A very strict interpretation of the rules (if his hiding was off the court), would be gaining an unfair advantage whilst off the court and be T'd up. Given how funny it was would be a harsh call - no idea what the scores were when this happened!
Rondo directing traffic on defense was beautiful to watch. That was pure art on defense, read everything, and had every possible outcome of what the Hawks were gonna run in his head planned out.
@@Dreamagain11 Korver had to step inside the three point line for the pass, and Rondo was closing out to him before the ball reached his hands. There weren't clear passes to him either. Korver would have less than 2 seconds to step behind the line, turn around, adjust from where he got the ball, and hit the shot with rondo closing out from the front and potentially someone from behind. Also didn't seem the play was designed for him anyway, all in all good job Rondo.
Jason kidd had like 35/15/18 in that game. Dallas came from 18 down in the fourth to win, kidd and bibby both hit 3 straight 3s at the end of the fourth, dallas won in overtime. kidd had a sick alley off the backboard to shawn marion EDIT: kidd had 19/16/17 dirk had 38 ua-cam.com/video/aB8J4jy2qQY/v-deo.html
There's no other play but a 3pt shot. Casspi almost fvcked that one up chasing Bazemore behind. Hence, Collison going after Baze and leaving Korver wide open. Luckily, he missed that pass.
Watch again, at first I honestly thought it was just a trickshot but look at the time. They only have 0.2 seconds possesion and that grandma shot is the only way to possibly make a shot and not flagged on time. If he had tried shooting it the normal way then the ball will stillbe in his hand after 0.2 seca has pass by. It's a very intelligent play
Rondo had great bball IQ, but Kidd just legendary, that last clip was only one of his many clever plays- he even did clever tricks as a coach as well 🤣
Hahaha u guys are goated I just started watching bc the team my family roots for is winning I used to be u… it’s easy to get into if u find a player u wanna follow
Is this kind of like how I don't even watch darts but I would still be able to enjoy a player who gets 180 over and over again and wins them game with a bullseye? ;p
Guys like J. Kidd, Rondo, and Andre Miller have forgotten more about basketball than most NBA players will ever know. Their brains operate on a different level than that of the average pro baller.
Intelligence doesn’t degrade until you get actual mental problems or you age to like past 50 at least, they’re all still young, and would have great intelligence
How in the hell was that a lane violation? Fox has clearly released the ball before moving in for the putback layup. The Wilt rule was players have to keep both their feet planted on the ground DURING the attempt. If you're going to cite a rule, at least get the rule right.
Westbrooks off the back buzzer beater is really crazy because the ball leaves his hand at the exact transition between 0.1 seconds and 0.0 seconds.. you can see lke 10 molecules of air between the ball and his hand, and at the same time see both the 1 and the 0 while they are changing on the shot clock
i learned one thing from this: if ben simmons had a work ethic, hed be one of the best players in the nba edit: i also learned that rajon rondo has a high ass iq
I guess I'm an old-head, but the highest bball IQ move that I ever saw was Magic Johnson getting the ball at the end of a close game and just throwing the ball to the other end of the court while time ran out. If he held onto the ball and got fouled there was a chance he would miss, and the other team could still win. But if no one has possession when the final buzzer sounds, there's nothing the other team can do about it, and a 0% chance of a Lakers loss. He gave up control of possession in order to secure the win. Jordan/Kobe/LeBron would never.
@@BeenBallin_ I remember that series. Game one he told the team “don’t worry about them, they’re finished “. The next game he gets hurt. Could’ve made some noise that year
@@rstreet5537 well he could be Michael Jordan. That seems to be the main argument against him. If he just woke up one day and was MJ, people would finally stfu.

It's crazy how nearly 1/3 of the plays are either from LeBron or against LeBron. Kinda shows how LeBron even elevated the competition, let alone his teammates.
i like the technical foul that Chris Paul got at the end of some game when a player checked into the game without his shirt tucked in. it's a uniform violation - and Paul was awarded a free throw to win/ice the game.
Hiding on the sideline is one thing but hiding behind the opposing coach is just 4d chess😂

then leaves korver wide open the last person on the court you want to give a shot. just fumbled the inbound and bailed the kings/rondo out.

he basically told them to zone.
The best iq play ever is that drink spilled by Jason Kidd

That play by simmons on 4:00 might be a missed call. He caught the ball when he didn't step inside the court yet.

3:27 is a top 5 most satisfying basketball play of all time and I don't even like watching NBA that much
Don’t forget when Jason Kidd was a coach and he told bummed into one of his players with a drink so they had to mop up the floor
Classic lol
didn’t he get fined for that
You’re telling me you made a whole video of clever plays and you don’t have the two time, mr. mvp the joker himself in here even once? Disgraceful.
I was expecting the "untucked jersey" violation that Chris Paul pointed out.
That layup after the football pass was beautiful
I'm so impressed not just by some of these actual passes, but that the second man is always right there to get it on the fly.
6:07 Rondo smart af but why on earth did Darren Collison leave Kyle freaking Korver for Kent Bazemore 35 feet from the basket.
Lol good catch. If Korver catches that he almost certainly scores
That Lonzo Ball play on the half court line is amazing.
Underrated
@@williamdelee1954 yep, risky split decision that not many would consider. Gotta give it up to the Ball brothers.

Block by James
Notice how Rondo shows up so often. He's one of the smartest hoopers ever and would have a great coaching career ahead of him if he wanted to

And for his big jump on the bench when LeBron dunked on Nurkic.
My low basketball iq was making it hard to watch this at a high level.

Cp3 is the smartest
Awesome plays EXCEPT that one Ben Simmons out of bounds play. He’s still standing out of bounds when he touches the ball again.
That "grandma shot" was legendary
There should only have LeBron, Jokic, Rondo, CP3 and Luka's highlights in this video
