Is It OK for Fans to Boo NBA Commissioner?

With the NBA Draft coming and going Thursday night, we have reflected on some of the top picks, including the University of Kentucky and the University of North Carolina (UNC) tying each other's first round picks total with four overall. Who was present at the NBA Draft as is the case every year? Long-time NBA Commissioner David Stern.

But that's not all. Who received the most boos Thursday night as the draft was broadcasted on ESPN and NBA TV? NBA Commissioner David Stern. And why exactly would fans boo Stern? Maybe they're mad the draft was held at the Newark, NJ Prudential Center instead of the prestigious Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Maybe there's more NJ Nets than we thought, as the draft was held in the team's old home before moving to Brooklyn. Perhaps the people there just happen to be Jim Rome fans and were mad at Stern for asking the popular radio host if he "still beats his wife." Or maybe those fans all think the referees stink and want Stern to overhaul the league's officiating with new employees that aren't senior citizens. Whatever the case may be, David Stern isn't a popular man these days.
