"What has he done?” Rondo asked reporters when giving his take on the C's honoring Thomas any night,
according to Bill Doyle of the Worcester Telegram and Gazette. Reporters then told Rondo about Thomas helping lead the Celtics to the Eastern Conference Finals, to which Rondo replied, “
Oh, that’s what we celebrate around here?”
"This is the Boston Celtics. This isn’t the Phoenix Suns, no disrespect to any other organization, but you don’t hang conference titles. Do we hang going to the conference finals? What do we hang here?”
Rondo continued. And when a reporter replied with the obvious answer to his question (title banners), Rondo decided to shut down any further analysis with a simple, "OK, cool."
