Roger was insinuating that Duncan's championship had less value and reminding him, "You've never beaten me!"
Duncan turned and left with a dark look, now understanding why everyone advocated not trash-talking Roger.
Roger watched Duncan storm off with a sense of accomplishment.
First it was "The future is yours" and now it was "win a real ring."
Roger, a die-hard fan of the GOAT, had truly avenged the GOAT in this timeline.
After the game, Hannah surprisingly didn't go to interview Roger but instead interviewed Paul Pierce, who had just made national news a month ago.
"Paul, just a month ago, you had a severe accident. But today, you stood on the court and defeated the defending champion. We know that almost all doctors thought you couldn't play this season. We can also see that the scars on your face and neck are still very visible.
What inspired you to return to the court so soon? Can you share it with us?"
