"Good morning, Chicago, I believe you've all heard the sad story. Lost to the Knicks? No no no, I'm talking about Michael Jordan, our hero, who had his orbital bone shattered by Roger on the night of his jersey retirement ceremony!"
Here's how it went down: after the game between the Bulls and the Knicks that evening, Michael found Roger, who was practicing extra, and they had a friendly one-on-one.
However, according to those present, as the game went on, the two competitive gentlemen's movements started to get larger and larger.
Eventually, during a defensive play, Michael elbowed Roger in the face. On the next defensive opportunity, Roger accidentally elbowed Michael in the left eye.
