Champion Creed
I was not a perfect person, not an easy teammate to get along with, and I could not even be considered a good person at all. However, no one in this world could deny that I was the greatest basketball player, not even God!

This scene undoubtedly left those Nike-affiliated media trying to smear Roger red-faced, perhaps in their mouths, Roger is worthless, but now everyone's honest bodies precisely illustrate Roger's value.
Hard cash doesn't lie, if Roger were really that awful, those teams wouldn't be making such crazy offers for him.
The Dallas Mavericks were willing to trade the newly-acquired Jason Kidd and Jim Jackson for Roger.
But Krause refused, after Michael Jordan's return, the Bulls didn't need that many guards.
He needed big men, he needed forwards, he needed something that could contend with Olajuwon.
The SuperSonics came knocking again, they continued to push out Kemp, but the trade target had shifted from Pippen to Roger.
Krause counteroffered Payton plus Kemp.
Kemp was good, but he was just a chip for trading Pippen. To trade for Roger, they had to raise the price.
