Rondo dismisses report about Carmelo Anthony recruiting him for Knicks

One of the latest eyebrow-raising rumors surround Rajon Rondo tied the Celtics All-Star point guard to New York Knicks star forward Carmelo Anthony.

Steve Smith, who coached both Anthony and Rondo at Oak Hill Academy in Virginia, told USA Today last week that Anthony was “recruiting” Rondo to come play for the Knicks.

Rondo dismissed Smith’s comments. “I haven’t spoken to him. He ain’t contacted me. It’s just rumors.”
