people say rondo was lucky to have pierce, ray, and kg. but i think they're actually lucky to have him..i mean he makes such smart decisions and his passes only go to where his teammates can get them and away from the defenders' reach
wishing he could get his fg% a bit higher and his ppg a bit higher. but yeah he's still recovering and getting back up there. glad his passing is still in elite form though! also great to see his jumpshots improving considerably from previous seasons
even after an ACL injury he still Greatest point guard ever! 2013-2014 season only played 30 games because of that injury but still got 11.7 points 9.8 asists and 5.5 rebounds? What point guard in the leauge is a walking double-double and a triple-double machine like this dude?
You have to wonder how many assists this Rondo would have gotten in Mike D Antoni's run N gun offense or Brett Brown's speed ball. Speed ball teams tend to inflate assist stats and scoring stats. I'm sure Rondo would have averaged 15+ assists on a D Antoni team.
Outside of a consistent jump shot he's the best point in the league Boston has all bums and he'll still average the same amount of assist he had with the stars on the team The thing I like the most about Rondo is he makes around him better He's has the pass first mentality The same mentality that Russell need to use in his game and he would get the same stats
He's different and that's why he always stands out among other nba players. He's not here to be a superstar but he's here for his team. And that' what a player should be. It's not hollywood it's nba.
Tjm2037 rondo not only led his team to the eastern conference finals but he already has a ring. That's from his second year in the league much better than an MVP rose by far
Sact0wnbidness He is going to be amazing in sac, we have players that are near or at the talent of the talent of the big 3. garnet-boogie pierce-rudy gay ray allen-(bellinelli/mclemore) obviously those two are not on the same level as ray allen was but they are both good shooters, I think we get the 8/7th seed for sure!
+Samuel Omotade comparing Rudy Gay to hall of famer Paul Pierce 😂😂😂. Comparing top 15 players of all time which gave the Celtics the #1 defence in 2007-2008 KG to Boogie who hasn't even got his team to the playoffs 😂😂😂? Give me what you're smoking Bruh
i can quote wikipedia: In basketball, an assist is attributed to a player who passes the ball to a teammate in a way that leads to a score by field goal, meaning that he or she was "assisting" in the basket. There is some judgment involved in deciding whether a passer should be credited with an assist. An assist can be scored for the passer even if the player who receives the pass makes a basket after dribbling the ball.
@Sleepydoughnut very true. Numbers dont lie. Karl Malone IMO was a much more dominante PF. I understand he didnt earn any rings in his time but who did in an era dominated by MJ?
hate it when people bring up triple doubles. Oscar Robertson leads NBA All-Time with 181 career triple doubles(one season averaged a triple double). Only won one title, and on that team he had a guy named Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Rondo is already considered to be on the same level as far as a point guard as CP3 n D-Rose he is actually ranked 2nd best point guard in the NBA after CP3 .. N once his scoring comes in that'll be the past. Because his ability to score is there we saw it with the 45pt game he had against the Heat last year. He just needs to bring it out more often
I couldn't resist myself screaming every amazing pass he's doing.Though he ain't a good shooter, He's incredible for not shooting the ball, passing instead! lol
Greeneight Yh this team had so many star players, just unlucky with injuries. This team and the 2008 one were the best modern day C's. The 2008 team was unstoppable.
He got offered to, but declined it because he would rather take a break and enjoy his summer. I'm tired of people acting like he didn't make it, when he did, he just declined it.
agreed man, WB is almost a point-forward? thunder is a team with alot of hybrids, it works well for them. WB's can turn on his explosiveness to break down the defense's equilibrium over multiple possessions (to his teammates' advantage i suppose, WB himself is not so consistent as you've mentioned).
I would. Are you gonna tell me that I'm high? Rondo controls the game, something that Westbrook and many of the guys you listed have yet to achieve save for Tony Parker.
i like rondo a lot hes a super pg and one of the last true pgs in the league if you ask me. but he has to shoot more cause in reality you can kinda not mark him once he has the bal land pay more attention to the other celtics seeing as hes wayyy more likely to go for an assist than a basket i mean this season hes averaging 11.9 point and 11.7 assists if he had to slightly bump up the scoring easily top 5 best pgs of all time.
+Abigail Weller exactly a point guards job is to pass the ball to the best possible shot option if he can't find one then he is suppose to score. Therefore rondo is still the best.
Nash is definitely one of the greatest PG's of all-time and won back to back MVP's. Incredibly impressive, but I don't think he's a better shooter than Larry Bird, Mark Price, and others...
BY THE END OF HIS CAREER he is working on his jumpshot he is a better defender better passer he is a better rebounder i.e. TRIPLE DOUBLE MACHINE by the end of his career he will go down as the greatest point guard the Nba has ever seen no more arguing
he chooses to enjoy his summers he told the media last year he likes his breaks for example this year he went to the Philippines and France for his training camps and for a Red Bull training camp
people say rondo was lucky to have pierce, ray, and kg. but i think they're actually lucky to have him..i mean he makes such smart decisions and his passes only go to where his teammates can get them and away from the defenders' reach
he've got 18 assist on 2014 season now, what's the excuses?
Pedro Soares He's still recovering from the ACL injury...
wishing he could get his fg% a bit higher and his ppg a bit higher. but yeah he's still recovering and getting back up there. glad his passing is still in elite form though! also great to see his jumpshots improving considerably from previous seasons
what happened to the Celtics record this year?
he avg 10assist this season
10pts 24ast 10reb changes the game without even scoring unlike most pgs in the game now
h point taken!
PREACH
+Its24x i can't even think of anyone who had 20+ assists in a game in NBA history, if there is anyone let me know, cuz that shit is crazy
Juan Rivera have you ever heard of magic jonson?
Juan Rivera Brandon Jennings had a 24 assists game
I miss this squad... Rondo, Ray, Paul, KG, Shaq, Nate, Baby, Perk :/
For most PGs, 20 and 10 means 20 points/10 assists. Not for Rondo. The greatest Assist Man I have ever seen.
Watch Rondo make 4 HOFamers careers last 4 years longer than they should have
Allen left. Pierce left. Kg left. Shaq was on Keep Gettin Them Checks mode
+Hector Popocateptl lol Shaq diesel getting that cash.
start calling him Cash Diesel
On each possession, I was guessing who he might pass to, LOL
It just goes to show how underrated Rondo was back then. Not once during the whole game did they mention his assist total.
listen close at 7:52
Right at the end.
That's all they ever talked about Rondo, all the time dude
I miss this kinda rondo ..
This rondo is coming back
even after an ACL injury he still Greatest point guard ever!
2013-2014 season only played 30 games because of that injury but still got 11.7 points 9.8 asists and 5.5 rebounds?
What point guard in the leauge is a walking double-double and a triple-double machine like this dude?
Chris Paul.
niro710 He's aight but needs up rebound more.
I like Rondo better, and he makes more triple double than cp3 so he's the real deal.
Rondo is great but don't say greatest pg ever lol.
rondo the best pure point no disrespect to paul but rondo does all aspects
chille rasputin Russell Westbrook, the 2017 MVP
You have to wonder how many assists this Rondo would have gotten in Mike D Antoni's run N gun offense or Brett Brown's speed ball. Speed ball teams tend to inflate assist stats and scoring stats. I'm sure Rondo would have averaged 15+ assists on a D Antoni team.
Triple double machine, he is a monster !!
Djordje Velenderic Unfortunately that is Russell Westbrook in he 2016-2017 NBA Season.
Damnnn how fast he talk, thumbs up if u agree !!!
Allann Allan Holy shit, and he has an high pitched voice too
If Rondo only had one arm..... ONE arm, he still would still lead the league in assists.
Outside of a consistent jump shot he's the best point in the league
Boston has all bums and he'll still average the same amount of assist he had with the stars on the team
The thing I like the most about Rondo is he makes around him better
He's has the pass first mentality
The same mentality that Russell need to use in his game and he would get the same stats
Russell would get better stats
If he played more like a point guard
yeah
Haha well now he averaged 31/10/10 on the season on his way to getting the MVP, so yeah he can clearly get them stats if needed
25 now almost 26 but a missed alley oop happened... still great though.
such a good team. they should have not traded perkins.
He's different and that's why he always stands out among other nba players. He's not here to be a superstar but he's here for his team. And that' what a player should be. It's not hollywood it's nba.
Gino time at the end, was anyone else reminiscing to those days with KG loving it!
You gotta love rondo and the Celtics and how humble they are.
Rondo... being awarded for being so awesome :)
Chill, comedy king
Rondo got 25 assists with the Pelicans last year!
Tjm2037 rondo not only led his team to the eastern conference finals but he already has a ring. That's from his second year in the league much better than an MVP rose by far
Glen Davis played really well in this game
I love this guy
Rondo always looks both intense and chill at the same time.
Ramon Rondo is a great playmaker indeed
I was at this game. The Knicks fans in back of me couldn't believe the assists he put up!
Welcome to Sacramento, you heard it here "1st"
Sact0wnbidness He is going to be amazing in sac, we have players that are near or at the talent of the talent of the big 3.
garnet-boogie
pierce-rudy gay
ray allen-(bellinelli/mclemore)
obviously those two are not on the same level as ray allen was but they are both good shooters, I think we get the 8/7th seed for sure!
Samuel Omotade 8 seed will be Pelicans or kings imo
Samuel Omotade Comparing Mclemore and Bellinelli to Ray Allen? Give this guy a manual.
Obviously, they aren't as good ad allen but they are good shooters which will help theta.
+Samuel Omotade comparing Rudy Gay to hall of famer Paul Pierce 😂😂😂. Comparing top 15 players of all time which gave the Celtics the #1 defence in 2007-2008 KG to Boogie who hasn't even got his team to the playoffs 😂😂😂? Give me what you're smoking Bruh
Rondo you are mind Idol.
It is very very amazing assists！
0:18 rondo's like ''i guess ill show em to the crowd''
boston had a really deep bench that season that hinged on perkin's health.
Rondo's a beast.
So glad it wasn't a full ACL tear he will be back sooner then expected
Rondon looked stoked getting that 1st Team All D.
Damn, I really liked this team, especially the team chemistry.
Rondo is awesome
This could have been a big baby highlight film

he will, this upcoming season. wait for how many assists he can rack up with the arsenal he has this season.
oh yeah best point guard in the NBA right now Rajon Rondo!!!
I think Rajon Rondo is the best definition of a PG. I don't see why he isn't on Team USA this year for the Olympics.
I really think we could have won a ring with this roster... Especially, with Shaq and Perk. This season was a complete disaster after all those trade.
Sorry but that was the the coolest pass to I have ever seen and the accuracy was ridiculous!!
aye can everybody give rondo his respect he a good point guard 😊
MONSTER !
He could be the best pizza guy ever, always delivering on time....
Man. The Celtics in their prime. I miss these days.
i love hearing rondo shouting
that starting lineup tho
rondo is a monster
just wow is all i can say
if rondo plays like this tonight, the heat will be in bad shape
Rajon Rondo!!!!
Big baby was working that game!
I miss watching these celtics
@Sleepydoughnut very true. Numbers dont lie. Karl Malone IMO was a much more dominante PF. I understand he didnt earn any rings in his time but who did in an era dominated by MJ?

he will be

N once his scoring comes in that'll be the past. Because his ability to score is there we saw it with the 45pt game he had against the Heat last year. He just needs to bring it out more often
Rondo best pg in the game and I'm a heat fan
4:30 Rondo "Paul you just missed.. you dont get it again"
@omg22221
I totally agree with you, you can compare apples with apples but you can't compare mandarins and oranges
he said he wants to enjoy his summer with family and friends
I couldn't resist myself screaming every amazing pass he's doing.Though he ain't a good shooter, He's incredible for not shooting the ball, passing instead! lol
NBA 2k13 corrupted how I see basketball games now. I always imagine getting awarded teammate grades for assists.
Rajon Rondo #thats the shit I DO like
Of course
If rondo masters his jumper
it'll be even more harder for other point guards in trying to be the best pg in the nba currently
Rondo seem to eat Knicks for lunch on a constant basis! All the triple-doubles!!
What a team, wow.
+Jeevan Gill My favorite was C's of 2010. I loved this team.
Greeneight
Yh this team had so many star players, just unlucky with injuries. This team and the 2008 one were the best modern day C's. The 2008 team was unstoppable.
i like how every time Kevin Garrett is open Boston doesn't even try to get the rebound.
damn why is he so cold hearted about his awards btw the next magic johnson speaking of assists
#9 Rajon Rondo of the Boston Celtics.
He got offered to, but declined it because he would rather take a break and enjoy his summer. I'm tired of people acting like he didn't make it, when he did, he just declined it.
WOW
agreed man, WB is almost a point-forward? thunder is a team with alot of hybrids, it works well for them. WB's can turn on his explosiveness to break down the defense's equilibrium over multiple possessions (to his teammates' advantage i suppose, WB himself is not so consistent as you've mentioned).
I would. Are you gonna tell me that I'm high? Rondo controls the game, something that Westbrook and many of the guys you listed have yet to achieve save for Tony Parker.
I'd pick Rondo over any point guard. He sees the floor like no other PG in the nba
Rondo talks fastttttttt
i like rondo a lot hes a super pg and one of the last true pgs in the league if you ask me. but he has to shoot more cause in reality you can kinda not mark him once he has the bal land pay more attention to the other celtics seeing as hes wayyy more likely to go for an assist than a basket i mean this season hes averaging 11.9 point and 11.7 assists if he had to slightly bump up the scoring easily top 5 best pgs of all time.
man Rondo gotta love to play the Knicks lol
Rajon rondo hes 24 assist rondo the best point gaurd for evver
John Stockton, Magic Johnson, Steve Nash, and Jason Kidd were better. He isn't even the best in the current NBA.
+sonofaballer96 In terms of passing he's the best. Led the league in assists this season soooooo....
+Abigail Weller exactly a point guards job is to pass the ball to the best possible shot option if he can't find one then he is suppose to score. Therefore rondo is still the best.
@2:46 look at that CELTICS LINE UP,DAMN,ALL THEM IN THEIR PRIME AND ADD A 2012 P.O. RONDO,THATS A DYNASTY
Nash is definitely one of the greatest PG's of all-time and won back to back MVP's. Incredibly impressive, but I don't think he's a better shooter than Larry Bird, Mark Price, and others...
Oh god, Gary Tanguay...
Dang he got contributed 50+ points, that's crazy ( 24 assists and his own points)
If Austin Rivers breaks Rondo's ankles....DOC TAKES OUT THE BELT
BY THE END OF HIS CAREER he is working on his jumpshot he is a better defender better passer he is a better rebounder i.e. TRIPLE DOUBLE MACHINE by the end of his career he will go down as the greatest point guard the Nba has ever seen no more arguing
I WAS AT THIS GAME!!
he chooses to enjoy his summers he told the media last year he likes his breaks for example this year he went to the Philippines and France for his training camps and for a Red Bull training camp
At 6:35 Marquis Daniels had the most nonchalant celebration with Big Baby😂
idol rondo
Yes he is im not even gonna argue with you
The thing about Curry having a team he needs to guide means that he gets more playing time, unlike Rondo.
when hes done hell be the best celtic point guard ever
He was asked and went to and went overseas for the 2010 championship but left home and didn't want to go again because he said he needed his summers
"i didn't say he had a beautiful body!" lmao
