Rajon Rondo is among the most decorated former Kentucky Wildcats in the school’s illustrious history. Rondo was taken in the first round of the 2006 NBA Draft, being selected 21st overall by the Phoenix Suns.

Rondo ended his NBA-playing career with four All-Star appearances, was also a four-time All-Defensive Team pick, and a three-time assist leader, along with helping both the Celtics and Lakers win NBA Championships. He also led the NBA in steals in 2010 and was an All-NBA Third Team selection in 2012.

Now, as he is set to continue his career outside the NBA, Rondo is enrolled at Kentucky and planning to finish his degree in the near future, though he still hopes to keep his pro career going.
