Rondo: Without self-discipline, you wouldn't have played for so many years, and many people in the team still have a lot of fuel tanks left

Lakers guard Rajan Rondo was interviewed today.

Regarding the outside world's doubts that the Lakers are too old, Rondo said: "I am looking forward to this, I expect those who gossip to claim that age will be an issue for us, but obviously if you are not disciplined enough, you will not have a long career in the league." We have too many players, of course I just said Trevo (Ariza), he's been in the league for 17 years, Dwight (Howard) for 18 years, LeBron for 19 years, so we have a lot of experienced players in games, but there's a reason they've been able to play in the league at this level for so many years. So I'm not worried about anything at all, or worrying about skeptics saying age has an impact, and I think the mind is the big reason we're going to win this season. ”

Asked if being in a championship team would make him feel refreshed, Rondo said: "Of course. I'm one of the most competitive players in the league and I love winning. Now we have a chance to win the championship, at the beginning of the training camp, there are only a few teams to say so, and this year we are one of them. I'm looking forward to that, and I want to prove that people are wrong, that age doesn't make a difference, that many people in the team have a lot of fuel left in the tank, and we want to counter every probability and complete the task. ”
