@@AMHoops Honestly it’s so difficult to decide when you have the Celtics and bucks and 76ers controlling the East and the Wild West going crazy but I am a warriors fan so I gotta go with the DUBS in the finals or realistically suns or nuggets I don’t have faith in the kings as this is their first playoffs since 2006 and maybe the clippers or grizzlies can surprise us or the lakers too but I am most excited to see hopefully an insane series of Boston and Bucks in the eastern conference finals hopefully and suns vs warriors on the western conference finals can’t wait for the playoffs predictions video this offseason is gonna go crazy
This man slept in class and still passed even got a different test than the rest of the class and still passed, like what that’s the biggest FU to all teachers 😭
I was a huge Rondo fan, huge, the games with the champion Celtics teams were incredible. Thank you for this clip, it explains a lot about this truly amazing but troubled talent, one of the best guards to ever play in the league.
Rajon needs more respect, man. One of the best and most underrated pure point guards to ever play in the nba. He usually needs to mesh well with the star players and the team. He was essential as floor general in the Lakers with Lebron
Rondo was really good on that bulls team. Don’t forget Bulls were up 2 and 0 against Celtics Isaiah Thomas teams before that thumb injury and then proceeded to get swept without Rondo
Tore up his knee and he fell off. Rondo is one of those dudes that has to play his game and do his thing. Like you literally have to let him do his thing. Sometimes you’re too smart for your own good. Dude used to get like 17 points, 20 rebounds and 20 assists. The issue again with rondo is you have to let him do his thing and trust his ability.
Similar to LeBron - you can have a coach but end of the day if Bron wants to do what he wants he will. Different because LeBron is a once in a generation player but they both excel when they control the game.
Spent an afternoon talking with Rondo's uncle when he was staying in a hotel I was working in during the NCAA tournament. Super nice guy, and always pulled for his nephew afterwards.
Great video! Keep up the good work man. Whenever I get off work it's always a treat to sit down and relax and watch your videos. I really do appreciate that you take your time to make these videos and you're not just trying to do it for a paycheck
I am so grateful for the content bro. Living in India and being a fan of Rondo since 07-08, I had been looking for any content that would give me an update on him this season. He was and is my fav player. Looking forward to coach Rondo in the near future.
Rondo was a better playmaker than Stockton in my opinion. Stockton heavily benefitted from having Malone as a teammate, and likely would not be regarded as a top 5 pointguard if they were not teammates. Rondo’s passes are almost always creative and intelligent; Stockton’s passes were usually just post-passes to Malone from what I’ve seen.
@@peamut547 facts. It was the same pick and roll play between Stockton and Malone. Rondo was actually out here throwing some DIMES. And when I say dimes, I mean DIMES
Man I hated rondo as a player especially since he was a celtic...so its so ironic as a laker fan he helped win us a chip..and really was probably the 3 rd best player on that post season run we had...he forever got my respect for that
Rondo was my first favorite player when i started watching the NBA, absolute genius when he was on it, i believe the Pelicans would have done some damage if he stayed healthy that year
Prime rondo with the garnet/pierce/Allen was insane to watch, skill with the ball like few others and had that attitude you want in a player , on the court atleast. Could score 40 or have 20 assist. 29-13-18 in the playoffs with 3 hall of famers on the team is pretty nasty. Plus how many players can say they won a title with the Celtics and the Lakers 12 yrs apart.
Rondo helping lead the lakers to a championship isn’t no small feat. He orchestrated the offense for the second unit. Him and Lebron thrived together. Also, Rondo has given a ton back to the community. One of the most generous players in the past 10 years.
Never knew bout his off court issues but his on court prowess got me to become a fan so much so that I named my first born after him. My Fave player. Pass first type of PG
I'm pretty young and can only watch a handful of games a year. I watch most playoffs games and the two players with the best vision and feel for the game that I've ever seen are Rondo and Manu. It's like they can bend the flow of the game to their will.
Banger video! This situation reminds me in a weird of Kyrie and his ego, especially after both got traded to Dallas and struggled as well as creating toxic environments. 🔥🔥 video tho
No mention of that pelicans blazers series where he had been getting benched all season then he’s starting in the playoff racking up 20 assists a night in a sweep
Would love to see Rondo find his niche, I think coaching could be his thing, but he is going to be one hard ass coach. Sometimes they are the best ones 🙂
I gotchu with a great example: Zeljko Obradovic is one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time, look him up. Aaand now I wish Rondo would be his assistant for at least a damn month fr xD
His biggest weaknesses were his free throws and the fact that they count assists as a stat. When he started choking on free throws he stopped going to the hole as much which was his greatest strength. Then he started holding the ball too much instead of moving it around so he could pad his assist totals and this was when he had other good playmakers on his team. The team actually had a better record in games Rondo missed for a few seasons. But when he was young and playing with fury he could be the best player on the floor at times. He was a below average shooter but covered for that with his penetration skills early on but when he stopped driving as much and started shooting threes a lot more which he was very average at he became a very average player.
He was my fav player ..he could impact a game in so many ways besides scoring his hands were huge & arms he had some monster triple doubles in the playoffs w Boston
May I ask why you deleted the Patrick Beverly video about him going from “dealer” to “defender”? Was it because of the first Title that people ended up finding Offensive?
He has no fucking balls and immediately bowed to bullshit far left cancel culture the second there was any pressure. I lost a TON of respect for him after that. 🤷
ONE OF THE BEST POINT GUARDS IN BASKETBALL MODERN DAY NBA. THE VIDEO DOESNT TELL THE WHOLE STORY ABOUT RAJON BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS BUT HIS. WHO CARES WHAT PEOPLE THINK. ACCOMPLISHMENTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. LOUISVILLE FOR LIFE. MR BUFORD
@@VVVY777 you can't say his overrated if he has 2 rings. There are so many praised and overrated players right now who're not even made into the finals or even have a ring. Ring is significant in the NBA, if you don't know that.
@@derekhale7706 rings are cool and all but you can’t compare a guy like rondo who won his rings as a number 4-5 option behind a ton of hall of famers and a guy like Nash who had to lead his team to the playoffs every year as the number 1 option. Rondo nver won shit as the number 1 guy on his team and that’s why he’ll never be ranked above Nash, Iverson or Chris Paul sadly, if rings are the only thing that matters then Patrick Mcaw is better than Westbrook and Robert Horry is better than bron. Rondo still a legend and one of the best playmaker of all time tho
Rondos game 2 vs the Heat on the road in 2012 is an all time under rated performance. He had 44 8 10 on 66% FG% and 100% from 3 vs the Lebron and Dwade Heat in their prime after they figured it out. The Refs missed the most blatant foul on a Rondo Drive in OT that ended up being a 5 point swing and if called the Celtics could have won the series in 6 at home. In 2012 Regular season before tearing his ACL he was taking the leap to being the number 1 player but unfortunatley that acl injury took away a little bit of athleticism that made him who he was.
@@manhattannewyork-fr5pd bascially quit on the mavs in the playoffs, u can find it on RUclips, he gave up on the mavs he was getting 8 second violations
It's wild you go back and watch the 2009 playoffs he was basically the best player in the East. KG was hurt, it's a shame bc the Celtics would have been hard to beat that year otherwise
He didn’t fall off. He and Carlisle were a terrible match because Carlisle is a control freak coach. After his stint in Dallas he had success in SAC and New Orleans before helping the Lakers win a title. One of the best pure passers and smartest players ever. He might actually fit the overused term “misunderstood genius”. There’s no need to coach him when he’s out there on the floor. Just let him do his thing. That’s when he’s at his best.
I kinda feel Rondo on the coaching thing he’s actually out there playing and making the play so I feel like if he’s smart enough to know what will work and won’t then trust him
I played with Rajon at Eastern high school and he always had a crap attitude. Yeah he could play but he was hard to talk to and would definitely ignore the coach
You can be the most talented person in your field, but if you have a bad attitude, no one is gonna wanna work with you. Rondo and Cousins are prime examples of it.
He was traded from the Celtics to the Mavs, got into a fight with the coach, then migrated to a bunch of other teams before winning the bubble championship with the lakers, then migrated again to other teams.

I'm not trusting anyone that's looking off & not passing to an open Ray Allen cuz of personal beef.
@@JECZ23 yeah
That's not true. The year after he tore his ACL with the Kings, he dsmn nesr averaged a triple double & he led the league in assists.
Spent an afternoon talking with Rondo's uncle when he was staying in a hotel I was working in during the NCAA tournament. Super nice guy, and always pulled for his nephew afterwards.
Fun Fact: Rajon Rondo is the only player to win an NBA Championship to win with both the Celtics and the Lakers
Actually, he is 1 of 2 players to do that the other is Clyde Lovellete

He was on ESPN today bro doing fine
Oh a video in Saturday? W
hot take: Rondo is the best pure point guard of al =l time. he's exactly what a point guard should be
You know serious ball🫡
Facts
Rondo might be my favorite player of all time. Just really enjoyed watching him grow.
0:24 Rondo was the first to dunk 3 balls at once😂
Rondo being a whiz at geometry on and off the court is some anime stuff
His biggest weaknesses were his free throws and the fact that they count assists as a stat. When he started choking on free throws he stopped going to the hole as much which was his greatest strength.

Love your vids. Been here since you were in san antonio lol. Im from SA.
Nice to see you uploading on the weekend. Love your videos!

They should definitely make a movie of his life and just show how he sees the game visually.
I hope Chris Paul can make a comeback🙏
The most humble down to earth star I ever met
I never knew Rondo could haul in 7 rebounds, damn
He didn’t fall off. He and Carlisle were a terrible match because Carlisle is a control freak coach. After his stint in Dallas he had success in SAC and New Orleans before helping the Lakers win a title.
One of the best pure passers and smartest players ever. He might actually fit the overused term “misunderstood genius”. There’s no need to coach him when he’s out there on the floor. Just let him do his thing. That’s when he’s at his best.
Also… him running around the court, still trying to play, with his broken arm flapping by his side was legendary.
I kinda feel Rondo on the coaching thing he’s actually out there playing and making the play so I feel like if he’s smart enough to know what will work and won’t then trust him
Rondo for Lakers was amazing, in playoff his IQ +LBJ was off records.
Thank you for your commentary
knowing how doc rivers acted after leaving Boston, maybe Rondo wasn't the problem there lol
Great video man keep it up!
Rondo is the definition of what you called 'Psycho'
He’s still one of my favorite floor generals whose very fun to watch play
I miss him, one of my favorite players.
Completely forgot to mention his time with the Kings when he was top 3 guard in the league for several years. Just said he bounced around.
After him and that Rose battle he never been the same
The turtle should make the Hall Of Fame
That was the best NBA mean tweet of all time
He has two rings and still hopping he’s good certified legend
Rondo’s probably the smartest player on the court, which is why he felt that he knew more than everyone else-even coaches.
