David Stern doesn’t like people booing LeBron (http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/01/07/david-stern-doesn%e2%80%99t-like-people-booing-lebron/)
Kurt Helin
...NBA Commissioner David Stern told (http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/david-stern-talks-lebron-james-contraction-tattoos-with-jason-whitlock-010611) Jason Whitlock of Fox Sports he’s no fan of those boos.
I don’t like it. I think that it’s theater. I don’t think he’s really viewed as a villain. I think people love to either love or boo the Yankees. You either loved or booed Kobe and the Lakers. People used to love or hate the old Celtics. I think it will morph into the Heat being one of our really elite teams. And people boo the elite teams when they come into town to beat up on the hometown team….
I don’t mind it if he’s booed in the context of the dominant team he’s playing for. I think that I’m not sure people know exactly what they’re booing. Are they booing because he left Cleveland? Certainly they’re doing that in Cleveland. Are they booing him because it took 18 minutes for “The Decision” to say where he was going? Yeah, probably. Are they booing him because he’s part of a team that people think is too strong for their home team to compete with? Probably more so. And that will fade, and then they’ll boo him because he’s a member of the high-performing Miami Heat.
