Who is Pablo Sebastián Rodríguez?

Pablo Sebastián "Tato" Rodríguez is an Argentine former basketball player. He spent his mostly career at Peñarol de Mar del Plata, club where he played during 15 seasons until September, 2011. Rodriguez was forced to leave the professional activity after he was diagnosed with heart problems.
