Roger, who jumped onto the scorer's table, shouted at all the Miami fans, "Goodbye, Florida's second team!"
Hearing this, Micky Arison clutched his chest, feeling a severe blow to his heart.
A billionaire's pride can be hurt too. In Arison's view, the most hurtful things to a man in this world had nothing to do with money, but were these phrases: "Did you get in?", "Let's just go to sleep," "It's okay, you're just tired from work," and "Florida's second team!"
The last phrase was simply too malicious and insulting!
This kind of insult to his dignity was something no amount of money could rectify!
It was an absolutely brutal game—Roger, right under Pat Riley's watch, scored his career's highest single-game points one shot, one ball at a time.
And in securing the victory, he also stripped both Riley and Arison of their dignity.
Arison had always thought that Riley, who harshly pushed his players, was cruel, but unexpectedly someone was even more bloodthirsty!
