And don't let Nike's reputation hit the floor!
Jordan has already had problems, and as Nike's new hope, Penny absolutely cannot be completely dominated by Roger!
Before the match started, the camera panned to Larry Miller in the stands. As per the custom of American sports broadcasting, when a celebrity is spotted, they linger on them for an extra moment and then display their name and profession at the bottom of the screen.
And so, all of America knew that it was this old guy who originally gave up on Roger to sign Penny.
Larry Miller stared intently at the court, hoping that Penny's promise to lead the team into the playoffs wasn't just talk.
O'Neal helped the Magic win the jump ball, and guarding Roger was Sprewell.
Last season, it was over Sprewell that Roger became the youngest player in NBA history to score 40 points in a game.
So today, Spree was defending with all his might. He didn't want to be someone else's poster, he too, wanted to sign a big contract like Penny.
