9 Stories on number 9

This is a pretty long but interesting recap of Rondo's ascendancy. What I found interesting about it was that it starts with his pre-high school life in Kentucky, takes you through high school (did you know his high school coach was Doug Bibby, Henry's nephew and Mike's cousin?) and on from there. By providing insight into his personality, it helps to explain the strained relationship between Rondo and Doc in the beginning.

Great story.

I spend a lot of time in Kentucky and Louisville in particular and the area Rajon grew up is pretty rough. Great to see him come from nothing to really make a name as one of the best in the game.

Thanks for the link. Great read on someone who is about to be a lot of people's favorite player. What a great player to build around. The grass looks very green these days.
