In 20 years, fans will argue passionately over the question of "who is the best player in history."
Is it off-season Ben Simmons? An uninjured Greg Oden? The 196 cm Chris Paul? Or LeBron, who could use scattered titles as a dynasty?
This will be an enduring topic.
But at least in the minds of Atlanta fans right now, there's only one choice for the best player in history, with no need for debate.
Roger's dominant one-on-one play extended the lead to 11 points, an exhilarating moment for Atlanta fans.
Over the past half month, the Detroit Pistons swept through the league with their terrifying defense.
They first defeated the Hawks and then strengthened with the addition of the formidable Rasheed Wallace, turning from a preseason underdog into a team that caught everyone's attention.
But just as their dominance peaked, Roger led the Atlanta Hawks tonight, emphatically proving they still held control over the league.
