    Sadly, Rogers isn’t the only one from his 1993 draft lottery class that experienced post career paralysis. Shawn Bradley also suffered a traumatic spinal cord injury and is now quadriplegic.

    I know he had a solid NBA career, but what I really remember is how much of an absolute beast he was in college. ACC ROY as a freshman and POY as a senior.

    He gets interviewed in this doc, it's worth a watch

    RIP

    This moment was Reggie Miller in the Garden before Reggie was in the Garden. This was against a very good Jazz team. I also love the story of rookie Rodney talking trash to Larry "hasn't hit a shot since 84" Bird.
