No longer fond of joking around, no longer greeting each other with intimacy.
The day before yesterday, Roger suggested going to a movie together in the evening, but Shaq declined. In the past, Shaq would never have passed up such fun and games.
Of course, they still talked and still referred to each other as brothers.
Yet, it was like playing sports while wearing protective gear. No matter how thin the brand, you could still feel that barely visible barrier.
Shaq got up to take a shower, Roger grimaced and didn't think too much about it.
Maybe it was just his own illusion.
After all, why would Shaq have any reason to dislike him?
Roger had secured a big contract for Shaq, making him a championship center during his time with the Magic.
Maybe Shaq hadn't changed at all, just became more focused and mature.
Roger felt he knew Shaq well enough, and Shaq was definitely not the type of person Penny was.
