Roger's performance at the press conference completely stripped Jordan of any respect, and his teammates all praised him for it.
Before this, they had always been on the receiving end of Jordan's tirades. But this time, someone finally stood up to vent their anger at Jordan on behalf of the team.
They had never experienced anything so exhilarating before.
Roger realized that he had arrived at what could be called an "Anti-Mike League."
When they won against the defending champions, everyone was just a bit joyful, but taking a dig at Jordan sent everyone into overdrive.
In other words, Roger had found the locker room's sweet spot; he knew how to get these guys pumped up.
At the same time, Roger had also hit a sore spot for Jordan.
Why did he come back? Because he desperately wanted to win, and he couldn't bear the thought of someone else taking his place—someone who showed him no respect, no less.
But after his comeback, he lost even more miserably than on the baseball field!
