To rub his feet in the other players faces, he put his head through the basket gloating all his glory until they demanded to continue playing in hopes of putting Rodney in his place. However, as he drops down, his necklace gets caught in the net and acts like a noose, Rodney broke his neck and in 20 seconds as he died, sending this so-called pro-baller and egotistical bully to hell where he deserves.
