The unrestrained number one pick Allen Iverson also talked about that time when he was on a TV show:
"I've never seen an athlete as competitive as he is, he always took the initiative to guard me every time we played, and he took it really seriously. I mean, we were just playing a match in between shooting a movie, it wasn't about the championship, not about winning or losing, there wasn't even an audience. But he still guarded me earnestly every round, trash-talking me. He was like a monster who had been so afraid of losing in his past life that in this life he developed an obsessive desire to win."
However, although Roger was fierce on the court, he was really nice to all of us off it."
The comments from these stars inadvertently caused Roger's popularity and personal charm to skyrocket.
Who wouldn't like a star who takes the game seriously, has a strong desire to win, but is kind and approachable off the court?
