What I want to learn....
Through my research later on, I hope I can compare him with other great basketball players. For example other great basketball players are, Derrick Rose, John Wall, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, and finally Rajon Rondo.

Was he good when he played college? When did he get drafted into the NBA with the Boston Celtics? Did people start admiring him in college or NBA? What position did he play in college?
