Shit if we had him at his age against the warriors in the finals I think he makes a huge difference. IQ alone. He wouldn’t have allowed Tatum and brown to make so many mistakes
Dude had like 20+ assist one game, I’ve never seen that in the modern game. If they didn’t get hurt going into the playoffs it would’ve been interesting to see how that played out.
@@begcoins Boogie was a 25/12 guy on that team, but the coach had him playing outside too much, causing too many turnovers. Why would you have Cousins at the top of the key initiating offense when you have Rajon Rondo as your PG?!?? Made no sense, and it didn't work. Cousins was leading the league in turnovers when he tore his achilles. N.O. brought in Mirotic and went up tempo on offense and beat Portland in the playoffs. Rondo led the league in APG again.
@@s.llovesome9612 i bet it comes from his love of the game but I can see him coming across as an asshole during it but you gotta trust his process as your maestro. Who knows as coach
A podcast where a former player doesn’t need to talk about rifts, beefs, or points of contention in their career or career of others. I love a podcast like this
Rajon Rondo stands as a great example of what to do after the NBA. The man is taking advantage of all his blessings that has been given to him ever since locked down and worked hard at it. Going to school to educate yourself on more passion after basketball is astounding. You give back, by being an example.
Followed Rondo since his college days in my hometown. That boy was always gifted and smarter than 95% of any other player on the court. Once a wildcat, always a wildcat.
@@RickyWraith I was being generous but you're closer to correct. He wasn't always the smartest but its few and far between who were craftier and smarter. It just took him too long to develop a reliable jumper. Was his only flaw.
@@RickyWraith -- sometimes being the smartest player on the court can cause unnecessary riffs on the team. But Rajon was a great PG -- even without FTs or outside shooting.
Rondo's Basketball IQ is genuinely crazy, he's explaining everything to be a great true point and basketball team and it all flows so naturally and is easy to understand, this is all signs of a great coach.
As a diehard lakers fan I’m going to forever be grateful we had rondo in 2020 because I don’t think we win that championship without him thanks rondo💜💛.
Love Rondo, his camp was my first ever basketball camp in middle school and I was doing so good at the camp they wanted me to play with the high schoolers 🙌🏽I’ll never forget that experience!!! Legend
The reason why Europe is so called outshining U.S. ballers is because of the way America produces players through the AAU system. Jokic and Luka would have ended up in the NBA regardless.
@@brandong5676 you don’t know basketball. You letting the media fool you. Most nba players in todays game are nothing more than spoiled nba players children. Go into the ( Hood) like back in the day you will find many victor wembyas.
MY FAVORITE PLAYER💪🏽im glad he is loved💯born in 2000 fell in love with the celtics in 08 and their little fast flashy point guard with the headband😭 every time he got the ball i knew it was in good hands
more information- i had his whole outfit head to toe when i was younger and went to the parks with it😭even the rondo edition hyperdunks and celtics jersey and shorts
Growing up in the Kobe era in LA, Rondo very quietly shared a spot as one of my favorite players. I was happy when he came to the Lakers, and even happier when we won a ring with him
Besides Rajon being super real and a G, I like how he shelters his son from social media and keeps him focused on the goal. It truly is a distraction, it makes you lazy and takes away alot drive outta you. This man right here knew his role as a player, he honed his skills and was ELITE as a PG who made super smart calls and plays that made Rajon feared on the court. He didn't need to score even tho he could. That's why I respect people with their ego in check. He knew his role and played it every time and that's why all his teammates could count on him. Rajons battles with a prime D-Rose were also very entertaining. If I remember correctly Rajon said that D-Rose was his toughest match-up and D-Rose said the same thing about Rajon. Nowadays alot of player can do much more than back in the days, but I believe we truly need more specialists who are dominant in one particular area that gives teams a certain advantage. So to hear "de*th of a true PG" makes you almost think like "DAMN. This is true!". D-Rose kinda changed the perspective of a PG too, I watched him when he was on his best season thinking "This is what PGs do now?", then you have Curry who is kinda like a mix between PG and SG yet he's listed as a PG (he basically revolutionized that position is what I'm trying to say). It's def a interesting course of evolution to see. PS. Good to see Rajon joining the team.
Perfect group. Rondo and Lebron supplement one another for all of us, and it is with knowledgeable co-hosts who have high basketball-IQs for our benefit. Lebron and Rondo on different podcasts, simultaneously?!? So dope.
Man. Females tougher than dudes wit this new generation. I can already see Rondo gettin ina couple scraps wit the players before the pre-season ova wit
Gotta be honest it's been an evolution. It's been a combination of their heroes that they watched which weren't partially emotional but showed emotion. Then their parents influence which falls on the older generation. So, you can't put the blame on these kids that have only acted on what they have seen and experienced. There hero's and tutors had thought them to show that because now if people don't, they are told they don't have a motor and don't care.
Its such a good thing that these NBA podcasts exist for the purpose of the game but also for ex-players that can further their careers post playing in a field they still have love for. Incredible knowledge for these younger players to learn from
A brilliant basketball mind. Couldn't stand him when he was on the Celtics but loved him on the Lakers and really appreciated what he brought to the league. Huge respect to a legit HOF'er
@user-be7tc2bd6e to be fair i hate all Celtics players from my era growing up lol. I'm a Lakers die hard... but since Tatum and all them came it don't feel like the same rivalry I ain't trippin
@@munneypte4511 I'm a die-hard Laker fan also,but,this's a much different era,I really like Tatum and company. I'm not tripping either this Celtic team I like watching.
RR good to see you...havent even listen to a minute of you guys convo...when I saw RR I just know this is good...he's on the team...ATS team... let me pull up and go grab my smoke I'll b right back..
my favorite player of allllll time mane idc if just being from boston is my reason why but i got my rondo jersey when i was like 7 in 2010 and happily always saw him as what 'it should look like playing basketball'. Truly an elite basketball person.
Rondo in his prime had some of the sweetest handles and when he wanted and needed to he could go get 40. One of my favorite players. Not many can say they won a ring with the Celtics and the Lakers .
Rajon Rondo is an amazing intelligent basketball player both on and off the Court!! Now, he's about to join all the smoke, even going to be an amazing, exciting show !!
I’m a life long Heat fan but I got to give Rondo his props. He is one of the most unique players I have ever watched in 25 years of watching the NBA. A true legend!
It’s crazy how little by little the position got diminished and yet RR still remained. He was fa sho the last of a dying breed, just like RB’s in football. Loved watching him in Boston and always appreciated his skill set and Bball IQ. I enjoyed the game so much more then… can’t wait to see this brotha coaching on the sidelines soon… maybe he’ll be the one to bring PG’s back to their rightful place in the game
A Point Genius right there💯💯💯 Him explaining the first 3 minutes strategy should be something that these run and shoot guys now need to study religiously. KYP beats run and gun any day
Rondo is what the Celtics needed in 08, what the Lakers needed in 2020, and what All The Smoke needs in 2024.
Shit if we had him at his age against the warriors in the finals I think he makes a huge difference. IQ alone. He wouldn’t have allowed Tatum and brown to make so many mistakes
This!
You was sitting on this comment for a min lol.
U tryna cook in the comment section😂
And he's what I need in bed ALL MY LIFE.
People forget how good he was on the Pelicans too… very underrated point guard
Playoff Rondo, AD & Boogie?? Almost unstoppable.
Dude had like 20+ assist one game, I’ve never seen that in the modern game. If they didn’t get hurt going into the playoffs it would’ve been interesting to see how that played out.
@@begcoins Boogie was a 25/12 guy on that team, but the coach had him playing outside too much, causing too many turnovers.

Thats how I knew him and AD would click in LA
To this day I believe they would’ve cut the warriors reign in half if Boogie didn’t get hurt .
This is why Rondo is needed as a coach!!!
Can't wait to see him in a coaching career or any team coaching staff
He just waitin till Bron buy that team in Vegas.
Nah not a Head Coach
He can’t get a coaching job because he has a terrible attitude behind close doors.
@@s.llovesome9612 i bet it comes from his love of the game but I can see him coming across as an asshole during it but you gotta trust his process as your maestro. Who knows as coach
Rondo is a genius man love hearing him talk ball
facts
What makes him a genius? This interview wasn’t even profound 😂
Super big facts!
A podcast where a former player doesn’t need to talk about rifts, beefs, or points of contention in their career or career of others. I love a podcast like this
Why not? That’s part of competition
Rondo we need you on the pelicans bro, come back.
What do you mean? That’s all stack and Barnes talked about when they first started this pod. They just ran out of stories 😂
@@IamnotJokicyeah they both race baiting drama queens
Great to see Rondo..Bron mentioned Rondo's greatness in Mind the Game.
Best podcast rn
Should have been bron and rondo hosting the podcast
@@TheHomieTitzonly if you a Bron glazer. Club 520 the hottest thing smoking.
He’s my fav point guard ever
@@VENGEFULHEXX… only if you’re a Bron hater is that true

Nah, Jason Parker, Rashaad Carruth and the transfers who couldn't hang are no longer Wildcats for me.
@@RickyWraith -- sometimes being the smartest player on the court can cause unnecessary riffs on the team.

Rondo a hall of famer! brilliant IQ ! floor general! champion ! 🏆
Rajon was my favorite pg in his time, even as a Miami Heat fan
Crazy ima heat fan and he my fav PG ever. I’m 33 btw so I seen some guys. Kyrie 2 JWill 3 J Kidd 4 Nash 5
hated Rondo as a Heat fan and as Florida Gator for the same reason. Special guy and player.
As a diehard lakers fan I’m going to forever be grateful we had rondo in 2020 because I don’t think we win that championship without him thanks rondo💜💛.
Definitely do not he's the man
WE NEED MORE RAJON RONDO'S IN BASKETBALL
Haliburton & Jokic!!
@@brandong5676I don’t see it from either tbh. Because jokic main focus ain’t ball and Hal ain’t there yet
Love Rondo, his camp was my first ever basketball camp in middle school and I was doing so good at the camp they wanted me to play with the high schoolers 🙌🏽I’ll never forget that experience!!! Legend
Congrats on joining the All The Smoke Podcast family Rondo. Looking forward to the future content.
Appreciate it!! More to come 💨
Rondo 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
Very few understand the Game the way Mr. Rondo grasps it.
Him, Bron & maybe Nash.
Rondo was one of my favorite players to watch when he played! He had some of the best assists I've ever seen! A true point guard for real
Rondo was ahead of his time, at the end of the true PG era.
Shout out to him on this new chapter in life!
Rondo said it best. It’s not that Europe is outshining us in basketball. It’s the fact the nba is going over there to get them
They are outshining us. The last American MVP was James Harden 6 years ago
The reason why Europe is so called outshining U.S. ballers is because of the way America produces players through the AAU system.
Jokic and Luka would have ended up in the NBA regardless.
@@brandong5676 you don’t know basketball. You letting the media fool you. Most nba players in todays game are nothing more than spoiled nba players children. Go into the ( Hood) like back in the day you will find many victor wembyas.
@@JudahiamKng Other than the “ I don’t know basketball”. Everything you said was spot on! I agree
@@yvans.Faxx US produces the players thru AAU and the bs NCAA and foreign players go pro at 14
I hope we get a rondo breaking down film and things. Would love to see him and Matt breaking down games together.
Truly a unique and one of a kind basketball mindset, glad he’s joining the family 💪🏾🔥
MY FAVORITE PLAYER💪🏽im glad he is loved💯born in 2000 fell in love with the celtics in 08 and their little fast flashy point guard with the headband😭 every time he got the ball i knew it was in good hands

My fav PG made me fall in love with basketball
Same
Been a Celtics fan cause of him too
One of the most insightful interviews yet. Good shit 👊🏾
I'm so glad Rondo is part of the show!! He was one of my favorite players to watch!!!
Congrats to Rondo on going back to school!!
Rajon on ATS! I love listening to Rajon speak about basketball. Cant wait for future content!
Locked in whenever rondo talks
Thats a blessing he going back to school & even better the NBA paying for it
Rondo should be an Nba coach. I bet he'd do a better job than most head coaches now.
He would be better than Darvin I bet
Growing up in the Kobe era in LA, Rondo very quietly shared a spot as one of my favorite players. I was happy when he came to the Lakers, and even happier when we won a ring with him
Rondo is such a student of the game with a very high IQ
27:26 When he said Stack and Stack knew who he was talking about. Stackhouse was such a baller.
Besides Rajon being super real and a G, I like how he shelters his son from social media and keeps him focused on the goal. It truly is a distraction, it makes you lazy and takes away alot drive outta you. This man right here knew his role as a player, he honed his skills and was ELITE as a PG who made super smart calls and plays that made Rajon feared on the court.

It's def a interesting course of evolution to see.

Rajon Rondo one of my favorite player AI of this generation
Impressive game IQ! 🔥 EXCITED TO WATCH MORE
Great guest, glad I got to Rondo on this platform.
Watching rondo highlights make me wanna play ball again. He really was the last true pg.
He should really be a coach but he too real these dudes nowadays too emotional 😂😂 glad he on the pod
U preaching
Man. Females tougher than dudes wit this new generation. I can already see Rondo gettin ina couple scraps wit the players before the pre-season ova wit

NBA is still great now as a product but yeah the players are primma Donna’s this days. Too emotional
"Rajon Rondo #9" my favorite Celtic point guard period and the other NBA teams he played for ❤️🖤💚
Its such a good thing that these NBA podcasts exist for the purpose of the game but also for ex-players that can further their careers post playing in a field they still have love for. Incredible knowledge for these younger players to learn from
How is only 30 min long damn need to be longer everything rondo said was fucking gems 💎 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Rajon my guy!! Alot of game in that funny shaped head lol that dude could ball. Very underrated
One of the best PGs with complete IQ of the game. My favorite pg of all time, no bs.
Thank you for this. Rondo is one of my favorite players and he hardly ever does podcasts.
Man, I could listen to Rondo ALL day! My fav, the kids can glean from his knowledge and advice!
what a great fit! congrats gents
Rondo bringing that elite IQ to the Pod 💪

I love the intangibles.. box out. Positioning, defensive prowess/presence. Basketball for life
Rondo is the reason why I fell in love with basketball. That pass first point guard, defense mentality! #9 #rajonrondo #champ 🔥
People will say I am biased because he is a homie of #PRESENTVILLE
I like rondo as a guest he knows a lot and when he speaks it's a lot of sense not too much drama just pure basketball.
This episode long enough for a nice perso blunt , Thanks for the vibes 🖤
Insane. Well done boys! Great addition

Education is forever! Great episode. Rondo a first ballet HoF
Love Rondo! One of my favorite PGs ever!
Watching Rondo helped mold my game. Both sides of the ball, dude was special
Adding rondo to the podcast a great step forward especially with Bron and JJ getting their podcast going
Always been a fan of Double R. Much respect 👍🏽
Haha it’s crazy, he got a ring with the Celtics AND the Lakers haha so cool and oddly satisfying due to them being rivals 😂😂
He definitely in elite company with them Ships
Love to see Rondo as a head coach. So smart and full of basketball and life knowledge.
This is why Rondo has always been my favorite PG.
Rajon! 502 Stand up! Congratulations and We’re Proud of you Brodie! Keep going 🔥
Hell yeah, that’s a big 3 podcast right there; love Rajpn Rondo!
This is legendary!!!
I miss those games when they played. Lakers×Celtics..
Good ol day's ❤
Rondo was pure art on the floor. He makes my top 10 favorite players to watch list.
Rajon Rondo is an amazing intelligent basketball player both on and off the Court!! Now, he's about to join all the smoke, even going to be an amazing, exciting show !!
Rondo continuing to evolve with the culture and giving back, is basketball greatness.
OH SHHH HE SPEAKS 😂. LIKE IF YOU NEVER HERD RONDO HOLD A FULL CONVO.
Lmao this aged so perfectly, rondo should be a coach
Bro he a natural coach. Would love to see him on an nba or college sideline
Rondo was one of the truest point guard ever. Man was helping other teams with their plays while on defense lmao
Ronda predicted what is happening right now with the Wolves!
Rondo so bright and his skills are underrated and will be taught to all guards in the future I'm calling it.
jus what we needed on a monday stak and barnes
I’m a life long Heat fan but I got to give Rondo his props. He is one of the most unique players I have ever watched in 25 years of watching the NBA. A true legend!
Good to see an old school highly intelligent baller/coach on the show
It’s crazy how little by little the position got diminished and yet RR still remained. He was fa sho the last of a dying breed, just like RB’s in football. Loved watching him in Boston and always appreciated his skill set and Bball IQ. I enjoyed the game so much more then… can’t wait to see this brotha coaching on the sidelines soon… maybe he’ll be the one to bring PG’s back to their rightful place in the game
I can see Rondo coaching in the NBA. Basketball genius and well respected around the league
A player we hated to see (with Boston) but a player we loved to have (my Lakers), thank you Rondo 💪🏾💪🏾💜💛
Rondo joining them is astonishing.He could bring a lot of knowledge to the people.
A Point Genius right there💯💯💯
Him explaining the first 3 minutes strategy should be something that these run and shoot guys now need to study religiously. KYP beats run and gun any day
Rondo x All the smoke is the perfect fit. Love to see this fr fr
Great episode. Good to see rondo
