said though, it seems the two still need just a tad bit more chemistry on the court.

Why do we say that, you ask? Well, allow us to show you.

During this preseason, the Lakers have been trying out a whole host of different lineups. And one of the most prominent ones they tried against Sacramento, was one where both Rajon Rondo and Russell Westbrook were on the court together.

Jokes aside though, this team is only starting to play together, and there is already so much potential.

With all its talent and upside, will this team be the best in the NBA? Will this team win a championship? Or will they crash and burn like many fear?

Seems like we will find the answer to those questions soon enough.
