"Hey buddy, how about you just wing it next game, and let me snag the FMVP?"
Is that possible?
Would winning the FMVP that way mean anything?
O'Neal really wanted that FMVP, but this time, even though he had a good relationship with Roger, he absolutely couldn't say it outright.
He could only fight for it in his own way.
Everyone has their own method of vying for the FMVP, and Shaq was no exception.
The next day's finals Game 4 was more intense than people had expected, and a stubborn team like the SuperSonics, even if they were out of ammo, would still fight to the death barehanded against their opponents.
1996 was undoubtedly the pinnacle for the SuperSonics, both in terms of the lineup and their mentality, and it was a height they never reached again after that.
