Hate to see it happen, especially to such a great person. He was an awesome Sun, hell he even won the 6th man award here. My prayers go out to you man

That sucks...I really liked Rogers, played that 6th man role perfectly. Also had surprisingly good hops back in his DEN days

That really sucks. He was a good guy. Hopefully its not like a permanant paralasis. Sometimes its just temporary. . . :(

Is it from the neck? Waist?

Either way I've said a prayer for him and his family. I hit my head on the bottom of a pool and came a fraction of a centimeter from being in the same boat. Hopefully after seeing the procedures they preformed on that lineman for the Bills that saved his spine, Rodney can have hope.

My family will never be on an ATV. My best friend in high school was going to ride them professionally and his hand grazed the kill switch as he hit the apex of a mound, preparing to jump. He landed on his head and the four wheeler landed on him. He died almost instantly.

They apparently don't differentiate between a kid or a millionaire. Very very sad.

This really sucks, I remember Rodney when he was on the Suns with Kidd. Poor guy.
