Always sad when this happens.

I dont think I could live on in this situation

Tragic news.

I think i'd rather be dead than paraplegic.

An absolute tragedy, and my heart goes out to him and his family ...

BTW Though I have read reports of some people though who have lived and done amazing things with their lifes after being paralyzed, but we although it is a tragic situation, being paralyzed doesn't not neccesarily mean a death sentence, but yes it is very distressing and horrible news.

i was in shock when i read about his plight. was shaking. this is so sad.

i used to use him a bit in nba live back when. loved using his bulk and 3 pt range. if nba live/2k have him on a roster i will active him as an ode to him.

It must be 10X as worse for athletes who are use to pwnzoring people with their bodies.

It says he is paralyzed from the shoulder down which is basically as bad as you can get.

Poor guy

And this is a cliche now, but this type of shit makes us realise how petty basketball is

Won't ever forget that " RIDICULOUS RODNEY ROGERS RIM-ROCKER " left hand putback or his 3 3's in SFA time vs the JAZZ.

Oh man I remember watching Rodney in the '02 vs Nets comeback game - he was our 3 option behind PP and 'Toine. I never even knew this happened. Thanks for posting the vid - pretty awesome stuff.

wrong. RR would've been the 10th option behind PP, toine, toine, toine, toine, toine, toine, toine, toine.

Antoine Walker is the only option, ever.

People who say they would rather be dead than be a paraplegic need to get some perspective.
