Mashburn believed that as long as he worked hard on defending Roger, supplemented with Tim Hardaway's firepower, taking down the Magic would be no problem.
He truly felt that the Heat were terrifyingly strong now.
Roger mercilessly mocked Mashburn, "There's nothing to discuss. Even if I score 50 points over Jamal Mashburn's head, so what? The media will forget it all within a week because he's simply not an opponent worth boasting about. That's the truth. A dimwit who clashes with women and teammates has no place evaluating MVP-level players."
Jamal Mashburn exploded in rage, spewing a barrage of words through the air.
But Roger couldn't even be bothered to waste words with him; he just wanted to focus on preparing, then preserve another home game, and take down another MVP candidate.
When dealing with someone of Jamal Mashburn's caliber, Roger had no desire to waste any more breath.
