Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey fired back at Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo after he criticized Chris Paul.

In an interview with ESPN on Tuesday, Rondo ripped Paul multiple times, calling him a "horrible teammate." Rondo also denied spitting on Paul before the pair exchanged punches on Saturday towards the end of the matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets.

Later on Tuesday, Morey responded on Twitter with an image portraying the idiom, "the pot calling the kettle black," suggesting that Rondo is the one who is a bad teammate and that he is hypocritical for criticizing somebody else as a bad teammate.
