Rajon Rondo Challenges Usain Bolt To A Race

There’s no doubt that Rajon Rondo is one of the fastest players in the NBA, but Friday night the point guard was just plain talkin’ crazy. With Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt in the building, as he was filming a commercial for Gatorade the next day with KG, Rondo called out the world’s fastest man.

“I challenged him,” Rondo said. “I told him I don’t think he wants it, though. Yeah, I told him that, ‘You don’t want it.’ But I also told him that he might see me in 2012. He said, ‘OK, see you there.’”

How badly would Rondo lose?

  • doc

    Rondo would get smoked faster than a crackrock left on the floor of a recovery home

    If u guys did watched the Olympics during the 100m, u’ll see Bolt didnt really went all out and yet he still managed to break the world record by 9.69s…

    @ I forget who

    It was BOSTON who took less in the KG trade. They did it to win a ship. With 30 teams in the league it is understandable to go for a quick ship. Big Al will peak under KG’s peak but is 10 years younger. So right there, the trade is even, but look at all the other stuff they got with Al.

    @ I forget who else

    It was MEMPHIS who took less in the Mayo trade. They are stuck with paying Fatoine/Jaric/Buckner for 3 full seasons. Minny gets Love/Miller (good enough right there) and only has to pay Cardinal for 2 seasons and Collins for 1 season. And Collins is actually a good back-up big for his defense.

    Wow, rajon rondo is an idiot. Rajon Rondo is nothing in speed compared to the fastest people in the league. Rajon Rondo is not even close to being as fast as Tony Parker, Leandro Barbosa, TJ Ford, Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, Allen Iverson, and Devin Harris. And these guys are nothing compared to Usain Bolt. Usain Bolt is “Lightning”. He’s faster than a puma. he is faster than a cheetah. He is as fast as lightning.

    Rondo is not fast. There’s a difference between “quick” and “fast.” Rondo simply has good acceleration, but his top speed isn’t that high. Usain Bolt on the other hand, has simply awful acceleration but would kick Rondo’s butt in the 100.

    You sure Rondo wouldn’t grab him and throw him into a scorers table somewhere?

  • MIKE R CHIN

    RONDO WOULDN’T BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO LEAVE THE STARTING GATE.
    HE WOULD BE STILL IN HIS STARTING BLOCKS.
    NO CHANCE WHATSOVER.

    Umm yeah. Rondo is fast, and i will forever be a fan, but Usain Bolt? Come On, seriously? It takes like 2 seconds for him to get down the 100 meter. seriously. lets get real here, and I hope I’m not taking this too seriously, cuz I almost bet Rondo was kidding. He’s smarter than that.

  • mr. basketball

    devin harris is faster than rhondo….he holds tthe guiness world record on the full court, end to end dribble…3.9 seconds…look it up

  • mr. basketball

    this order…..devin harris, barbosa, rose, and they all would be blown out against bolt on his worst day
