Everyone present stood up cheering; Roger left them more than just twelve championships.
For Amar'e Stoudemire, the most valuable thing Roger left him was "Hold your head up high, Amar'e."

For Michael Reed, the most precious thing Roger left was "Fear is the greatest enemy."
For Paul Pierce, the most precious thing Roger left was "Be arrogant in victory, and maintain grace in bitter times."
For an ordinary fan like Andy, the most precious thing Roger left was the courage to confront the world.
