"Enough! Everybody shut the hell up!" Roger's shout as he walked into the locker room stopped all the arguments, temporarily restoring peace to the locker room.
Roger once hated Michael Jordan's authoritarian style in the Chicago locker room, but now the authority is Roger himself.
When he tells everyone to shut up, even Erik Spoelstra has to be quiet.
Of course, there are some differences between Roger and Michael Jordan; at least he didn't use his power to mess with his teammates' airline meals.
The conflict temporarily subsides, and Jason Richardson and Allan Houston both walk away without continuing the argument.
But Roger knows the matter is far from over.
As the season progresses, the conflict between Jason Richardson and Allan Houston will intensify, affecting the overall team atmosphere.
