Roger always felt that Drexler was not humble, he was just simply a man of few words.
Humility and being reticent are not the same.
It was only after Olajuwon reached maturity that he became truly humble, he was talkative, he blew out three of the other four great centers, but at the same time, he always praised the other three.
Last season's playoffs were full of praise for Roger too.
But Drexler was different, he just liked to keep his words to himself, it didn't mean he was all that humble.
If he was really humble, he wouldn't be so resentful in his autobiography about Magic taking the All-Star MVP and making it into the Dream Team.
In 2003, Carter was reluctant to give up his All-Star starting spot to Jordan, but no matter how reticent, he'd at least put on an act in front of the media, "I'm not reluctant, Michael deserves it."
