Sergio Rodriguez has had to follow a long and winding road to becoming a Philadelphia 76ers point guard. After a few years of riding the bench for various NBA squads in the late 2000s, Rodriquez became a perennial All-Star, and EuroLeague MVP for Real Madrid Spain, his hometown team. While he could have stayed in Spain and continued his international dominance, he instead chose to follow the life changing money of the NBA’s new TV deal, signing an eight million dollar one-year deal with the 76ers.
In his first season with the Sixers, Rodriguez has already started more games at point guard (30) then in his last five NBA seasons combined (22).
