The basketball world has lost one of its 1990s stars. Former college basketball player Rodney Rogers has passed away at 54. Rogers, a Durham, North Carolina native, stayed local for college, attending Wake Forest in 1990 and winning Rookie of the Year. After the ’93 season, he declared for the draft. He went to the Denver Nuggets, who had the 9th pick. After a few seasons, he was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, where he played until 1999. Then he signed with the Phoenix Suns, which revived his career and earned him Sixth Man of the Year honors. He’d finish out his career with stints as a Boston Celtic, New Jersey Net, New Orleans Hornet, and Philadelphia 76er before retiring in 2005.
