I’ve always wondered what it must feel like to be on the receiving end of a wave of boos.
In spite of coming from a rather theatrically oriented family, I’ve been fortunate enough to never suffer that particular indignity, but it invariably comes to mind any time the Los Angeles Clippers and The-Forward-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named make their way to the AT&T Center.
I can’t imagine that it feels good. Then again, neither does being ghosted and gaslighted by a would-be franchise icon, so that’s about as far my empathy extends in this case.
Of course, there’s no guarantee that Kawhi Leonard will in fact be making an appearance in San Antonio, in the same way that there’s no guarantee that he’ll make an appearance in more than fifty-percent of Los Angeles’s games this season, so maybe there won’t be any booing after all.
