I loved that guy on our team. I think he was paralyzed from the neck down after an ATV accident in 2008. I wonder if it was complications from that. So sad. R.I.P.

RIP

I'll never forget his 9 points in 9 seconds in Denver. It was pre-Suns and mid 90's so it was a special moment.

I used to work at Staples in North Scottsdale. Rodney Rogers came in fairly frequently for odds and ends and I would ring him up. Was the nicest guy. This is really said

RIP, Rodney.

The Suns have had an extraordinary number of former forwards and centers who have died relatively young - Maurice Lucas, Cliff Robinson, Armon Gilliam, Wayman Tisdale, Alton Ford, Jackson Vroman, Nick Vanos, Oliver Miller, and now Rodney Rogers. It really is a sad coincidence.

I believe we got Joe Johnson in the Rodgers trade to Boston. RIP.

This is heartbreaking. Just a few months older than me.

To go from one of the greatest athletes in the world to full paralysis in 2008 had to be incredibly difficult to overcome. He faced it with the same attitude he had before the accident

RIP. I have watched something similar with one of my military buds and his battle with ALS. No gift is greater than your health

Wow. I didn’t know that. Very sad.

I believe we got Joe Johnson in the Rodgers trade to Boston. RIP.

I believe it was Tony Delk and RR.

I believe it was Tony Delk and RR.

We traded Delk and Rogers to Boston for Joe Johnson and the pick that became Casey Jacobsen.

One of the great trades in Suns history.
