Champion Creed-Chapter 953 - 312: You and I have at least one common goal (ask for monthly votes!)

This summer’s transfer market is expected to be hotter than the temperature.

Shaquille O’Neal, Paul Pierce, Roger... rumors about these three alone would be enough to sustain all sports media across America during any summer.

And this summer, all three of them are making moves simultaneously.

For the media and fans, it’s practically a feast. In this era when the internet is starting to become popular, all forums related to basketball are experiencing their first round of survival of the fittest. Those forums with inadequate servers are crashing due to the huge influx of traffic these days.

After snapping out of his goodbye mood, Roger officially began his journey of seizing opportunities, with the first stop in the Big Apple.

New York fans during this period have demonstrated the meaning of "if you think a big-chested, round-bottomed, pretty woman must not be a good woman, it only proves you’ve never had that woman."

When Roger was playing for other teams, New York fans called him a devil, bastard, the most damnable person in the world.

At Madison Square Garden, there was even a unique chant known as "Fuck Roger."

New Yorkers had valid reasons for hating Roger so much; after all, the entire 90s’ blood and tears history of the New York Knicks is a record of Roger’s massacres.

Roger destroyed the New York Gang led by Pat Riley and took down the Super Knicks spearheaded by Michael Jordan and Patrick Ewing.

And since Jordan was beaten into retirement, the New York Knicks have never bounced back, even until now.

You could totally say it’s Roger who turned the Knicks into this sorry state.

So, no fans in the League hate Roger more than New Yorkers do.

But now, when Roger might descend upon New York, the attitude of all New York fans has changed.

The street interview results from ESPN are absolutely laughable.

"Michael Jordan couldn’t save New York, but Roger can! All of New York knew Roger was a better player than Michael Jordan six years ago!"

"New York has been Roger’s territory since ancient times, haven’t you forgotten? Before he became the Savior of Atlanta, he had a nickname as the Mayor of New York!"

"Why hate Roger? New York is a very inclusive city, don’t mention Roger is Asian, don’t say Roger defeated us, even if Roger were a transgender homosexual, he would be welcomed here."

"Nemesis? No, no, no, no such thing, long live the unity of people worldwide!"

Even the black director Spike Lee, who once clashed with Roger at Madison Square Garden, appeared in front of cameras wearing a custom Knicks No.14 jersey: "I love Roger!"

The reaction of New York fans really has stunned all of America, but it also shows Roger’s charm and influence.

For an ordinary star player coming to New York, seasoned New York fans may not react in such a way.

But Roger? It’s a blessing to be able to cheer for him.

Roger went to New York, and before meeting James Dolan, countless commercial endorsements had already come his way. This shows the commercial value of New York.

But Roger decided to postpone these commercial deals, waiting until he meets James Dolan to make decisions.

The first meeting with James Dolan lasted less than 10 minutes, but this person, reputed to be "the worst franchise owner in history," left quite a deep impression on Roger.

When Roger, Eric Fleisher, and James Dolan walked into the lobby of Madison Square Garden Entertainment Company’s headquarters, a security guard looking at Dolan and Roger appeared shocked, frozen in place, forgetting what to say.

At that moment, James Dolan, without warning, erupted in rage; though only 167 cm tall with a protruding belly, he instantly seemed like a murderous penguin, striding towards the security guard who was staring at him and Roger: "Damn it! What’s your name, which department do you belong to!?"

The surroundings fell silent immediately, no one dared to breathe heavily, all eyes fixed on their boss.

The security guard’s expression shifted from shock to fear, stutteringly stating his name.

James Dolan stepped forward, fiercely poking the security guard’s chest with his finger: "Didn’t I say that security should respectfully greet me or important guests? Why are you staring at us dazedly!? Let me tell you, Liris, if this happens again, you’re damn well going to take off your uniform and get out!"

After shouting, perhaps realizing he lost composure in front of Roger, James Dolan took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket, wiped his sweat, took a deep breath, and forced a smile: "Come on, Roger, don’t mind; let’s go to the office and talk." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Roger glanced at Eric Fleisher beside him; Fleisher shrugged, not surprised by James Dolan’s recent behavior.

James Dolan’s advocated "fear culture" in the NBA circles is quite famous.

Even though he’s only 167 cm tall, in this world of giants in basketball, James Dolan always considers himself a fighter.

He likes to create a "fear culture" in his team to showcase his iron-handed approach.

He doesn’t want to be the kind of boss who mingles with employees; he wants everyone to know their position and what they should be doing.

He’s never soft on employees; when the Isaiah Thomas harassment incident occurred later, what’s the first thing James Dolan did? It was firing the poor woman who was harassed.
