As an athlete, Roger is undoubtedly a good leader, a good athlete."
4 to 0, O'Neal has already hung his head.
Having known O'Neal longer, Anthony Bowie, who had given up jersey number 14 for Roger, also stood up:
"When the new season training camp started, while Roger was leading us in training, you were enjoying fried shrimp, egg yolk sauce, hamburgers, and fried chicken, leading a bunch of brothers to Las Vegas, showing up at the strip club at three in the morning. Then, you took all that for granted. There's a saying that what you repeatedly do shapes who you are. Shaq, if it were you, who would you choose to follow? I vote for Roger."
5 to 0, the numbers were starting to look cruel.
What made O'Neal ashamed was that he could not refute any of the things his teammates were saying!
Then, more and more people stood up. Their standards for "who is the leader" differed, but one thing was strikingly consistent— they all felt Roger was more like the real leader of the team.
