Cousins thinks this is Calipari University, I’m glad Rondo knows it’s not.
Rondo is moving up the list of favorite former players
I know the Cal players will have his back, especially the ones who went pro and got paid. Rondo is correct though.

Let’s get an actual basketball minds opinion. Let’s see what Pat Riley thinks about cal
Cousins acts like it was terrible when he got there lol... we had like 2 years of Billy and two downish years of tubby... those 4 years really weren't as bad as these last 4 years how I remember it.
It's obvious now mitch is bringing cal back, I assume because all the grand slam hires said no.
Only hope is Cal's 2022, 2023, 2024 is a mirror of coach K 2012,2013,2014 ...and the 15/25 mirror too and it's back to title contender.

Rondo and Ulis on the bench would be awesome.
He would suck as a coach because he hates losing and would get into the players ass and he wouldn't be one of Cal's yes men.
Kobe & Lebron both said he was one of the highest IQ players they ever played with or against. Lebron specifically said, “it’s weird to me that he isn’t coaching”.
But nerdcat says he would suck, so that’s that.
Cousins is making Rondos point without realizing it.
That was the standard…it’s why Billy G was fired after only 2 years. It’s why Tubby was pushed out 2-3 years after an E8 but it had been a decade since a title….and never missed a tournament.
“You tellin me it was chip or bust under BCG?” Yes…that’s why he was canned after 2 seasons. “All clubs go through down turns”….yes and weve historically been quick to move on and be proactive at getting back to where we belong

I love Cuz and no disrespect to him at all, I even love that he loves his coach, but he's wrong. It's been as good here as it was when Cal was winning, but it's never been this bad.
Cuz just got SMOKED!! UK has had FIVE Different coaches win a CHAMPIONSHIP!
Cousins acted like JVC invented winning championships at UK. He needs to remember he played on one of JVC'S teams that CHOAKED!!
Rondo would be a hell of a coach and I’d much rather have him next year instead of Joel Osteen.
Rondo would get fired for making some of these kids cry. He’s not worried about taking anyone’s heart. He’s gonna try to turn yours into stone and make you an assassin.
Rondo gets it. This is about how I expected it to go. Cal guys don't know anything about the program's rich tradition. Kentucky is bigger than any one coach.
Like I posted in another thread today, Al McGuire once said, "They had it before you, they had it during you, they'll have it when you're gone."

First Rondo would need to get his degree, before he could be a coach.
Thats why Ulis came back to get his degree.

Lol, I posed a thread hours before this came out. It’s gonna be messy.
Sample of the way these younger dudes see things. He’s not real
Familiar w the history of the program and all he knows is we weren’t relevant during his highschool years and became relevant their freshman season. Rondo being older and from the state, has seen more eras of UK basketball and knows what this is about.

I will be 79 in June and I have followed UK since 1966 and Cousins does not seem to know the history of UK Basketball. What I have been watching the last 5 years is not UK Basketball. Time for a change, Fire Calipari.
It’s obvious cal doesn’t educate his players on the history of the program because according to Demarcus we became great when cal came. 🤮
That's because JVC teaches them that their draft nights are the greatest days in UK basketball history.
What did cousins say that was wrong? Everything he said was 100% factual. He acknowledged we have been great forever and cal brought us back to being great when we were down. How is that wrong?
How about right away? He pretty much said that Cal is the one who set the UK standard
He said it right upfront..... Did you even watch the video?..... might be a good idea..."the guy who created the standard....."
He said he understands ky was good way before cal but they were down when he got here.
Sure did watch it
Hmmmm…makes me wonder how much Cal’s players really KNOW about our program.
you asked where he said that in the video, referring to the other poster..... and it was right at the beginning..... Why argue if you got it wrong?
Rondo is an interesting dude. Kind of the NBA version of Aaron Rodgers. Freak talent, but very cerebral and kind of different. Rain man meets a beautiful mind meets an elite athlete.
Some say he would be a great coach. Not sure of his interest level in it though.
A lot of these NBA dudes have podcasts, a couple are very good and worth listening/watching, and whenever they talk about Rondo you can just tell.
