The final story of Roger and Tim Duncan was not epic, nor a bloody battle.
4-0, that's the final score Roger delivered.
This seems like punishment from Roger to Duncan, because Duncan is a special rival—he's one of the few players who won against Roger in a series.
Neither Shaq, Kobe, nor Michael Jordan ever achieved this.
But in the end, Duncan has never won anything in Roger's era.
Roger's dominance over him in the 21st century makes that sole victory seem insignificant.
The night after the series ended, Tim Duncan invited Roger to dinner, as a farewell between old rivals.
In a restaurant by the riverside walk in San Antonio, the waiter started serving them after-dinner dessert.
The dessert was carrot cake, a food Roger would usually never eat.
But upon seeing the cake, Duncan was like Charles Barkley spotting a hamburger, or Dwight Howard spotting a girl in need of rescue.
