Chapter 953: 312: You and I have at least one common goal (ask for monthly votes!)
This sumr’s transfer market is expected to be hotter than the temperature.
Shaquille O’Neal, Paul Pierce, Roger… rumors about these three alone would be enough to sustain all sports dia across Arica during any sumr.
And this sumr, all three of them are making moves simultaneously.
For the dia and fans, it’s practically a feast. In this era when the internet is starting to beco popular, all forums related to basketball are experiencing their first round of survival of the fittest. Those forums with inadequate servers are crashing due to the huge influx of traffic these days.
After snapping out of his goodbye mood, Roger officially began his journey of seizing opportunities, with the first stop in the Big Apple.
New York fans during this period have demonstrated the aning of “if you think a big-chested, round-bottod, pretty woman must not be a good woman, it only proves you’ve never had that woman.”
When Roger was playing for other teams, New York fans called him a devil, bastard, the most damnable person in the world.
At Madison Square Garden, there was even a unique chant known as “Fuck Roger.”
New Yorkers had valid reasons for hating Roger so much; after all, the entire 90s’ blood and tears history of the New York Knicks is a record of Roger’s massacres.
Roger destroyed the New York Gang led by Pat Riley and took down the Super Knicks spearheaded by Michael Jordan and Patrick Ewing.
And since Jordan was beaten into retirent, the New York Knicks have never bounced back, even until now.
You could totally say it’s Roger who turned the Knicks into this sorry state.
So, no fans in the League hate Roger more than New Yorkers do.
But now, when Roger might descend upon New York, the attitude of all New York fans has changed.
The street interview results from ESPN are absolutely laughable.
“Michael Jordan couldn’t save New York, but Roger can! All of New York knew Roger was a better player than Michael Jordan six years ago!”
“New York has been Roger’s territory since ancient tis, haven’t you forgotten? Before he beca the Savior of Atlanta, he had a nickna as the Mayor of New York!”
“Why hate Roger? New York is a very inclusive city, don’t ntion Roger is Asian, don’t say Roger defeated us, even if Roger were a transgender homosexual, he would be welcod here.”
“Nesis? No, no, no, no such thing, long live the unity of people worldwide!”
Even the black director Spike Lee, who once clashed with Roger at Madison Square Garden, appeared in front of caras wearing a custom Knicks No.14 jersey: “I love Roger!”
The reaction of New York fans really has stunned all of Arica, but it also shows Roger’s charm and influence.
For an ordinary star player coming to New York, seasoned New York fans may not react in such a way.
But Roger? It’s a blessing to be able to cheer for him.
Roger went to New York, and before eting Jas Dolan, countless comrcial endorsents had already co his way. This shows the comrcial value of New York.
But Roger decided to postpone these comrcial deals, waiting until he ets Jas Dolan to make decisions.
The first eting with Jas Dolan lasted less than 10 minutes, but this person, reputed to be “the worst franchise owner in history,” left quite a deep impression on Roger.
When Roger, Eric Fleisher, and Jas Dolan walked into the lobby of Madison Square Garden Entertainnt Company’s headquarters, a security guard looking at Dolan and Roger appeared shocked, frozen in place, forgetting what to say.
At that mont, Jas Dolan, without warning, erupted in rage; though only 167 cm tall with a protruding belly, he instantly seed like a murderous penguin, striding towards the security guard who was staring at him and Roger: “Damn it! What’s your na, which departnt do you belong to!?”
The surroundings fell silent imdiately, no one dared to breathe heavily, all eyes fixed on their boss.
The security guard’s expression shifted from shock to fear, stutteringly stating his na.
Jas Dolan stepped forward, fiercely poking the security guard’s chest with his finger: “Didn’t I say that security should respectfully greet or important guests? Why are you staring at us dazedly!? Let tell you, Liris, if this happens again, you’re damn well going to take off your uniform and get out!”
After shouting, perhaps realizing he lost composure in front of Roger, Jas Dolan took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket, wiped his sweat, took a deep breath, and forced a smile: “Co on, Roger, don’t mind; let’s go to the office and talk.”
Roger glanced at Eric Fleisher beside him; Fleisher shrugged, not surprised by Jas Dolan’s recent behavior.
Jas Dolan’s advocated “fear culture” in the NBA circles is quite famous.
Even though he’s only 167 cm tall, in this world of giants in basketball, Jas Dolan always considers himself a fighter.
He likes to create a “fear culture” in his team to showcase his iron-handed approach.
He doesn’t want to be the kind of boss who mingles with employees; he wants everyone to know their position and what they should be doing.
He’s never soft on employees; when the Isaiah Thomas harassnt incident occurred later, what’s the first thing Jas Dolan did? It was firing the poor woman who was harassed.
