Two-time NBA champion Rajon Rondo has popped up in a new sport, perhaps unforeseen, despite his skill at passing the rock.
At 39, the former point guard has become a flag football quarterback in local leagues across Georgia and is drawing eyes for his athleticism and the pinpoint precision that marked his basketball career.
A clip has surfaced online showing Rondo leading a drive with impressive poise, delivering throws under pressure and in slim margins. The footage, posted to Twitter/X and shown below, has sparked debate among fans as it’s claimed that he’s now the top-ranked flag football QB in the country.
Check it out right below:
“Rondo’s reportedly led his team to multiple tournament wins,” a comment read.
“Legendary,” a fan declared.
“One of the best pure PGs of his time,” said another.
“Dimes is all he knows,” one user pointed out.
“how is rondo the top-ranked flag football QB what is this clickbait 😂,” another argued.
“Bruh. My team won the championship in my area and we would wax them. Some of them are jogging on their routes,” someone else claimed.
Is Rajon Rondo Really The Top Flag Football QB In The Nation?
While Rondo’s passing skills clearly translate to the gridiron, he isn’t known to have competed in any national events sanctioned by Flag USA, so the viral claims of him being No. 1 should be taken with a grain of salt.
Rondo, who recently had the internet freaking out after recreating his iconic photo with his son five years after winning a championship with the Lakers, could have the 2028 Olympics on his mind. The sport has been added to the games and will debut in 2008, with NFL players also eyeing.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has already revealed his plans for the upcoming event, with several other stars indicating where they lean.
Meanwhile, Rondo is still involved in basketball and mentors youth players, while he has also been linked to several coaching roles. His son is developing as a basketball prospect, while his daughter plays volleyball at Alabama.
