I read about it as well but the article was titled "Former NBA Star", no offense but I didn't think he was a star.  This story was on the heels of the Tisdale news that has been widely covered.

Widely covered? Dang, then I wasted the next post?  :-\

Yeah, Rogers had some solid years but definitley not a star.  In fact he probably underachieved some years because he didn't always keep his weight down.

I saw two TV specials about him last week and he was on the front page of ESPN.com.
