Guy Rodgers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guy William Rodgers (born September 1, 1935 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a former pro basketball player. He spent twelve years (1958-1970) in the NBA playing for several teams, but is mostly known for his time with the Philadelphia Warriors (later San Francisco Warriors) as Wilt Chamberlain's sidekick.
Rodgers was the point guard on the 1964 Warriors team that made the NBA finals but eventually lost the series to the Boston Celtics four games to one. In 1966 Rodgers was selected by the Chicago Bulls in the expansion draft. Rodgers played the 1966/67 season in Chicago and was named NBA All-star. That season, Rodgers handed out 908 assists, to this day a Chicago Bulls single-season record. With four games played in the 1967/68 season, Rodgers was traded to the Cincinnati Royals. After finishing the season in Cincinnati, Rodgers moved to Milwaukee and joined the Bucks for his two final seasons.
