Attention Verizon Center Fans
2008-05-01 08:08:00 When LeBron pays a visit to D.C. tomorrow night it’s time to step it up a notch. Forget simply booing. In honor of Brendan Haywood’s outstanding thespian performance I encourage all fans to serenade LeBron with their best impression of a 2-year-old’s tantrum every time he touches the ball. You could take it easy with a simple “Waaa, Waaa,” or you could be hardcore and go into full blown toddler wailing. Ideally, an unique taunting sound will emerge—something along the lines the old Larry Murphy “Whoop, Whoop” turkey call. Every time LeBron steps foot in Washington I want his ears to let him know exactly what city he’s in. Is LeBron actually acting like a baby? Only slightly. But when a guy lightly hits himself in the face with Darius Songaila’s arm and staggers backward like he just took a haymaker from Clubber Lang, he deserves more than just boos.
