Rondo: Garnett went to the hyperbaric oxygen chamber every two hours to recover during the 2008 Finals. He was a training freak.

Recently Rondo was a guest on Giannis Antetokounmpo's podcast "Thanalysis Show", during which he talked about Garnett's story in the 2008 Finals.

"Speaking of Garnett, I remember I was a kid when he came. Now he will send us some video links from that year, and every time I see these videos, my heart surges. He is not only an excellent teammate, but also a good mentor. He likes to tell stories, and he is very good at it. His leadership is very strong, not only through words, but also through actual actions to influence us. For example, he will stay in the gym for a long time Five or six hours, pay attention to diet and hydration, and even during the 2008 Finals, he would go to the hyperbaric oxygen chamber to rest every two hours (to improve muscle hypoxia and accelerate lactic acid clearance). He taught me a lot. As a young player at the time, I was lucky to have such a teammate. There are not many veterans like him in the league who are willing to impart experience selflessly.
