Wow! Rondo is ranked number one in the United States! He is likely to compete in the 2028 Olympics.

Rondo is expected to participate in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics...

Some might argue, didn’t Rondo announce his retirement back in April last year?

Indeed, this guy has finished his NBA player career, but that doesn’t prevent him from continuing to excel in other sports fields.

Sorry, I posted the wrong image.

According to American media reports,Born on February 22, 1986, now 39 years old, Rondo is currently ranked number one in the U.S. as a flag football quarterback, and he has also demonstrated dominant performance on defense as a cornerback.Flag football has been confirmed as one of the five new events for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, which is why Rondo might appear on the Olympic stage in the future.

Historical records show that Rondo never played an official FIBA game for the USA men’s basketball team, only making the training rosters in 2008 and 2010. Yet, he has a chance to represent the country as a flag football athlete, even though he will be 42 by the 2028 Olympics. This move is truly surprising.

Rondo was the 21st pick in the first round of the 2006 draft, known as a high basketball IQ point guard. His NBA career lasted 16 years, playing for the Celtics, Mavericks, Kings, Bulls, Pelicans, Lakers, Hawks, Clippers, and Cavaliers. He averaged 29.9 minutes per regular season game with 9.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 7.9 assists, and 1.6 steals; in playoffs, he averaged 34 minutes with 12.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 8.5 assists, and 1.7 steals.

Throughout his NBA career, Rondo earned a total salary of $116 million, winning championships with the Celtics and Lakers, making one All-NBA Third Team, four All-Defensive Teams, leading the league in assists three times, steals once, and being selected to four All-Star games.

In summary, despite many controversies, Rondo is undeniably an excellent player. The public has been eager for him to take on a head coaching role after his playing days, but as mentioned, he has chosen to continue his athletic career by participating in flag football.

It proves that great talent shines wherever they go. We look forward to the day Rondo takes the Olympic stage.
