Kevin Garnett rushed to the defense of Rajon Rondo in the all-out war of words that has consumed the Chicago Bulls.
Garnett was careful to say that he doesn't personally know anyone outside of Rondo and Dwyane Wade in Chicago's locker room, but he stressed the need for leaders to keep problems in-house instead of talking to the media.
"Seems like they're having troubles in the locker room. Whatever goes on in the team needs to stay in the locker room, we talk about the locker room being sacred, it needs to stay sacred," Garnett said on TNT's Area 21.
If you want results, I go to you as a player, I go to you as a teammate and say to you whatever my concerns are and then we work towards the solution."
Rondo put Chicago's leaders - Wade and Jimmy Butler - on blast in a lengthy Instagram post featuring a picture of when he was a young player behind Garnett and Paul Pierce. Rondo opened his rant with, "My vets would never go to the media."
