"So let's talk about your role today, your double-teaming on Michael was very timely. How can you always arrive by Michael's side at the first opportunity? How do you anticipate his moves?"
Roger laughed, "It has nothing to do with anticipation; it's all about trust. Because I've been teammates with Scott, I trust him implicitly, without a hint of hesitation. I can trust him completely, throw him into an open spot, and then go double-team Michael. That's the secret to why I'm always able to trap him. Other teams trying to limit Michael could also try trusting Scott, he won't let you down."
The reporters burst into laughter, only God knows how Roger managed to naturally shift the topic to Pippen and roast him without using a single curse word.
"Slam" magazine intern reporter Ben Osborne was attending his first NBA post-game press conference today. He wrote in his first interview piece: "Scottie Pippen will always live in Roger's shadow, and this was just one of those times."
