The drama at Lower Merion High School made Jerry Stackhouse furious.
He couldn't understand why nobody went to confiscate all those damn one-on-one videos!
In this regard, the Adidas team really wasn't as smart as Nike.
Stackhouse had become a complete clown in the eyes of Philadelphians, and his hatred for Roger escalated once again.
At this time, Stackhouse wasn't the only one troubled by Roger.
"Damn it, who can get that damn newspaper out of Orlando for good!?"
Rich DeVos thundered in his office, with a shredded copy of the "Orlando Sentinel" on his desk.
The poll about whether Roger "deserves the highest salary in history" infuriated him.
It massively hindered his plans to drive a hard bargain.
DeVos had promised to offer Roger a contract slightly higher than Ewing's, but that was because he thought the Knicks would offer Ewing a salary of around 12 million at most.
In that case, he only needed to offer Roger 12.5 million to retain him and save face.
