Roger proved himself to be the best in the league, the best of his era. Neither Tim Duncan nor any other "Jordan's Successor" could change that. For the next decade, it would be hard for anyone to change that. — Lenny Wilkens praised Roger's performance today.
"I told him to watch Roger play in the second half closely. Feel it with his heart, think about it with his brain, and listen with his ears." — Lenny Wilkens explained his decision to keep Stevie Smith on the bench in the second half.
"God, 50+10. Do you know what that means? Those stats are enough for me for an entire season!" — Big Ben was amazed by Roger's performance.
"They simply insulted the sport of basketball! What did I say? They would definitely attack my player, look, look, isn't that so! The Hawks have absolutely no sportsmanship, no sense of honor! People like Bruce Bowen should be thrown in jail!" — Gregg Popovich furiously criticized Bowen's rough foul on Duncan in the final moments.
