Rodney Rogers played in the NBA from 1993-2005. He won the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year Award in 2000 as a member of the Phoenix Suns.
Over the course of his 12-year NBA career he averaged 10.9 points and 4.5 rebounds.
Last November, Rogers was seriously injured in an ATV accident. He’s been since paralyzed from the shoulders down. TNT’s Chris Webber played with Rogers during the 2005 NBA season, he recently went to visit his former teammate in a very emotional segment that TNT aired about two weeks ago. It’s a tearjearker.
