Rondo's basketball IQ is actually insane.
Have you seen him play connect4?
imo dude played one good game now hes elite
@@M.Đ-z4u u clearly haven't been watching
mdj he’s been excellent in every game he’s played and his defence has been great in the playoffs
@@M.Đ-z4u you really havent watch rondo from the jump. He been an elite point guard
Rondo and Dwight playing like it’s 2010 lol
Time flies
Flies timed
Fime Tlies
nope Rondo made more assist when his team mates is Kevin Garnet,Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen so you so wrong
Flime ties
I just want rondo to do a fake behind the back one time 😩
Signature prime rondo buddy
He keeps playing like this and you will see one in this series or the final series.. mark my words
Its coming, you can see his confidence building!
Wait for it bro 😁
Bro me to hopefully if they make the finals and if Boston advances that would bad ass if he did it to Boston
I though that PlayOff Rondo was a myth. Now I’m a believer. Amen…
Playoff Rondo is real, Playoff P well... is not.
Man, those passes are crisp af
Playoff Rondo > Playoff P 😂
Pandemic P* 🤣
We been known that tho lol
Wayoff P*
Rondo: floates behind the backboard
Pandemic P: hits the side of the backboard 3 in an elimination Game 7
😂😂😂😂
Lmao 😂
😂😂😂
Hahahaha
What do you expect from PG13%
I remember in the late 2000's, the LeBron Cavs, the Dwight Magic, and the Rondo Celtics were battling in the East playoffs.
Now they have joined forces on Kobe's former team.
leflop always must built a team to go to the finals.then 3-6
@@M.Đ-z4u Yup he's been to the finals more than half of his years in the NBA.... Looks like it's about to be 4-6. Then next year possibly 5-6. One more and he'll tie Jordan, but actually suprass him because he will have made it to the finals 12 times in 19 years.
@@kingsolomon5956 problem is hes big choker
mdj that’s bull shit you’re just a hater he’s only choked one time in the 2011 finals that’s it though
@@aaronryan8979 Yup he had analysis paralysis smh. He over-thought his food instead of just eating it.. It's okay though because he learned from it. It taught him how to be a champion by not over thinking the game.... Ever since then he's given MVP level performances 7 finals in a row...
Everyone is a gangster till Playoff Rondo doing his thang.
😆
you never saw prime tony parker then
mdj ???
@@zayir_ rondo gangster imo
Dwight want that ring.. whatever it is going take. Enforcer, Energy, Momentum... that is why he will be getting the minutes over McGee
Mcgee slow as hell, but hes a good perimeter defender tho
@@nguyentientoan61 Agreed.. very slow lol.. I just think with the pick and roll game the nuggets play- it is going be tough for him to switch onto Murray.. Dwight has some pep in those legs.. I do like McGee, it's just been tough watching him these playoffs.. the opponents they have had doesn't help either
He didn’t even wanna come to the bubble till last minute I’m surprised I thought he would come no matter what just to get that ring
Just let you know McGee has a problem not sure what it is I think something with his heart or something I have to check but he has a problem that after a while he can’t be out there to long it’s another reason why he not playing like he was when the season started but trust me he has heart but I’m glad Dwight doing good
@@Drew_1994 asthma
My man Rondo dropped a floater from behind the backboard. Lake Show
denver in 7.oh how that will hurt flakers
@@M.Đ-z4u you're alone bud
Playoff rondo is so dope man everytime he gets in the playoffs he turns into a beast 💪💪🔥🔥
@@M.Đ-z4ukeep dreaming
@@M.Đ-z4u you poor sad man. I'll wager our 16 rings against your what? No rings 😂?
Joker: goes inside the paint
Dwight: no regards for human life
Yuriel Cundangan the clippers have no fast and tall centre
That's what we like to see baby
doesnt matter.denver in 7 again
mdj please hand over the crack you are smoking
I need a friend like DHoward, an enforcer.
Who would have thought Lebron’s greatest opponents early on in his career who end up joining forces with him in the western conference finals in 2020?!
Danny Green- Spurs
Dwight Howard- Magic
Rajon Rondo- Celtics
Avery Bradley- Celtics
Javale.Mcgee- Warriors
Include AD and JR
AD was never an adversary
Emmanuel Wu FACTS. I was just thinking that. Rondo and Dwight Howard cmon.

The most 2008 video title I’ve ever read.....par for the course in 2020
Well, nuggets vs lakers. It’s quite old but fun if you ask me
Hahaha very nostalgic
Looking forward for next season, with Nets Warriors being the Lakers biggest rival yet
Future Hall-of-Famers!
Rondo probably. Not solidified. This 2nd ring will definitely put him in the convo for second ballot for sure. Dwight is no question.
yessir
IM GIVING 3RD BEST PLAYER ON LAKERS TO RONDO HIS PASSES IS CRAZY
👍
👍
Einstein Rondo
2:53 classic Rondo right there!
Agreed, unless Kuz starts becoming consistent
Dwight block jokic
commentator: nice block by danny green
He's seeing in 240p
It was a double block
@@momoblue1691 Definately Dwight's block that stopped the shot
Having rondo is such a revelation for the lakers, he's a pest on defense, reads opponent's plays, makes the right decision 99% of the time, plus now you cant leave em open from 3. Dwight's big D and energy is also crucial, cant believe the guy is still that strong and has hops in his 30s
Pause
They’re champs! And they’re definitely playing like it and showing it in these playoffs 😤😤 so glad we picked them up. Don’t think we’d be here without them.
Wtf? You can be highly athletic well into your 30’s and beyond.
Big D wtf
Pause bro, Big D?
Idgaf about any of the Lakers superstars, but hoping rondo and Howard can get a ring, they were casted out and now showing their worth! ❤️
Yeah at least im hoping that howard can get the first ring on his entire career
They’re hall of famers and I put my money when I say, rondo in his prime would be top 7 pg in this game and Dwight in his prime would prolly be the best center in today’s game
I want to see Anthony Davis win. He's a cool guy.
@@yogeshpatel5162 He'd be a way better version of bam adebayo
rondo already has a ring bro?
Dwight Howard and Rajon Rondo still has left in the tank.
It’s crazy to me how quick and athletic Dwight can be at times even at his age. Just imagine he was 4-5 years younger this series would be a wrap
I think it IS a wrap. Dwight's having fun and playing like a beast.🏀✌️
Lakers aren't old, just experienced
What amazing by dunk wild dwight howard...🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 wayching from philippines....go lakers
Rondo and Howard They’re hall of famers and I put my money when I say, rondo in his prime would be top 7 pg in todays game and Dwight in his prime would prolly be the best center in today’s game
Howard is so athletic even in year 16 bruh. More athletic than Jokic
Bro imagine Dwight was even 5 years younger, wow this series would be over
tony parker in his prime would be number 1
@@M.Đ-z4u Lol, no he wouldn't, in their primes at their best it would still be Curry, Chris Paul and Westbrook.
@@Jsalcedo23 if that was the case he would probably have been disrupting the team chemistry arguing with Bron and AD he isn't getting enough touches to do his nonexistant post up moves
1:47 this fake hand off to kuz -alley opp to davis is insane..😅 small detailed movements, yet has a big impact.
Good eye, didn't see that. Rondo definitely pays attention to detail. He should be narrating Detail when he retires. He's a genius, it's funny how everyone in the media talks about Lebron's IQ but leaves Rondo out of it. If you ask me Rondo IQ way higher and really can control the offense in a way that only true old school point guards can.
@@LazyCrazyGuy even the commentators are not aware of that detail..
It brings back the old good days 😭😭 at least we can see a little bit of Celtics-Rondo
this what Lakers need now a solid big man like superman
when rondo does that aomine move you'll know that its ovaahhhh!!
🤣😂🤣
Aomine💀💀🤣
😅😅😅
dude played just one good game,sheesh flakers fans
@@M.Đ-z4u you haven't seen his performance in round 2 against the rockets have you?
Unlike the media, Lakers are taking DEN seriously.

Ewew
If Jr Smith was in the Nugget’s huddle he’d follow their play

if Clippers won against Nuggets, Jr Smith be coming to game 1 WCF in a Clippers uniform...
@@pihermoso11 He'll turn Kawhi into KawHigh
Bron Haters excuses:
1. Refs
2. Adam silvers plan
3. Pandemic pg
You forgot
4. Being carried by AD( wade, allen ,irving) something like that.
Def the NBA plan tho. They gonna do everything they can to gift the Lakers a title. That's when the NBA makes the most money, and they need it now. So many story lines to build on fir the next few years. Lakers - Celtics finals not this year, but the next 2. They are tied for titles after this season when Lakers win.
@@ΒΞΔΝ if it's NBA plan then they should've force battle of LA for more ratings. Lakers are just too good this year.
@@brotherdcp-t710w4 you stupid man, ad, wade, allen, and irving were carried by lebron justin fool. That's why he's always been the FINALS MVP
@@brotherdcp-t710w4 and you forgot. they've just help lebron for those rings
What a good team that was
Nice to see rondo back his kind of playing style and i also love the way the Lakers players move the ball so smooth
Am I the only one who always believed that Dwight still is a starting level center?
I agree. AD and Howard as the front court is scary. Honestly, the Lakers have so many options with their current roster. They can adjust anytime.
Dwight’s body has been in shape his whole career it’s crazy.
Frickin Love Rondo’s Game!
Dwight caught that alley-oop with the tips of fingers, that was crazy.
and still slammed it hard af lol
Lebron doesn't even need to play full 48 min in an wcf match. Cause this time he has a lot of role players.
Though the Lakers gonna need for the finals.
After all lebron been through his career.. dude legit deserves it.. and his teammates know it too.. they playing with an legend
Idts, Rondo is just covering up a lot of the pimples in the Lakers bench. When Rondo wasn't playing well in the regular season the Lakers looked awful without Lebron on the floor.
@@lucassze9552 remember when rondo got burnt by warriors in playoffs.he needed to be benched cuz he wasn't providing any offense.
@TheRealist 811 for the love of God, please stop
Jokic got tormented all night. They were bullying him
Yup and then haters blaming reffss. Lmao
Val Singson for real. Jokic could have had 8 fouls
Guys.. the game plan is to break the jokers game be PHYSICAL on Jokic, he maybe the best versatile center nowadays but once you put a body on him he will break..
That's what Howard doing and the rest of the lakers defenders.
jokic got straight up bodied
@@jaze1427 that's the game plan bro.. break the joker hurt him so bad until his gets physical on the lakers then he will get suspend. I will tell you Jokic will get suspend in this series he will punch someone.
Best baackkbbooard shott Ever
nah kobe's was better i think
When you talk about guys having chips on their shoulders.. Boy do the Lakers have guys who want it. Bron trying to win his 4th with 3 different franchices, Davis wants his first after being the best big man in the league for many years without success. Rondo and Howard trying to redem them selfs . Kuzma and Carusso proving they are on this level. Youve got Markif killing them dudes saying his brother is better. Mcgee wants no more Shaqtins a fool. Pope has been hearing it the past few years. And finally Jr, Dion and Dudley putting their finishing touches on their careers with a ring in LA. Thats for Kobe.
🥺👏
Lbj loved the way rondo laying cuz he is like lpaying with himself
2:56 Caruso trying to be Miami Wade
Carushow came from G league.
Anything is possible.
Scouts did a great job picking him
Caruso, some nice passing there.
Thanks to the whole Lakers team that was a great win for us everybody chipping in that's what I'm talkin about let's go LA 💜💛🤾♂️🏆🍾
Is this 2010😂 2010 dwight and rondo👀
1:14 There is one impostor among us
nice
Respect for both🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
BIG TIME.🔥🏀🏀🔥
One of the last of the true pure PGs we have left in the league....
Like i said rondo deserves more credit and respect...
Wow too much IQ for these Lakers, Lebron, Rondo, Caruso, Dwight and Green. Insane
If I were Anthony davis there's no chamce ill leave L.A. considering my situation. Warm climate, SOLID Team, what more can you ask for?
I hope so. These young guys sometimes end up wanting to prove they can get a ring without another superstar. Just look at Kyrie and KD.
just give AD a true pg he will be a monster.
@@royjacob5197 Caruso would be a better point guard soon, just need growth.
@@anima099 if i were AD I'll look up the rafters in staples and see the legendary centers up there. Also, you clearly see him and lebron are friends. They wait for each other to finish getting interviewedby reporters. Also the prospect of being the lakers centerpiece is too sweet a prospect considering lebron would probably retire in a few years. And remember, he came from the pelicans from top to bottom the lakers is clearly an upgrade and winning is so much better than losing. He already knows the feeling of competing alone. If i were in his place i wont even consider being a solo star.
@@owenbenedictpangan3553 he had a good team in orleans too back then.he choked always in plaoff
That was an all high IQ Lakers team👍👏
1:57 "All you have to do is raise ur eyebrow"
dude, he is The Brow of nba, sometimes it flies, I mean his Brows, literally
When they play good ball movement and defense thier unstoppable
I feel like Howard is just having fun out there :D
And it's GREAT to see. I've been rooting for him.🏀✌️
Holy. Lakers played their hearts out this game. Let’s hope they can do this 3 more games.
Lakers needs Howard rn
After losing game 3 last night and We're about to get swept again...i just wanna look back to this 2020 Laker team where Nuggets were the underdogs. Howard is definitely the Joker Stopper!
3:33 Rondo teaching Paul Choke how to shoot from back board...
Best game for Dwight Howard.. Need to be a champion this year..
We sure Rondo and Dwight in their late 30s? LeBron's fountain of youth rubbing off the OG guys like corona.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
2020 lakers bringing back showtime
Well Rondo is playing like Bulls Rondo. Not Celtics Rondo yet lol (Celtics Rondo was so good that he could compete against Prime LBJ)
Hyun Facts yo
once rondo pulls a fake behind the back pass, we’ll know he ascended into celtics rondo😂
but not against prime tony parker

As a life long Celtics fan... never forgot Rondo. Love seeing him in his element again.
Playoff rondo fire
0:39 Harris misses Jokic for the pop from 3 and then throws it at his face... awesome. Remember where there was a genuine conversation over who would be better, Murray or Harris?
I still don't have a freakin clue why did they dismantle this lakers team right after they won the championship lol
bro they don't have enough money to pay this player
I like it very much when rondo getting super focus on the game. He always find a way. Just like carushow.

@@rexchapman8624 lol auto correct
Im so glad that howard regains his composure,
Just like what he is 15 yrs ago...
Remember when the 8th seed Bulls took a 2-0 lead against the 1st seed Celtics during 2016-2017 playoffs? *Rondo led that team*
Remember the 2018 Lebron? The Celtics took a 2-0 lead on the Cavs in the ECF. Lebron said, "No problem. I've been in worse situations. Down 3-1 in the Finals." He's also on this team.
back to back champions Lakers this year n next year🔥
Rondo Celtics won his ring vs Kobe Lakers
Imagine if he win his second ring as Lakers vs Celtics.
But I guess Miami is two steps away from finals
It’s criminal that Pelinka blew up this team after winning a championship
Get out the broom if Dwight keeps playing like that
Bron in 5
We need Danny green too he booty cheeks now
Got it out already. Dwight's still a beast.🏀✌️
Those plays are work of art. Probably the best combo on the planet.
Playoff Rondo-hit 2 pts behind the backbord
Playoff Georgina-hit the side of the backbord.
Bro🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Heheheer
Man, I miss this Lakers… !
Social media ruined dwight's career
No, injuries did
And it’s about to revive it
Gay rumors and a clout-chasing transsexual did.. but he’s coming back.
@@notting2640 c'mon. That happened 2 years ago. His career started declining after the back injury he had in the Lakers. He hasnt been the DPOY, team-leader Dwight since then. But now he has finally exceeded in his back-up center role with incredible defense and rim finishing. A player any NBA team would want.
Rando his on fire great player ever seen....
Nuggets fans: Nuggets in 7
Lakers fans: Woah, calm down Jamal don't pull out the 9
Morris, howard, rondo, kuzma, carusso. Solid bench players in a starter level.
And nobody talks about the rental Morris gets a ring.
Hype Bro gone home.
Rondo looking like a strong black woman with them braids,dreads
You know you a problem when you got a pg throwing floaters over a backboard.
EXHIBITION SHOWTIME.....rondo passing...
Hey guys just wanted to let you know that I love you all!keep safe!
Lakers in 4
Lakers in 5
Lakers in 4
Nuggets in 9
Rondo makes passing look fun. That man still got it
Clippers couldn’t handle Jokic. But the Lakers. I honestly believe they’ll sweep. To many big men that can handle Jokic with ease. Davis, Howard and McGee? No chance. Not to mention now you have to deal with lebron. Lakers whole bench is basically all 6th men lol. Sorry nuggets
Rondo on 🔥. Lets go! LAKERNATION from 🇲🇾!
Dear stranger your parents will live 100 years 🖤
Yesss! My favourite point guard, Chris Pauul.
Playoff rondo!!!
Playoff rondon gave us a smile lastnight
It's 2024 and we missed this team like it was a team from 10's. The connection was just phenom here, the defensive end made them 1st in defense that year, i mean look at the lakers defense starting from the guards, especially when Rondo, Caruso, KCP was on the floor. It was a steal parade and the addition of those big man; Davis, Dwight and Mcgee. On the other hand, the offensive end, a floor general playoff Rondo and bron making it easy for the team to get points. The year was finished when this team happens. Addition, they also have great 3 point and paint shooters that time. Man i miss this team, they could literally go for atleast 2-3 rings if not for the trading.
Beautiful lob from the GOAT 🐐
AC fresh learning/playing along side RONDO can only elevate GAME to the next LEVEL...GOON 101 in session...
everyone on Lakers just hitting their prime again, old man still got it !
Ole man juice still strong
The pieces they removed..
