The New York Knicks acquired Rodriguez last season from the Sacramento Kings as part of the three-team deal that brought former scoring champion Tracy McGrady to New York in February.

Rodriguez, known as “Spanish Chocolate” because of his flashy passes, spent the first three years of his career with the Portland Trail Blazers. He teamed with fellow Spaniard Rudy Fernandez to develop a signature baseline alley-oop before being sent to the Sacramento Kings at the beginning of the 2009-10 season.

Rodriguez put up 7.4 points and 3.4 assists in 27 games while in New York and averaged 4.3 points and 2.9 assists during his four seasons in the NBA.

Rodriguez was a member of Spain‘s world championship-winning team in 2006 and will represent the country in this year’s World Championships of Basketball held in Turkey.
