He’s so underrated. Kids these days act like he’s not good because he couldn’t hit 30 foot shots. He’s an amazing defender and one of the best floor generals ever. He is the definition of one.
Kids these days will never know how insane and crazy this man is. His passing ability is one of the best plus he is great on defense too. One of my favorite players of all time.
@@teteskone41 it's becasue his team was bad, if you're a passer you can only benefit off of good scorers, once kg and pierce got dealt he had no one left, then he bumped all around the league. If he had a good team throughout the 10s he would be an all time great
Four all-star appearances, four all-defensive teams, three assists titles, one steals title, two NBA championships - one where he was pivotal and another where he was very impactful. An amazing career to date.
Agreed but it's sad that injury of his did really set him back when he was doing his thing in his prime he was the best PG in the averaging the most assists in the league in the flashiest of ways imo Rondo will retire a HOF player 🏆

@Kira Morishita no, hawks offered Rondo a better contract so he went their, I'm pretty sure the Lakers actually let go of Howard (didn't offer him a contract) so 76ers took him.
I remember 10 years ago, I got a Rondo jersey for Christmas. Wasn't rooting for the Celtics tho, I was rooting for the Warriors. But I got the jersey because I liked Rondo as a player.

Maybe not the “best” point guard of all time, but definitely a top 3 floor general point guard of all time. the definition of what you look for when you want a point guard. next to point guard in the dictionary, there’s a picture of him.
Just came to watch this highlight reel after watching game 4 of the current Mavericks/Boston game and thought i saw Rondo in the audience behind Dallas bench… i miss watching him play so much.. one of my favorite all time point guards.
For the most part, this vid is fantastic. Missing some plays from his time at the pels and in the last playoffs, but awesome collage of clips nonetheless. Such and underrated player.
One of my all time fave players, named my beloved dog after him, Rondo was insane to watch, so entertaining, loved him, wish the celtics would resign him
I don’t watch basketball. No disrespect to the sport or anything. Just never got into it. Was watching a ding prod video and saw some of Randos highlights. Made me search him on RUclips. Man this dude is electric. What a player. This made me really want to watch more basketball
Should definitely get his number retired in Boston. Multiple times leading the league in assists and steals, made an all star team, won a ring and was the heart of the team for years
I picked no.9 for my high school jersey because of him (even though I’m a PF). My favourite player of all time. The reason I’m a Celtic fan. A true General on court, very high Basketball IQ, probably one of the best passers in the game ever.
He is my fav pg ever. Just knows passing lanes, he may be then best passer and creator ever. Two time champion, he was playing like his Boston self in the Lakers title, would love to see him and Westbrook play together, defense and transition is unguardable

He’ll be an amazing NBA head coach one day. Just like all the other point guard turned head coaches he’s the next great one (Steve Kerr, Jason Kidd, Marc Jackson, Doc Rivers, Steve Nash etc. )

That behind the back fake was so nasty. And it was so effective because he’s an excellent behind-the-back passer too. Really underrated in his prime
ruclips.net/video/IOYvqodDS9E/видео.html
I'm quite sure nobody underestimated him in his prime, he could dominate a game even without scoring. His prime was just too short.
he has so many fakes and counters based of a basic straight-line drive. It's beautiful

I ain’t know rondo could dunk like that. 🥶
He is so underappreciated, and his value is so unnoticed.

I love his game, furious, smart, flashy. He was a key player for both of his championships. Hell of career. HoF. live bless you.
