"I wanted [Jason Terry] to play with Kevin [Garnett]. I wanted Courtney [Lee] to see how Paul [Pierce] likes to play. I wanted Paul and Jeff Green to go at each other," Rondo told Yahoo! Sports.

No other leader in the NBA that we know of,  has put together a practice to put new team members together. We've heard of players doing it in years past, but it's more of a story for one reason.
