095: What he wants is more than just victory (Vote for me monthly!)_2

"Because I haven't achieved my goal yet, my goal isn't just to win an Eastern Conference final, but to get the championship and then smash the trophy over Michael Jordan's head, making him nod his head like pounding garlic as he hands over the crown, making it impossible for him to utter that I'm the runner-up anymore."

There's no invasion more direct and brutal than this.

Ordinary people would at most aim to "win the championship", but Roger laid it all out, even for what comes after.

Even in the player-hostile environment of the '90s, this kind of response was extremely aggressive.

But is there anything left between Roger and Jordan that needs to be covered up?

It's just like how the Celtics and the Lakers never pretended to be friendly towards each other.

This is a war over historical status.

Jordan had nothing to say about it; he was a seasoned hunter, fully aware that this is just the cruel nature of the basketball jungle.
