Thus, Kobe Bryant ended up being the "closest person to defeat Roger."
It seems this is the biggest achievement of his career.
The Finals ended at Game 6, and the Lakers couldn't even push the Warriors to a Game 7 like they did last season.
In fact, Roger believes this year's Lakers are stronger than last season.
The addition of Shawn Marion and Caron Butler made the Lakers' fragile wings much tougher.
If Matt Barnes' pass had been half a second slower at the last moment, the game might have had a different outcome, and a Game 7 might have been inevitable.
Fortunately, the hound knows how to assist the King.
Watching the confetti rain down in celebration of the Western Conference champion, Roger looked up, spread his hands, and let some confetti fall into his palms.
His right index finger was already swollen and deformed, his ribs ached unbearably, and his whole body was exhausted.
In front of him, Kobe Bryant limped up: "Congratulations."
"Thank you."
