A former Kentucky basketball legend is picking up a new sport

One of the most beloved Kentucky players is without a doubt Rajon Rondo, who was recently added to the Kentucky Athletics Hall of Fame.

Rondo went on to a very long and successful NBA career that lasted from 2006 all the way to 2022.

Now that Rondo has hung up the basketball shoes, some thought he would get into coaching at the college level or perhaps even at the NBA level.

Well, it looks like Rondo has another idea, as he has been playing some flag football in his hometown of Louisville, and now some are wondering how far he is going to go with his flag football career.

Flag football is being added to the Olympics, so perhaps if Rondo is serious about playing, he will try and represent the United States, but he could also just be playing for something fun to do now that his basketball career is over.

Rondo is playing quarterback for his flag football team, and he seems to be really good.

In the video of him playing Rondo is putting the ball right on the money for his wide receivers, so perhaps he does have a future playing quarterback in flag football.

Let's take a look at some of Rondo's highlights from his flag football game.
