How Rajon Rondo can ruin any game of 2K he plays in!

[@Dom2K]

Im not really sure how people watched this video and got that I was going after Rondo because I couldn't play with him. I thought it was crystal clear that it was my opponents playing with him, not me. I do fine with the '08 Celtics and Rondo, they're just really easy for me to beat because as of now, nobody I've played against that uses '08 Boston has been able to bust this defense. But yeah I'm getting tons of dumb comments saying things about me just not using him correctly when I'm not even the one using him. It wasn't that hard to comprehend lol

[@mickosalanguit9609]

How is the rondo fake pleas made tutorial in nba2k18

[@ProGraMmer562]

People just read a title and get all salty probably didn't even watch the video

[@Dom2K]

JellyOnMyDick Pretty clear a lot of people commented before watching cause I even gave tips at the end on how to beat what I was doing lol Don't know what I expected.

[@jojonation1532]

Dom But playing off ball is like cheating

[@juniornostaw7536]

You explained your strategy like it was absolutely true. Shooting WIDE open threes from the top with rondo is fine. But 2k18 lay ups do make it harder. Cause rondo is suppose to be a beast inside yet nobody makes layups in 2k18

[@maaarcus7227]

1:07 LMAO!! Where are you going (In Chris Smoove's Voice)

[@ishwill2]

Penice Italy give that guy a map

[@dweezy4103]

Ish Will where are youuuuu goin

[@necatiozyakup9058]

Give that guy a manual

[@mercoffaperc607]

necati ozyakup you reach I teach

[@juniornostaw7536]

2k18 controls suck! Like playing on ice! Lmao 😂

[@nuklatskahurtarnimu6608]

Why weren't they able to do this in real life?because almost any NBA player can hit a wide open jumper even rondo.If you look at the game of horse he had with KD he won

[@Dom2K]

nuklatska hurtarnimu Also, Rondo was an amazing finisher. No way you could fall all the way back and expect him to miss a layup, unlike in 2K where light contest cause missed layups.

[@rafelretamal1424]

Dom 2k is awfully unrealistic anyways, just imagine how broken old gen is if the new versions are this bad

[@Dan-iz7qz]

Rafel Retamal old gen 2k has been the same game every year with updated rosters since 2k13 so theres not really much to be broken on it

[@dice-uk8uf]

KD won that Horse game but yeah rondo was hitting almost all his shots

[@SaSpursFan]

The actually did use this in 2012. They let him go off and drop like a 40 point triple doub but they still lost

[@quantumleap4023]

I shoot with Rondo anyways. He'll hit one eventually...

[@Dom2K]

Person who Comments on videos Yeah at some point lol

[@landerhendrickx3522]

Chris Smoove exploits Rondo’s liability every time too!

[@kingfawazxvi3851]

Lander Hendrickx true

[@bamermaid4391]

Rajon Rondo, I play extremely well with. I know Rondo shot to a T so I get green releases with him all the time. So I am almost unbeatable with the 08 Celtics. So I kindly disagree with you. (Still love the vids!!)

[@biasedconfirmations]

Bamermaid basically you gotta learn to play well with Rondo and take open midrange or close shots to force them to cover Rondo.

[@n7pirate742]

Bamermaid same for me 08 Celtics are the best historic teams

[@xXxHolyBigMacxXx]

Or just run 4 out 1 in or 5 out

[@Keezus.]

Play me.

[@braydenboudreaux834]

Bamermaid ur probably the first person to kindly disagree on KZbin

[@jasonjasonson9154]

Rondo is a 2K beast. He is a beast finishing at the rim and with floaters.

[@Mantiime]

Lol, C+ Midrange and D- 3 pointer. Thank You Rajon

[@aiden.viceroy1018]

It's kind of disrespectful that 2K gave Rondo a bad mid-range cuz he was a very good mid-range shooter

[@dkom_13]

equestrain world exactly

[@MichaelGoatJordan]

when has he ever been a good mid range shooter he cant even hit free throws

[@xavierd.3931]

Michael Jordan you must’ve missed the 2008-2013 celtics

[@MichaelGoatJordan]

i just looked at his stats hes a below average shooter from mid range during 2008-2013 as well as his whole career lmaooo also a 60% free throw shooter

[@xavierd.3931]

Michael Jordan The league average is 39.5% from mid range and Rondo shoots 41.3% from mid range

[@edortsoclumsy]

Rajon Rondo was on my older cousins Mycareer team in 2k16. He used to curse when Rajon's AI would do something stupid. 😂

[@OddFluidz]

This nigga sound like RDCWorld 😂 3 signs you are in a black barbershop 😭

[@Dom2K]

Lmfao

[@Jourr3]

OddFluidz facts

[@lovepeacepositivityllc]

omg i was thinking the same thing

[@bootyholesauce6698]

OddFluidz he deadass does, nigga sound constantly bored😂

[@sepmyfor]

Dawg i had problems with RR too but as i played couple of hours with rondo, i got it, u just need to dance with rondo and drive it to the basket with him, and assist too u gonna win games

[@Dom2K]

Two days in a row? Well this is what could happen if I wasn't in school. Anyways, here is how Rondo can ruin absolutely any game he's a part of in 2K, and I also give some tips on how you can circumvent this in case you run into somebody using the same strategy I presented.

Unfortunate because I think Rondo is awesome

[@Issh__hf]

Another issue with that 08 Celtics squad in 2k is that their missing a key chunk of their Team, Eddie house Big Baby and especially Big Perk who was the starting center

[@Thehughesgaming]

What is that camera angle?

[@Grind2Excellence]

Dom Rondo is a crazy finisher with gold dimer

[@ismailabalo-toga5372]

tear dropper from the midrange everytime. problem solved

[@jamescarpenter855]

rondos main weapon for scoring to

[@LeftHookLegend]

Exactly, been saying this.

[@Herosennin]

That's not true. People just dont understand the concept of a team with a player like Rondo. If you play with the Celtics you HAVE TO USE PLAYS just like most teams that dont have prime ball handeler guards. Next to that the way to play with rondo when you dont use plays is to screen untill het get space, show the opponent you are dangerous in the pick & roll and pop with Garnett and he'll instantly break down more which makes Rondo able to float between players surrounding the paint due to his prime ball handeling skills and his great lay up ability, after ofcourse the defense breaks down. When the defense breaks down and in fastbreaks Rondo is the most dangerous PG to have next to Magic as long as you are capable to keep your cool surrounding the paint while watching other players move. People should actually watch the real games of Boston with Rondo to know how to play with that team in 2K. Believe me, if you do, you'll understand.

[@Dom2K]

Larsoboy123 I agree, I mentioned the pick and pop thing. However even with plays, it can be really hard because its easy to intercept passes, but yeah that does at least create movement.

[@prozyy9876]

I agree, Rondo is also a great perimeter defender, can run the fastbreak, pick n roll god, slight mid range if you are familiar with his form.

[@Ganondorf8675309]

If you can't score, it's 4-v-5. You can't win 4-v-5, especially because no one uses bad teams online

[@T0YCHEST]

Yeah i dont pass with A using rondo he is the only player i consistently spam double B he is a serious playmaker

[@Herosennin]

bostonbro2019 Rondo can score since hes great to the basket and almost zero teams in the league has 5 players that can score on the regular. Rondo surrounded by Pierce, Garnett and Ray Allen? Believe me, a set up like that needs a passer and Rondo is the best option for it. I'm in the top tier of online matchups and most of my best teams I use are with paint penetrating PG's. They create completely open shots so easily. Players online always understimate these kinds of PG's leaving tons of open space to work with out of ignorance.

[@bosshoggmoth3295]

There is a simple solution I always use when using the ‘08 C’s... put Scalabrine at PG

[@trillgully2557]

On 2k12 I went and mastered rondo release. People tried to play off him but I swear I used to drop 40 with him and make people quit

[@thirdyangeles8620]

winning with you defending off ball doesnt deserve that respect tho

[@versettiii5145]

I am very happy that you posted two days in a row🙂

[@faddanick]

Hi Dom first of all...BIG UP from Italy! Here in my country basketball is so far the second sport behind football, and on youtube there is no one italian talking so well about the game and the season. About Rondo, yesterday i was playing online against the Pelicans and i have left him extremely open. The result? Ive lost the game and the fucking Rajon was hot like the sun, hitting FIVE three pointers on 8 attemps...sooooo frustrating D:

[@FromcClevelandWithLove]

Nicolò Fadda lol 😂 I hit 3wit rondo

[@CariX0]

Shiiiiiit play against him on hall of fame cpu i guarantee he become a rain maker 💀

[@seans.9524]

What it's like to play with slashers on your team in pro am...

[@shaynehouslin2584]

Sean Sidwell Exactly

[@joshuathomas3381]

Sean Sidwell unfortunately I made the mistakes of making a 6'3 playmaking slasher and this is right they're basically useless in park

[@xDreMack]

Nah just got to know when to use runners and floaters. I smash people with my slasher

[@TommySMKS907]

What camera angle are you playing on its cool

[@chickenmerchant3719]

Normally I don't shoot that much with the PG, and i really like to move the ball, so I find in Rondo a perfect fit for my playstyle, anyways, I see why it can be a liability, but he's really good if you know how to use it

[@504_Isaiah]

I kill it with Rondo in 2k

[@vincetoms]

Whats the camera on though??

[@codtage7208]

THANK YOU Dom expresses everything I think whenever I see Rondo

[@אלוןאילוז-ה7ז]

PLZ SENT YOUR CAMERA SETTINGS:)

[@BigtunaG]

I use the celtics often people try do that same thing and leave rondo open. But as soon as you start setting picks with kg or even pierce the defender ends up giving them way to much space and you can't make up that time lost.

[@thatnativeking1333]

Last year his diamond steal badge was op. Just spam steal and he never gets called and he stole it 99.99% of the time. it feels like they nurfed him this year.

[@andresmontoya9]

I’m actually really good with rondo scoring inside and using pick and rolls. Even if you’re guarding the inside, I can throw alley oops to KG for days!

[@pg-246]

One time I did a fantasy draft I picked Rondo and on a fast break he missed a wide open lay up. I traded him to get a young Eric Bledsoe. This happened in like 2k12 and he was amazing so I’m glad I traded. Never looked at Rondo the same again

[@thomaslewis247]

Bruh this is facts, in my career im on the pelicans with rondo and whenever he's on the court the defense doesn't guard him and the guy that's supposed to always stay close to the paint so I can never drive in.

[@iortizjunior]

Rondo is a really easy player to use. Use pick and roles, pick and pop with KG and Pierce to create space to open up the lane. In mid range Rondo has one of the best floaters so use that in the defense closes up the paint. Also use drive and kick outs for your assists.

[@gntov989]

That happens will almost all traditional point guards. But, they all have good dribble moves, so if you know how to use them then you're good

[@bocachicaTePica]

Trust and believe. Rondo is deadlier than you think. Thats my favorite team and I can recall countless times my opponents would give me all that space when I dribbled up with rondo. At that point, I would stop and pop on the corner of the free throw line. If you have his release down right. He will hit those like it's no tomorrow

[@brennanzoerb3418]

We all just gonna ignore the fact that ray allens shot is broken beyond repair? Even green lights with allen bounce arround the rim like they dont wanna go in.

[@chargerfan7123]

Brennan Zoerb thank you someone finally noticed

[@vsc1988]

Pick and roll/pop is how you play with Rondo. The game’s AI isn’t helping you on 90% of screens you get caught on so can Rondo pulls the mid range or pass to the the roller/popper. Then you either foul Rondo or he passes it. That’s how you win with that team. Rondo mid is okay in this game. Don’t get me wrong he will miss but when your defender see Rondo is 6/10 from the field they’ll step up then you pass it around. Once they get wind that you are doing that go back to the picks. Also you can make Ray Allen or vise versa Paul Pierce run point for a few plays. Then make them start pick and pops or rolls with KG. Rondo is a good rebounder for his position and defender. Either way you don’t need a PG to shoot you can just run picks and win that way. I used to do it all the time with D. Rose and the 2011 Bulls but it’s easier with this Celtics team because if you get stuck you have 3 shooters to give it to.

[@McBeanTheBoxer]

A simple pick and roll and even though the pg. camping on the paint the center will bring his man up

[@sillyweebanimeisforkids3413]

My solution: Go to right side of court and call iso. I'll take the mid range or layup....you're either going to have to defend me closer or give up points on about 50% of my shots

[@BlackBuu]

If your playing with the 08 celtics if hav to use actual plays and pick and rolls to be good with rondo

[@mattyoblobber]

just step forward and hit mid rangers with him if they're stepping off that much or drive until a second defender comes across then pass

[@officerricky4681]

Dude if you play off Rondo just go to the hole with him you got a running start to do a euro step or spin move

[@Dawesome97]

I play Rondo like I play a lot of point guards who have less than an 82 or so 3 point rating and a good inside game. Post up with Rondo on the top of the 3 and shimmy, then post spin. If they sag off the low post to guard you, easy bounce pass. If not you got an open lane for Rondo and if somehow the other teams PG can catch up, just post up down low, 1 or two pump fakes, and easy shot inside cuz Rondo's inside game Is pretty good for a PG

[@reedtheroom9580]

Rondo has a C from 3, he can hit wide open shots. i can get greens with him regularly if he's wide open especially in the corner

[@thatnewpimptrickgangstacli8922]

My favorite team in 2K is the 02 Kings. Virtually unstoppable offense

[@ulyssesperry886]

Back in 2k17, rondo is good for the bench for passing to the shooters

[@franciscogazzaniga5300]

I played against a guy one time that had Rondo’s release spot on and he ended up 6/6 from 3

[@provayne4520]

My 2K doesn't look this good on my tv and I have a 40 inch Sony 1080p guess I gotta get a 4K?

[@andrelovesgoldenoreos]

This is similar to when I play with the thunder and Roberson is wide open

[@iamhexoronii]

That’s why you run plays , picks , and speed up the game tempo , rondo is a good finisher in the game , well for me that is

[@jaysyn5]

You can do the same thing vs the thunder when they have Roberson in

[@killakrazyproduction4245]

A friend of mine crushed me with that team and rondo was on fire and i picked the heat with Ray Allen

[@jamauriporter6711]

[@FoxyChariot]

How did he get the motion blur and the change of possession

that chris smoove “whoever” offense

[@Dom2K]

You probably one of them dudes that suck at user defense but still try to play it

[@Rain-sl2lp]

Dom at least he is trying the people who play on ball defense have some skill at the game and dont exploit stupid shit in 2k

[@ijustholdsquare9251]

Just switch to 5 out make it a iso when you drive it's a 1 on 1 which you should convert if they play help D kick it out.

[@giuseppepulitano9796]

i don't know about 2k18, but in like 2k16 or 15 rondo could actually hit from mid range consistently, and he could also hit smth like one or two threes per game.

[@red_5_going_in373]

I get what you mean but rondo I think is fine. His midrange isn’t that bad like it’s bad but not Kendrick Perkins bad, but rondo is an absolute amazing passer and that is an advantage that can easily win you a game

[@DJJmoneymaka13]

what camera angle and settings do you use

[@RichHomieQuanChi]

Will you be doing videos on defensive settings/strategies etc?

[@Filipe_Gomes10]

Do you rememnber the 3 king of new york? rondo was allways hitting those 3 pointers and double team just didnt work in KG so it was really hard to beat them.

[@meeee500]

You hit It on the nose I feel it’s so hard to play with them because of rondo and its been like that for years now

[@MikeyJFox23]

08 Celtics are my favorite team on 2k hands down. and i can use rondo.

[@joepapi619]

I hit three 3’s with current rondo off the catch and shoot in myleague against my buddy he was PISSED

[@adrian315darklar]

What camera angle do you use?

[@Nothing25568]

I usually use Ray Allen in the point guard role to get around Rondo's poor shooting.

[@davibe2304]

Rondo is valuable just gotta know how to use him I can thrash somebody with 08 Celtics

[@mclark8857]

use the All-time celtics, they're pretty fantastic in the game.

[@kennethhatcher4226]

What are you switching around

[@spriteshownetworkkoc-3165]

The way u playoff rondo is how i play off andre robinson ...i trap whoever has the ball (melo pg russ) nd robinson will shoot it...the game had him shoot nd he was 1-17 from 3 beat okc by 30

[@scottfarrell5492]

Put rondo SG and ray allen PG that's my solution

[@Dom2K]

I've never seen that but I don't think it would work, that would make it even easier to play off of him.

[@justinronaldo4063]

It could, Rondo would run the break, forcing teams to get back in transition, making it perfect for open transition 3s.

[@kevinanthony5296]

Wouldn't matter not hard to stop a break. This is how every 2k game is, if you can't shoot, you are garbage. If is 4 on 5 basketball

[@thuggwaffle8825]

That would make it worse lol

[@ayysleepy7253]

Nigga what

[@whatsthechord2783]

This makes me want to play against you and beat you using the '08 Celtics

[@DJJmoneymaka13]

What camera setting is this?

[@billydonovansgum]

Call an iso with rondo, drive and finish or draw the pick up for the open shot....its simple

[@xBayley]

You playin this on PC?

[@briansanz4325]

Is this on PC or something? Shit looks so clean. U using specific settings?

[@Dom2K]

Nah just Ps4.

[@josephmarksilva7173]

i use pelicans as my main team in 2k18 and i find this video amusing. since i dont really have any problems with playing rondo. the guy has 69 3 point rating in open shots. i drain significantly more 3's with rondo compared to holiday and cunningham who has slighltly better shooting rating than rondo.

[@Niceisright216]

pick and roll is all you need. but I feel where you coming from

[@carmeloanthony7793]

Idk about you but im an absolute monster with rondo i just run pick and rolls and try to almost never get into a half court set i use rondos defense and rebounds to get out into the break with rondo running the break

[@nickgamble280]

I always seem to play well with Rondo and even make some 3s with him he can shoot mid range

[@anfer.sneeze]

What are these camera settings tho?

[@gmac2531]

But bro how are you good if you play computer defense though?

[@cv006]

yo whats that camera angle, that shits nice

[@oglaylow1969]

wait what? is this why i haven’t seen you lately? new page or what? i’m lost lol

[@Duly_bomaye]

Just go as low with rondo as the d will respect then run a pick and roll/fade I guarantee something will open up.

[@newbanbaby]

Wait so Rajon rondo (a slasher) is broken because a game over saturates the shooting mechanic. Yeah it would makes sense that he’s hard to win with.

[@port23jordan]

Damn what's the camera settings?

[@mmmmoooonnnniiiixxxx]

Bro i get buckets with rondo. Floaters layups and when i drive it opens the floor and i dish it to someone. I end up with a stat line of 10pts 14ast 8rbs in a typial game online. If u played that defense and i was controlling rondo u wouldnt be winning.

[@endigjoni4475]

Rajon Rondo hitting endless 3s for me

[@sirblitz5654]

Same with Roberson in OKC

[@SoIcyDan704]

You gotta use pick and roll and create movement and floor spacing. That creates driving lanes and kick out opportunities. #BASKETBALLIQ

[@Dom2K]

Yeah I covered that.

[@gregoryketter2065]

What is the camera on this

[@mertkumak5411]

i think this rondo has C+ ins 3 Point shoot i would just let it fly will go in some

[@nathaniealelam8771]

No disrespect intended but you are playing people with no b-ball knowledge. Quick fix to rondo can’t shoot Eddie house, quick fix to no defense drive and floater or pick and roll(which you did mention) but all in all no way you stop a good 2k player in this manner

[@AMileHiii93]

Just run a HEAVY dose of PnR with Rondo consistently probing the lane.

[@michaelstansberry7192]

Even if rondo or Kendrick Perkins had a 99 three pointer i would still not use them
