Roger stormed into the general manager's office, where general manager John Gabriel and equipment manager Jacob Diamond were discussing work-related matters.
Seeing Roger enter, Gabriel, who was sitting and talking with someone else, stood up.
The adult world is just that realistic; your value determines how others treat you, and they don't mind changing their attitude right in front of you.
"Roger, is something the matter?"
Roger first looked towards Jacob Diamond, the equipment manager with whom both Shaq and Roger had a good relationship, "Jacob, sorry to take a few minutes of your time," then Roger handed a copy of the "Orlando Sentinel" to Gabriel, "John, have you read the newspaper? What's going on here?"
John Gabriel took the newspaper, very calmly: "A dancer claims Shaq's leg is only 10 centimeters long? Hahaha, this news is pretty funny. Tell me it's not true, Roger."
Roger didn't laugh: "You know that's not what I'm talking about."
