Those of us that used to play the Rodney Rogers game - the precursor to the Fred Tedeschi game - feel particularly bad about this terrible news.
You know, it wasn't all that long ago that I was wondering what happened to Rodney Rogers. Now, I wish I didn't know.
Former NBA and college basketball star Rodney Rogers is paralyzed as the result of an all-terrain vehicle accident, his college coach told the News & Observer of Raleigh-Durham, N.C.
Dave Odom, who coached Rogers when he earned All-America honors at Wake Forest and was the 1993 ACC Player of the Year, said Wednesday that his former star is paralyzed from the shoulders down, according to the report.

Really unfortunate turn of events for Rodney Rogers.
I really enjoyed his game and remember him as one of only a handful of players who threw down two handed 360s in games like it was nothing.
The memory is hazy but didn't he put up a 50 once?
Also never being in the headlines for the wrong reasons in a 12 year career says something about the man.
That's a no on the fifty - his high score was 36. You're probably thinking of Tony Delk, who once scored 50 and who was traded alongside Rodney from Phoenix to Boston once.
Rodney did once score 9 points in 9 seconds, though, and that deserves its own post. It's going to get one, too.
