With pure skills and quickness, Jr. looks like he is all set to be in his father’s shoes. The video seems to be from the tryouts going on for Pierre’s premier youth basketball program — Rondo Elite — based in Louisville, Kentucky.

They also have travel programs for various age groups and a “Coaches Corner” where Rondo Elite provides the coaches with the guidance to direct players in order to help them succeed.

It is good to see that even with all the legal troubles, Rajon Rondo has all the support from his former teammates. Moreover, Pierre’s child making the legends look at him is surely a bonus. What do you think about Rajon Rondo Jr.?
