Rondo is a championship point guard. He just doesn't have a championship team. This became evident when the celtics battled the heat to game 7 in 2012. That was an awesome series.
The Celtics were my favorite team for several years up until Ray left, they had so many good players those 4 or so years. Rondo, Allen, Pierce, KD, Shaq, Perkins, Sheed, Nate Robinson etc, they were so much fun to watch.
Rondo's stats per 36 minutes: 12.6ppg, 5.9rpg, 10.6apg. The only thing he REALLY needs is to be healthy and in rythym,but allstar teammates would also help.
2:57 - 3:13 will be my favorite part of this entire season..Glad to see KG goofing off with Rondo still. Miss The Truth and The Big Ticket…Wish Danny Ainge wasn't so money ignorant and greedy, wishing us to fail so we can get better players in. He should've just let Paul and KG retire in green, and then move on….Cut it way too early..
It wasn't so much about getting bad to get good 'tanking', it was more about not letting KG and Paul go through a rebuild, and sending them to a potential contender, because they deserved another shit at the chip
That wasn't it at all….Danny Ainge started the rebuild early. Even said it in a press conference. He was even considering trading Rondo because he knew his competitiveness wouldn't allow them to have an atrocious record. He sent Paul and KG away trying to get something if anything (We got nothing for the trade) for them before they retired. He's a god awful GM, he has no idea about Celtic pride regardless that he played for us. I cannot stand him.
What Ainge did was a very rational decision, 3 draft picks+a ton of bad contracts is worth much more than 2 very old HOFs + a Jason Terry, considering the value of draft picks in today's league. Look how bad Brooklyn is now, fighting for a mid tier playoff spot with virtually no championship hope while having already mortgaged their future to the Celtics. At least we know that the current mediocrity is temporary and we will be back to dominating the league in a few years given our crop of young talent and stash of draft picks. The only sad thing is seeing KG and Pierce in Brooklyn colors. :(
Yea but man, those draft picks are sooooooo late….2nd and 3rd round!? I would've been fine if they were mid 1st…..Ya know? But I see where you're coming from. I just wish they could've retired in green. Hopefully they can get a little contract to come back and play at least one more game at The Garden….It just won't be the same though if they hadn't been traded...
Hopefully Brooklyn will be crap in a few years( as their stars age) and we get good picks. Think of it this way, if The Truth and The Big Ticket were still here, we would be fighting for a low playoff spot, which is No Man's Land. Currently, we are in a good position for a good first round pick, with players like Sullinger and Bradley developing nicely, in a few years we will have cap space, young talent and draft picks. Sounds familiar? 2007-2008? Allen? KG? Remember the situation then?
What I don't get is how a 6'1 PG coming off of an ACL injury causing him to miss almost a full year can average more rebounds than Jeff Green who is one of the most explosive players in all of the NBA. Sometimes it looks like he's not really trying hard enough, if he really gave some effort he could be a top SF in the league and an all-star for years to come.
That Brooklyn team looked real Nasty on paper I forgot they had Livingston for a second. But I'm still upset they broke up my Celtics man 😣😣😣. Then my hometown squad gets Rondo and fucks up too. 😬😬😡😡. Rondo still a beast
AW KG SET THE SCREEN FOR RONDO- HaHaHa, LET RONDO GO! YOU NO KG COULD HAVE BLOCKED RONDO SHOT LOVE THESE 2 DUO'S, EVEN IF THEY'RE ON OPPOSITE TEAMS KG AND RONDO
Are you actually happy with that...I'm a die hard bulls fan and I see Rando as a true point guard in the league passing and scoring with highs and lows. But he lets his emotions out to much an u don't think he is a good combo with wade and Butler. Thats just me though I feel like this season we will have a hard time if he doesn't control his emotions.... ALSO we have a new coach which is another foolish decision by our dumb ass GM
The Truth Wow, you're mature learn how to understand a opinion child. Plus the season hasn't started so I could be wrong, but you look and sound like a dumbass.
The Truth You're a idiot it's official, i was questioning whether rondo would preform well with the bulls. I don't know if you know this but he tends to let his attitude get out of hand. Also he has given up on two teams, aka Mavericks, and Kings. If you are a bulls fan which (I highly doubt) you would worry like I am. Bulls having a new superstar D.Wade even in his old age may or may not perform well with Butler, wade did it once I'm not worried. But Rondo has a hard time sharing fame it took Celtics a bit to get cooking. But Bulls will do to what it takes to win coming up short against Cavs seeing how bull are one of the few teams to contest them. You sir, are a idiot simple as that. You are a rondo fan that's obvious you want him to have a good season not the team he is on. You are seeing this through fanboy goggles which is ok i do it sometimes as well. But see the whole picture it can be beautiful not one spec of a paint stroke on it
Overall good game but those 6 TOs just stick out like a sore thumb. I guess that won't be for long though because Kobe was averaging a high number of turnovers this season aswell, that means it's normal.
and Rose it's just getting use to moving back at that pace and getting comfortable with the game again something that no amount of practice can prepare you for
Marantzdv yeah it pretty much applies to anything and certainly with any sports because I to played ball, boxed, and tennis and I tell you, you find out quick why you needed so much preparation hell if not everybody would be like Alan Iverson "we talking bout practice, not a game practice" lol
AngelDMR 38yo KG and 37yo PP and lost in 2nd round against A stacked Heat(lost to an old spurs)....not a bad run for me....cavs 2018 roster with Drose, Dwade, Jeff Green, IT,JR smith, KLove, Thompson plus other good role players and then trade half the team in the middle of the season when they stacking up on a loss sounds like a bust to me.

I dont know what yall say but Kg and Rondo will always be brothers
That KG and Rondo Moment Is Special. Let's Go Celtics
Rondo is a championship point guard. He just doesn't have a championship team. This became evident when the celtics battled the heat to game 7 in 2012. That was an awesome series.
This aged well
And now he got a championship team!
@@Fitnesspapaya righttt
Now he have 2 rings
just love how KG and Rondo still bond...I think both have the utmost respect for each other and were more like brothers than just teammates
It's nice to see KG and Rondo having fun out there on the court.
Who's here after Rajon Rondo won the championship with the Lakers?
only his 5th game back and almost has a triple double
Rondo's getting back into form!
The Celtics were my favorite team for several years up until Ray left, they had so many good players those 4 or so years. Rondo, Allen, Pierce, KD, Shaq, Perkins, Sheed, Nate Robinson etc, they were so much fun to watch.
3:06 lol : ) Friends for life : )
All I came for
It feels awkward to see KG and Pierce playing against the C's
Miss you KG and Paul forever Celtics
The real big 3 right here :') the part with KG and Rondo always makes me reminisce
Hi Mom Yeah, me too. Love those two cats.
That's cruel. To play his former teammates, and you can tell how close they are/were.
That was a rough season as a Celtics fan.
Love that group man so many memorable moments
rondo stats would be back to normal if he can get allstars...his Assist would be crazy
he averaged 11 9 and like 4 by the end of the season
Rondo's stats per 36 minutes: 12.6ppg, 5.9rpg, 10.6apg. The only thing he REALLY needs is to be healthy and in rythym,but allstar teammates would also help.
Speaking from a Laker fan I must say I had nothing but respect for kg rondo n all of those group of guys
Even as a lakers fan it was sad to see 2P and KG having to go.
2:57 - 3:13 will be my favorite part of this entire season..Glad to see KG goofing off with Rondo still.

Celtic for life
As a Boston fan I remember being pissed about this trade, little did we all know it would lead to the future of Boston.
my favorite pg
Would like to see rondo on the celtics now bet they would be a whole other team
That’s some wholesome content
What I don't get is how a 6'1 PG coming off of an ACL injury causing him to miss almost a full year can average more rebounds than Jeff Green who is one of the most explosive players in all of the NBA.

I was thinking that same thing. And it's more ridiculous because Rondo's not even back to being how he was before the injury.
I never forgot this game .rondo against kg and pierce
+efe eren is that who played? im blind so i couldnt tell
and terry too
+Brian Peppers Yet you just replied to a comment
Brian Peppers Nah I'm good
Welcome to H-Town in 2014-2015 season, Rondo!!
Keep dreaming...
We'll see.
+Bryant 7 lmao haha
+Natsu Tsuna nop
+Natsu Tsuna lol or naw
still great numbers
Smh I miss the old Rondo who used to get 20ast without breaking a sweat
Ayeee
Atleast we got #9
THE BEST PG.....RONDO........the playmaker now and then...
rondo just need....teamwork like bron and davis....
I don't care how anybody tries to justify it, it's just not right seeing KG and Pierce not in the green.
35-36 in the 3rd quarter is wild
3:05 aperpak
Kg: oooohhh damn!
Always thought those guys were great together.
Wow I didn't even notice he had a near triple double.
Rondo garnet two brothers
RONDO💯💯💯
That Brooklyn team looked real Nasty on paper I forgot they had Livingston for a second. But I'm still upset they broke up my Celtics man 😣😣😣. Then my hometown squad gets Rondo and fucks up too. 😬😬😡😡. Rondo still a beast
How did Brooklyn score 85 pts when they missed all their shots?
Right!???
Pierce and Garnett on the Nets. wtf
On paper the Nets looked great, but unfortunately they were just too old!
I think I was actually watching that game
AW KG SET THE SCREEN FOR RONDO- HaHaHa, LET RONDO GO! YOU NO KG COULD HAVE BLOCKED RONDO SHOT LOVE THESE 2 DUO'S, EVEN IF THEY'RE ON OPPOSITE TEAMS KG AND RONDO
"Familiar territory,Unfamiliar result"
Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maaan,,,,Pierce, Joe Johnson, KG and Williams shoulda been a whip
Problem was Brook Lopez breaking his foot beginning of the season.
Rajon Rondo to the rockets baby!!!!
Yeah, my favourite player Chris Paul
pierce the man .!.!.
flashes of his old self? wat? he cooked in sac, n.o., and chicago after this lmao
No Brooklyn highlights...
That's cute
Faces at 3:54 =D
I still think Ainge could have kept them together just ONE more year....
True indeed, but I miss the Rondo,Pierce,KG,Ray era.
StarrettCityKid me too
familiar territory, unfamiliar results...lol
Wonder what ainge is gonna do with jeff greens inconsistent ass lol... but captain rondo is the man
Why the fuck did pierce and KG go to Brooklyn
Welcome to bulls
Are you actually happy with that...I'm a die hard bulls fan and I see Rando as a true point guard in the league passing and scoring with highs and lows.

Rondo works well with the second unit. He's better with McDermott, Mirotic, Valentine, and Felicio.
Overall good game but those 6 TOs just stick out like a sore thumb. I guess that won't be for long though because Kobe was averaging a high number of turnovers this season aswell, that means it's normal.
and Rose it's just getting use to moving back at that pace and getting comfortable with the game again something that no amount of practice can prepare you for
I know what you mean. I play basketball myself a little bit and practice is just not like the real thing :)
Marantzdv yeah it pretty much applies to anything and certainly with any sports because I to played ball, boxed, and tennis and I tell you, you find out quick why you needed so much preparation hell if not everybody would be like Alan Iverson "we talking bout practice, not a game practice" lol
Ron S
:)
