You are asking people who were not at the game, who was sitting next to you chanting...
sure, but to a degree, some players will use anything to use for fuel. i think that's what OP was getting at.
i like how is bashing people for making dumb statements.
the irony.

Im sure alcohol had nothing to do with this
I am glad to hear about Spurs fans chanting ANYTHING! We have a pretty lame/lazy home crowd.
Lol, not thaaat "very close" Sportcamper. Thanks for nothing.![]()
Bunch of retirees and military veterans
The younger crowd is composed of spoiled fair-weather Richies staring at their blackberries more than the floor, soon to leave in the 3rd quarter because we are winning. Out of touch with the NBA scene throughout the year.
OF COURSE thats not everyone, there are plenty of true die-hard fans in the crowd yelling their lungs out for the love of the game. But the former just give the latter wierd looks and merely don't get it.
Example: friend of mine was at the S.A. v CLE game and was booing LeBron. Female directly in front of him said quote "BE NICE"
ARE YOU ING KIDDING ME! LEBRON, BE NICE...? HAHA
Yet another example: I person within my family had owned season tickets in the Hemis arena, and the Dome, somewhere between 10-12 row on the bleacher side. When they moved to the SBC Center (AT&T now) she had the ability to sit in the 5th row, but instead dropped her season tickets b/c shes a dumb old person and didn't want to get hit in the head by a basketball, she can afford it, so money couldn't be the primary issue......![]()
Some people man

You should have asked Lebron, I'm sure he was taking mental notes of all the people chanting.
Its sad how much that guy can't stand it when a single nameless fan doesn't like him. He'll have to get used to that now, since it was his own decision to go from the universally liked "home town hero" image to "disloyal super-team ring chaser."
Note: I know every superstar is a "ring chaser" technically, but the way Lebron did it feels more like a Gary Payton/Karl Malone going to a rival team b/c they'd given up on the team they had. A very bizarre thing to see from such young players.
Edit: Took Robert Horry off of my ring chaser list, b/c although he does went to rival teams, he already had rings when he did so.
I'm never a fan of people chanting "overrated" at the opposing team, regardless of who it is or what's on the line, be it nothing, or a championship. To me it gives too much credit to the opposition and not enough to your team. When I was a player/coach I always told my guys to act like they've been there before, and have done it all. Make the other guys think they're not up to your standards. The big dog doesn't have to chant "overrated", because everyone should be "underrated" next to you, and just lucky to be on the same court, licking the soles of your sneakers as you blow by them.
