It's still crazy how Rondo was on a few different squads after Boston, I was glad to see him win another chip as well even tho it was on the Lakeshow..
Good class by Rondo to give Rick Carlisle his props after they fell out. They shouldn't have never made that trade to bring Rondo because it wasn't a good fit. That season was Dirk's last good roster to make one more run at a title, and it was wasted
I still remember the fact that Amar'e Stoudemire belonged to the Dallas Mavericks in the 2014-2015 season. He had become a complete role player at that time.
I always loved watching Rondo play... He was different, built different. Ppl dared him to shoot but once he got some confidence he was a force! Great fantastic passer, great defender,and play maker. What he lacked in outside shooting he made up for with "Moxie" so to speak. I remember the first time he ever played a pre season game for the Celtics, his rookie year. Watching it on TV, I believe they were at the Hartford Civic center... And even Tommy Heinsohn immediately began praising the IQ and speed Rondo showcased. Unfortunately, I was unable to follow Rondo's career after he left the Celtics... Being that I didn't have league pass or the time to watch it if I did. But this is a cool lil interview and I'm glad to hear Rajon tryna get into that coaching role eventually. Doc always pushed R.R. to be his best... I'm sure 'Jon will make an impact on whoever he is coaching. He was always kinda quiet as a player, but that just means his mind stays busy... Processing... Turning them gears inside his brain! ⚙️⚙️⚙️
Rondo's time in Dallas was basically Porzingis + Wood scenario. He didn't like how the coach was using him (like porzingis) and he overcalued himself (Wood). In all scenarios it ended up badly. Lol
Imagine trading for Rondo and not letting him do his thing as Championship point Guard...that's like trading for Curry and being like....don't shoot 3's lol yall wasted Rondo's time and talent
@thekhy-life7121 it's like....if you're a good couch you are supposed to be able to coach the individual as well as the team... every player is different... but he wanted Rondo to just fit in the system even though he was there for 2 weeks lol
Its incredible that Rondo despite being an excellent playmaker butted heads with nearly every coach he played under. If he just chose to not be stubborn, he could have been an assistant coach of sorts to all of those teams.
Rondo word comes to mind . " Tenacity " and he stayed on some guys shoes defensively. Great penetrator like Strickland in some regards. And had they both shot 3s better who knows... stubbornness can be a blessing or a curse. But you better be right when stubborn and have the power not to be overruled. Sometimes the thing you are stubborn about needs an elders long view guidance. That's the problem with young men with limited experience they don't get the big picture or won't get out of their comfort zone.
You actually count that Disney bubble championship?😂 let me guess you even believe it was the "hardest" to win as well😂😂 if that's the case then I bet you still leave milk and cookies out for Santa clause too😂😂
Rondo talks like he was t a know it all, yet butts heads with every coach he ever had, AND Rondo never once led a team to an above average offense 😂. One of the most overrated and delusional players ever. Just a dude who thinks he knew better than everyone else but never once was that backed up by results. Rondo the dude who’s a control freak and would over dribble and only pass to get an assist. Never willing to move the ball to manipulate the defense. Had to be an all time infuriating player to coach.
whoever gets to play for rondo in the future as a player and refuses to hear what he has to say will be sent to play in china this guy is special like beyond special like his play transcended times and eras he woulda been a great in any era and that’s rare af he better be a hall of famer dude
this explains the doc problem. he gives players responsibility and allows them to be accountable, which means at the end of the season he lives and dies by the willingness of his players to be accountable. harden and him were never going to work.
Mavs should grab D. Howard and D. Cousins run them 4-6min quarters sub one for the other for 4- 6mins and do that all game throw the rookie in the rotation for a few mins or if needed for foul trouble
I been saying the Dallas Mavericks should grab DeMarcus Cousins bout 3-4years ago after he left golden state & before he had a short stint with the Los Angeles Lakers
Tbh I was kinda upset that didn’t work out .. rondo is in my top 5 pg and dirk top 3 pf in my opinion I honestly thought that pairing was going to be fire .. tbh the 1st round in the playoff game 1 (I forgot who they played) they won game 1 beautifully
I almost said WTF when you said Dirk "PF". U have to make the distinction Power Forward vs. Point Forward for old schoolers like me. I am a Mavs fan and HATE the 'Big German' ain't getting his flowers😮.
people don´t call him out enough ... KG and PP failed Rondo. He came into the league hungry ,he looked at his big bros attitude and decided to match it as a rookie .He became arrogant and big headed while thriving as a great player . They should have humbled him early so that he could learn the lesson before he went to the mavs and other teams . You can´t be a rookie or 2nd year,fighting ray ,screaming at your coach and GM. Post Celtics he wasted years fighting coaches but luckily became a big asset again towards the end
doc was the main reason kg, peepee, ray and rondo basically had to coach themselves; also the reason why they had to go 7 games all the time in their championship run. It forced rondo to grow fast and be a know it all.
You gotta be willing to give up the reigns as a coach if you have Rondo as your pg. Always thought Rondo played solid defense & was a great facilitator. Just surround him with the right pieces & environment like Boston did from 2008-2012 & you'll have a solid team guaranteed. However, i respect Carlisles old school my way or the highway approach & it was just a bad blend with Rondo.
Imagine trading for Rondo and not letting him do his thing as a Championship point Guard...that's like trading for Curry and being like....don't shoot 3's lol yall wasted Rondo's time and talent
Imagine trading for a player that you thought was a champion. And then he quits on your team in the middle of the playoffs because he didn’t like his Coach.
💯 TRUTH. If Rondo would have been able to run the floor as 2 coaches let him, then he would've been able to do more for his team. Rondo always made his teammates BETTER on any team he was on. EGOS (COACHES )in the way,aswell players stats feom some players that he played with. His play making was on point. Oh to the 1st time with the Lakers. Lebron would've have that CHAMPIONSHIP without him. For the most part it was Rondo being the Floor General in the Finals not Lebron. Thats tells you alot. Regular season Lebron wanted the ball majority of the time, but when it came to WINNING A CHAMPIONSHIP RONDO RAN POINT
@@hypercamero2ss474 absolutely true.... some guy was saying rondo was the 8th best player on that team when in reality he was the 3rd best player and crucial to their offense
As a basketball player and influence on your team, not individually, I do t understand why Westbrook is a “guaranteed” first ballot but Rajon isn’t even discussed. But CP3 is guaranteed to make it in? Make it make sense to me
Rondo's talent and time was wasted on the mavs...he literally yelled...." why did you trade for me" because even he wondered wtf was wrong with Rick and yall lol

Looking forward to him being a coach one day!
I can see Rondo and Andre Miller being good coaches
him saying george karl let him call every play then going “we didn’t make the playoffs” shortly after made me chuckle
No, he was doing his job. It was just a lot of drama in the locker room between George in DeMarcus Cousins we forget about that
Let’s wait for the discussion about his run with the Pelicans. That one is legendary.
I love Rondo....coaches gotta understand that he is a beast =)
Rondo in New Orleans was a point guard master class
oh snap, been waiting for questions about his time on the Mavs
Rajon Rondo UNDERRATED NBA CAREER 💯
Rondo's time in Dallas was basically Porzingis + Wood scenario.
He didn't like how the coach was using him (like porzingis) and he overcalued himself (Wood). In all scenarios it ended up badly. Lol
If you allow Rondo to call plays, he leads the league in assists.
But still doesn’t make the right pass.
He has never lead an above average offense. Rondo sucks.
Go watch those games, dude was passing up open layups to get assists. It was weird
