The Spurs owner described him as "a child spoiled by his outstanding talent."
Such a Demon Lord of Mayhem naturally wouldn't graciously praise Roger.
However, what was surprising was that even the usually friendly and reserved Drexler had a similar attitude toward Roger: "Rod is right, he's definitely overrated. He can't defend, can't pass, he just happens to be on two exceptionally well-assembled teams, that's all. 50 points? Not to dredge up the past, but I scored 50 points in a single game back in 1989, nothing remarkable about that."
Like Karl Malone, Drexler couldn't accept that a new generation was eagerly eyeing the championship while he still hadn't grasped one himself.
It was as if he couldn't stand being overshadowed by Magic, who was specifically added to the All-Star by Stern because of his HIV status, and snatched his '92 All-Star MVP, commenting, "Everyone knows I'm the real AMVP."
