might as well call him an air-breathing, -taking, food-eating Canadian.
From a different angle...
Manu was getting booed a lot in Denver and he actually got a kick out of it. He realized that the louder the fans booed, the more he knew he was doing something right to shut down their team. I'm sure that most players feel the same when they get on the opponents' court.
This is funny, a San Antonian calling another city fat!
Anywho, I think this topic is dead as a doornail, but "booing" is actually respect for the opposing team.
The worst thing to meet you in an arena is silence. That means the fans don't give two craps about you.
I would boo them, mercilessly.
From the games I attended in SA during the 90's, I remember booing the Lakers, the Jazz, the Rockets, the Suns, the Blazers, and the Magic when Shaq was there. I booed them when they got introduced, when they entered the game, when they left the game, when they got a towel, when they got gatorade...etc.
I remember once while I was on a dance team we were not allowed to boo at the opposing team. Now that it is over and I am a regular fan I have quite a lot of repressed boos itching to get out.
And so help me God I will boo when I want, where I want, and as much as I want. If you don't like the booing then don't go to the games or better yet don't watch.
One more thing that really bothers me is that you said that you told your friends how great San Antonio people were. What happened during the game? Did they boo you and you got your feelings hurt when we didn't live up to YOUR perfect expectations? Why are you trying to show off to other people anyways? Do you need other people's approval?
It seems like you have some sort of complex.....
Instead of posting all of your anger, frustration and insecurity here on the forum you should go get that complex checked out.
[QUOTE=Summers]Yes, they were. It was probably an ABC thing, not an SBC thing.
Exactly. It was ABC and the NBA, same with the opening entertainment - network and league choices. Had nothing to do with the Spurs nor the SBC Center. I have nothing against Will Smith (although I think he's a better actor than singer), but if it had been the Spurs' and SBC Center choice, I'm sure the talent would have been local (good grief, George was at the game!).
Exactly. Booing is a compliment (although back-handed), no matter who's doing the booing or who's getting it. It indicates respect and a certain amount of fear. No matter who.
That is my husband's favorite part of the evening :LOL
