I was not a perfect person, not an easy teammate to get along with, and I could not even be considered a good person at all.
However, no one in this world could deny that I was the greatest basketball player, not even God!

Champion Creed

Before the Eastern Conference Finals kicked off, the league announced the season's biggest individual award mystery.


Roger won the MVP trophy for the second consecutive year, and the award ceremony was to be held before the start of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.


Karl Malone happily landed the runner-up title for MVP, while the chubby guy who always complained last season that Roger stole all the honors didn't even make it into the top three of MVP voting.


All O'Neal could be grateful for now was that he and the Lakers had also made it to the Western Conference Finals.


Yet, they had to thank Roger for this as well, since the strategy of the Hawks against the SuperSonics, relying on three-pointers, had inspired the Lakers.


The Lakers, following the script, put forth a "One Star and Four Shooters" starting lineup with Eddie Jones, Van Exel, Robert Horry, Rick Fox, and O'Neal.
