    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>When Telfair arrives in Boston to get acquainted with his new team, he?ll also continue a curious connection with Rondo.Rondo, who grew up in Louisville, Ky., was dying to play for the hometown college team under former Celtics coach Rick Pitino, who instead held out for Telfair, who indeed signed a letter of intent for the 2003-04 season. Rondo settled for Kentucky, and a system he never adjusted to, and Telfair changed course and headed straight for the NBA Draft.They now get to jostle each other in training camp</div>

    Thats interesting, I remember a couple of years ago when Rondo was deciding between the two, must be a hard decision for local Kentucky kids because both schools are such powerhouses.
