Rajon Rondo gets furious at a fan who mistakes him for Chris Paul.

You are about to see an awkward scene at the very least. Los Angeles Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo went through an unusual situation at a shoe store when an NBA “fan” mistook him for Chris Paul, one of his biggest rivals.

In the video below you can see the surprised expression on Rondo’s face as he listens to the fan addressing him.

Rondo indignantly reacts asking “Who?” And then asks again “Who are you?”

Was this a kind of prank?

In any case, the rivalry between Chris Paul and Rajon Rondo is old and goes back to 2008 when Rondo, even winning the NBA title with the Celtics, did not quite agree to be left out of the USA Olympic team, and saw CP3’s lead the national team to the Olympic gold. But the rivalry really exploded in the following year, when the then Boston Celtics point guard fired a taunt at Chris Paul at the end of a season game:

“I won a ring and you are never gonna win one” – said Rajon Rondo directly to CP3.

Their most recent beef took place in the 2018-2019 season when the Rockets and Lakers met for the third time. Paul accused Rondo of spitting in his face and they both started a punching exchange. The Lakers point guard was suspended for three games and Paul for two.

The feud between the two athletes is old, and few can understand if there is anything in the past between these players, before their careers in NBA, that motivates them so much disgust. Former team-mates, who played with both guards, even predicted that the punch-fight fight was expected. Ironically, both have a somewhat distinctive legacy in the league: Chris Paul has achieved many individual records and is recognized as one of the most talented point guards of his generation. Rajon Rondo was never able to come close to his rival’s talent, but on the other hand, he proved that with hard teamwork he can be the best point guard for a championship contender.
