^^Last two sentences.^^

He also had a hard luck story...was handed nothing:

What a shame; I was a fan of duke's game, for a big man he had one of the softest jumpers I've ever seen. Plus he knew how to use his weight when it came to getting busy down low. Prayers go out to Rogers and his fam.

Be careful out there, ya'll. Nothing's promised.

seb, the link didn't yield an article.

that's horrible. i LOVED rodney rogers in college. i alwasy wanted him to be better in the pros, especially when he was with denver. but man that guy had the TOTAL package going in college and certainly had a niche in the pros too, just not as good as i think he could have been.

tough to hear.

That sucks. I guess people should think twice before going on those things. Best wishes to Rodney. He had a fine career.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

That's very sad. If I'm not mistaken, didn't Rodney have some problems with alcohol too?

wow, that is sad, I heard he fell off an ATV, but I didn't know it was that serious.. I really feel sorry for him, Still very young in life. I think he was just 39 and for this to happen has to be tragic..
