"I hope neither of these big braggers get in." Roger answered without hesitation.
But a few seconds later Roger added, "But if I have to choose one, I'd rather it be Michael."
"Why?"
"Just think a real player deserves to be in the playoffs more than an actor."
"Then tonight..."
"You expect me to slack off or suddenly have a groin discomfort and take a rest, giving Michael a chance to surpass LeBron in the standings?
Dikembe, many fans saved up for a year just to watch one of my games, I can't just decide to rest. As long as I can play, as long as there's no risk of injury, I'll definitely play. Moreover, if I really throw a win away to let Michael make the playoffs, that would be the biggest insult to him."
He wants to get into the playoffs with his own ability, leave him be.
Also, I got tired of humiliating him in the '90s, no need to insult him like this once more."
Having said that, Roger changed his clothes and went out of the locker room to warm up.
