David Stern opens season with boos
If you haven't seen the report,or if you watched the game. You know Stern was booed during the Dallas game on Christmas. He's booed in almost every arena.
The booing Mavs fans may not have realized they had Stern to thank for getting Lamar Odom to Dallas. Odom was supposed to have been in the Lakers-Hornets deal; when he wasn't, he was so upset that the club didn't want him that he asked to be traded.
After the Dallas-Miami game, Stern went to Oklahoma City for the opener between the Thunder and Orlando. Magic star Dwight Howard is trying to force his way to the team of his preference, just like Paul did. Asked if that was bad for the league, Stern said it's always happened, using Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain as examples.
"That's the beauty of the soap opera," Stern said. "It will play out like it plays out."
Stern had compliments for another superstar he was about to watch, LeBron James.
"I see a level of acceptance and maturity," Stern said. "He's clearly saying he might've said a few things differently, etcetera, and he's going to let his talent do the talking. I think that's pretty exciting because he's got some pretty exciting talent. So we're happy for him and we're looking forward to how the season winds up."
So, how does he expect the season to wind up?
"I said to Mark, 'It's ironic, the most underrated team in the league is the NBA champion,' " Stern said. "I think Dallas has a pretty good roster. ... I said before last season, 'I think we're going to have to play the season. We're not mailing the trophy to Miami.' It turns out, we mailed it to Dallas. We'll see what happens this year -- but Miami really seems formidable with those three superstars."
