Former NBA star Rodney Rogers has passed away at the age of 54, leaving behind a legacy of power, perseverance, and Pro Humanitate spirit. Rogers spent 12 years in the NBA and won the Sixth Man of the Year award, following an illustrious college career at Wake Forest University. The university's Vice President and director of athletics, John Currie, remembered Rogers as a transformative player who propelled the Demon Deacons basketball team to new heights. Rogers' personal life, however, was marked by a devastating ATV accident in 2008, which left him paralyzed from the shoulder down. Although his wife Faye shared the news of his passing on TMZ, she did not disclose the exact cause of death. Faye Rogers did mention the accident, which has been a defining aspect of her husband's life since then. In a statement, Wake Forest University remembered Rogers as a towering figure who embodied the true meaning of courage, generosity, and Pro Humanitate spirit. The university's tribute to Rogers highlights his impact on the program, which he helped elevate to one of the nation's premier basketball teams in the 1990s. As the 'Durham Bull' during his prep career, Rogers brought the same power and relentlessness to Winston-Salem, leaving behind an enduring legacy that will be remembered for generations to come.
