Kendall Gill is a boxer? Jamaal Magloire smokes weed? Ed O'Bannon sells cars(Wow, those fuckers at deadspin are organized...)? Jason Kidd's kids are unequivocally scary (This makes me a bad person)?

Selected 22nd overall in the 1996 NBA Draft out of the University of Alabama, Rogers spent three years in the NBA. In 137 career games with four teams (Vancouver, Boston, Toronto and Denver), Rogers averaged 4.8 points and 3.5 rebounds. Rogers also played four seasons (2000-04) of professional basketball internationally, in Russia, Italy, Greece and Poland.
