Such a good dude. I worked on his house once. And he was so happy to talk basketball, so joyful, Rodney even gave me a 1996 NBA allstar hat. Thanks for making this one... Can you do Rasheed Wallace, maybe hit on his techs and his personality.

U just took a guy that was big and who could dunk and said Zion, naw man just my opinion let zion be one of one in nba history 285lbs....45 to 47 inch vertical post game, decent shot, good defensive intangibles ect I like the comparison bruh it's fun to see but not enough to make a video if zion stay healthy and progress how we all envision he wouldn't have to travel to 5 or 6 different teams like rodney did a talent like zion your locking him in for the long haul

Man shout out to rodney Rodgers man

The Durham Bull will always be a legend

The last great tweener till Zion. Great player @ WF. It's crazy how much WF underachieve with the great players they had during this span. Rogers, Childress, Duncan, Paul and couple of others. Great content!!!

I hadn't thought of Rogers as a comparison for Zion! Great one

Good looking on this video JC! I didn't know Rodney Rogers was in an accident. Hope he walk again. God Bless him.

Rodney Rogers stay up my brother much love to you

Man , i loved this one. I patterned my whole game after him , i never got the height and went with football. Rodney still had a good career. Its funny you called the era "Grown Man Era" lol , when i played i used to say i play Man Ball. Thank you 4 taking me back playboi!!

People forgot how much a monster Rodney Rogers use to be. Monster in college and solid player in the league. His accident was gut wrenching but the way he has continued to fight, show strength,and inspire the youth and people in general shows how much of a bull he truly is.

He along with Randolph Childress caused me to fall in love with Basketball and The Demon Deacons. RR’s 360 in game dunks blew my 10 or 11 year old mind 😂. He was a program changer without question . I can’t wait for my Deacs to be good again . RR is a great person and I wish him and his family the best. Your videos are awesome man . I enjoy them a great deal.

Stunted growth 1- he got injured, thats it

You hit every point on the money, that era was nothing to play with. That '93 draft class is legendary in my opinion..I remember being so hyped about getting the '93 Skybox set because of that deep rookie class. Also my family Terry Dehere was in that class & you should do one on him. From the legendary St. Anthony's to putting Seton Hall on the map during one of the toughest Big East era's!! Salute fam, I said before that this channel will grow & you're heading there bro!!

Man thank you so much for what you do for the culture during these tough times. I remember when I first seen double r at Wake Forest and loved his game in the league. I felt so bad for him when that accident happened prayers for his family. His story will forever be told

Facts man, appreciate you.

Being from N.C. Rodney Rogers is one of the best to ever come through our state. He was a STUD!

I was just a kid and Rodney was at my basketball camp. He dunked the ball and broke the goal. Glass flew everywhere and we jumped and screamed! Rodney sign a piece of the broken glass and gave it to me. Thank you for that Rodney. Real good dude foreal.

It’s 3:39am East coast time and I’m watching your content 2 years after you released it! That’s powerful content! I watch your videos every single day since I’m new to the page (only been a sub for 6 months or so), so I get to catch up on your older vids like this and binge watch. Thanks for your dedication!

thats cray i never knew rodney was in a wheelchair i remember him having thaat strroke from the 3 point line plus he made it to the finals too so he wasnt no regular player,its messed up to see him in that situation more power to rodney rogers.

I would like to see a story on Brandon Roy

I think most people expected Rogers to have the kind of career he had. People were trying to compare him to Barkley but nobody thought he was going to be on that level. I think his career was really solid. Winning 6th man is not easy. Shoutout to Mr Rogers! Still have your rookie card homie.

I remember when I worked as a Sports Director at a radio station in Pueblo Co, Rodney and a teammate came to our station to promote the Nuggets on our station. He was a wonderful human being. Very gregarious and outgoing. Signed a bunch of jerseys. So sorry of his tragedy. Great guy.

This is some damn good content lol

I have my NUGGETS 54 ROGERS jersey. I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. My Dad unexpectedly passed away in 2003, and life hasn't been the same for me since. Looking at how Rodney Rogers is wealthy, BUT can't enjoy it like I can (I have my eyes, arms, and legs, knock on wood). Rodney Rogers' story puts things into perspective for me.

JC you hit the nail on the head wit this one! I knew I’d seen Zion before but I couldn’t remember who, and you gave it to us-Rodney Rodgers! 👍🏿

Man I’m so glad someone else finally said this!!That was the first thing I thought when I saw Zion.

I played with and against Rodney in Raleigh North Carolina in Highschool and this piece was well done. I also compared him to Zion. He fell off of a 4 wheeler tho. Great job on this.

jeez tough outcome in the end. great perserverance in life. Salute Rodney

I know this is a old one but I'm addicted to this channel rn. Been on a bender this morning 🤣

Addicting videos bro! Very good work!

I rarely subscribe to anything. I subscribed to your channel. Not *just* for this video, but it sure didn't hurt ... sensational work [on all you do].

I always said that Zion was Rodney Rogers 2.0. But I think Zion is a little more explosive and Rodgers was a better shooter. His story to me is a story of perseverance, love, and inspiration. Salute to his wife, lets me know that love is more than a feeling it is a commitment. Respect to Rodgers and his family. Thanks for the video bruh.

I think Zion Williamson reminds me of Paul McPherson built like a tank a lefty and the Vertical to match I think he had something like a 46-48inch vert he went to DePaul with Bobby Simmons and Q-Rich and Steven Hunter you should do Paul next also he use to go toe two toe with Ronnie Fields

If you're from tha Bull 🐂 City & grew up in tha era of Rodney Rodgers then this video is kinda bitter sweet. He was & still is our LEGEND to make it from where he grew up & to make it to the NBA took heart & dedication. The High School gyms would literally be packed & everyone came to see & support Mr. Rodgers the way he played it was clear & evident he was before his time & so yes the comparisons to Zion are there I've heard great basketball minded coaches & players say the same thing. In College he was very dominate & he had carved out one helluva run in the league. I remember growing up purchasing all his NBA cards (still have them to this day) & rocking his Nuggets jersey it was Dope to say one of our own had made it & the sense of pride, hope & dreams he installed in the youths of Durham was a thing of beauty! This is why he was & forever will be our LEGEND! S/O to Stunted growth for putting this together ya definitely earned my sub!!

This is the best comparison to Zion I truly thought cwebb or barley but he's it!! I'm so sorry to his family....

Another banger brotha 💯

Great Video. Superb Basketball Comparison With Zion and Rogers. For Rogers, It sucks to see him the way he is. A guy that was active jumping out the gym now confined to a wheel chair. The statement is true, no one knows what the future holds! That's a good women he has sticking by his side In the Good time$$$$ during his nba career to the bad times with his handicap state.

Wake Forest had some killers. This dude was one of my favorite college players ever. I had his Clippers jersey. Rocking it in the Philly area people were like how the hell you come across that. Ahead of his time, would have been more at home today.

Man. I remember that Clippers team. Mo Taylor was one of my favorite players. Dunno if he has a stunted growth but that'd be a great one to see. I remember wearing a mouth gaurd when I hopped because of Mo.

Bro love this!

That Denver team had Robert Pack, Mahmoud Abdul Rauf as well. Rauf and Rodgers are basically Steph Curry and Zion Williamson of that era. I remember reading somewhere that Robert Pack Told his Mother that she had him to early and that he was born in the wrong era. Robert Pack was a speed guy cost to coast. He went undrafted in the 90s. In todays modern game, He would be a top 5 lottery pick in almost every draft. top ten for sure each year. That right their shows you how much the game changed! The same works today as well! Drummond probably would be a superstar in the 90s but in todays era he just a ok player at best that does not affect the game as he would have if he played in the slow paced half court 90s. Even though I loved 90s ball in the Jordan era, I much prefer todays era from a offensive perspective. Just the fact that Steph Curry and Zion Williamson would be regulated and chained up based on dumb coaches and style of play of the 90s and 2000s of midrange love, hate of 3 pointers, lack of pace and space, lack of a green light, and lack of stretching the floor with a stretch 4 would have made a talent like steph and zion have mediocre to bad careers in the 90s and 2000s. How de we know this? the example is with Rauf and Rodgers. Their only hope would be if they played under Don Nelson or Mike D'Antoni. two guys who are instrumental for todays style of basketball. Just looking at Rauf in College highlights and games and a nba coach not being able to operate a offense like this for him before the flag saga wih Rauf is damn shame. People Vastly underrate coaching. Coaching and tactics definitely can make or break a players career.

Been saying this since Zion was in highschool. Rodney play with my bro with the clippers.

Just looking at this video definitely 100% agree. He would've and could've been much better if he was in today's era where its more versatile.
