Prime Rondo is definitely one of the most underrated players of his time, maybe even all time. Amazing basketball IQ, great defender, top notch facilitator and he’s basically a second coach on the floor. I hope as more time passes, people put more respect on Rondo’s name.

It was said in the video , even at his best he was maybe the third best player on almost all of his years in the league. He tried and failed to be the #1 player on just teams and was not able to make it work . In his prime he was a top point guard in the league but maybe only like 5 seasons and then fell off a bit as the game changed as well. He was a high Q.I player but he also was to smart for his own good at times as well. I really am a fan of Rondo though.

[@SkunkFarmer420]

“We” forget about Rondo because 80% of NBA fans don’t understand basketball. They use scoring a lot of points per game as the only parameter that determines a great player regardless of position. Rajon Rondo is one of the best and smartest point guards to ever play in the NBA

As an unbiased Celtic fan, Rondo was easily one of my favorite point guards from the time he was drafted to he left in like 2014. Aside from his consistency and high IQ playmaking, his playoff peak was easily an all-time great PG, WITHOUT a jumper. I loved his sneaky inside hand layup, i keep that in my bag because of him. 😂

Facts

[@michaelbarnes2126]

I tried to pattern my game after him. One of the 5 greatest passers I’ve personally ever seen. Prime Rondo basically started the trend with young Russ in getting triple doubles consistently. He’s one of the smartest players to ever play the game and his toughness is understated. He finished a game with against the Heatles with a fractured elbow. Put the old Big 3 Celtics on his back at time and took over games. Rondo is a top 20 PG all time

[@DDivZzZ]

Same I tried to be like rondo but I couldn’t dribble so I moved the ball and spot up instead 🥲

[@poisonxdagger6670]

My favorite player as a kid! Seeing him ball out as a young buck in the 2008 playoffs and eventually becoming the face of the c’s as the vets aged was such a journey! Rondo was always a dog!

[@x6King6x]

That hustle play he did against the Magics in the 2010 playoffs where he dove on the floor grab the ball between a players legs, got up and made a layup.

[@AN-qw3qx]

He did it to Jason Williams! He dove for the ball, got up, crossed up JWill, then high off the backboard for the layup. Sweet play

Rajon Rondo is the most underrated point guards of his generation. He helped the Celtics win a championship title with Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. I wonder why the NBA hasn’t sign him with a team right now. He was a flashy guard with his points and assists.

[@enhancedutility266]

Right I'm wondering as well

[@Lante216]

He had a domestic violence case

[@anthonyplanzo1082]

I never have and never will. That 08' squad would not have won a title without him. He ran that show on both ends. And imo that 08' squad will go down as a top 10 all-time team. If not higher. I will never forget that season and the love I have for that entire squad and it wouldn't have been the same without Rajon. If he had a slightly better jumper and more range he'd be talked about as an all-time great pg.

[@uileam161]

I started watching the C’s in the AntWalker-Pierce era….. That ‘08 squad was a case of more than the sum of their parts. But if you’re gonna argue they are one of the better finals teams ever, would you make the same argument about the early 00s Pistons? Those squads are about getting the most out of each player and the roster. Neither truly had unprecedented raw talent on a hitherto unseen level.

[@Bumbuclaht]

If you love the game, then you know what rondo has done to impact the game despite not putting up numbers in the points column. I was always amazed how rondo’s simple passes just seemed to elevate the receiver’s shooting. Rondo knew your spots and knew how you like getting the ball in the pocket. If rondo gave you the ball, 9/10 you have a solid look. Thank you for your contributions to the game #9.

Rondo was a monster. He should be in the HOF.

[@montimiller2743]

Any player that gets at it on both ends of the court always has my vote, and Rondo has always fit that bill of consistency! When he played for the Celts going up against one of my all-time favs(D-Rose)even though he stood no chance at slowing Rose down, Rondo still filled out all the columns in(points/rebounds/assists, 11pts/11rbs/13 asts/along with 6 steals)reminded me a lot of Pippen in his prime in Chicago! I always thought what if K.G. went to the Celtics earlier(like '05)in his career than '08, maybe they might have won more than one chip, because Garnett was at the end of his career in '10(K.G. came into the league in '95)and Rondo was near the beginning! Love the part @(21:37)where a fan thinks Rondo is Chris Paul and Rondo responds so well with "Who are you, who?"

[@Love.hammer999]

Rooted for rondo during the lakers bubble ! Rondo is a go getter!

[@Ezchkn]

I remembered how people only said that he was averaging those numbers and won a championship only bc he had KG, Allen and Pierce. I agree on the championship take, but not on the numbers. He might be the last old school PG with CP3 that performing a high level of basket ball without a proper shooting. He's an all-time underrated PG that average in couple of years Triple doubles performance on regular with ridiculous amount of rebounds and assist. As KG said, he was a man of his own with lot of going on in his head. High basket ball IQ but behaviour problems, ego and injuries got him on the fall after he leaved the Celtics. Still my favorite PG till this day even, i remembered watching as much as i could all his Celtics's games

[@tonysobon4669]

He is a player you had to watch to understand his value since as pointed out if you look at his stats they do not "jump out" . I like Rondo and not bashing him but here we go!!! Rondo at his best was a top Guard in the league and overall was throughout his career a player that teams like having for the post season. To me that is a fair judgement on his career. Something said in the video that also works both ways is he was at his best The third best player on the teams/seasons he won his rings with and throughout his career was never able to be the lead player on a team. Part of it was he looked like he was going to maybe be able to grow into an all-time lists type player but again , he had limits and sometimes was a bit to smart for his own good.

Rondo was one of my favorite Point Guards for a long time. especially when he was on the Celtics. people forget that he only had like 2 bad seasons in his whole NBA career. but even at his best days, Point Guards like CP3 and Derrick Rose where better Point Guards mainly because Rondo COULD'NT play off the ball and because of that, he needed the ball in his hands at all times witch isn't good if you have other stars on your team! and thats why they didn't win more Championships. now imagine Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, Dirk N and Ray Allen all on the same team i there primes. at that time of the NBA they would have won atleast 2 to 3 Rings. but make No Mistake. regardless, Rondo was my Dog back in the day
