Fans of the Philadelphia pro sports teams are well known for holding their teams and its players to tough standards.
Those fans once booed a man dressed up as Santa Claus, and booed Shawn Bradley when he played for the Philadelphia 76ers -- and when he played against the Sixers. They also booed Donovan McNabb when he was drafted by the Eagles, while Philadelphia Flyers fans booed Alaska governor Sarah Palin when she dropped the ceremonial first puck at a 2008 game.
Dallas center Nerlens Noel, however, believes he’ll escape the wrath of the Philly fans on Friday night at 6 when the Mavericks (29-38) face the Sixers (24-43) at Wells Fargo Center.
