I have to go back and look at them again I didn't notice them. Lol
Ha they are huge. Poor earlobes. I'm sure she uses lobe protectors I do. Nothing worse than looking at torn earlobes
There is a very easy solution to end the boos.
PLAY WELL. We all have rough patches in our jobs. We all stumble. He should feel embarrassed these writers are printing excuses for him. People can tell when you want to be there. For that kind of money he needs to put on a PROFESSIONAL front and attitude and play. If he has a mental block, bow out and refocus.
I dont think what khloe wrote was that bad, but this is his area and the focus should be him not her. She needs to be more careful of what she puts out there about him.

I'm pretty sure the Mavs have one on staff.
It's not Khloe's responsibility to police the fans. Khloe's tweets make him look weak + her arguing with fans on twitter isn't helping. Support him in private. He is not the first or last player to get booed. It happens all the time. In fact, it happened to two of Lamar's teammates when he was on LAL + they got booed far worse + for much longer than he has been.
Exactly.
Positivity is great and all, but booing players who do not deliver is part of the game. Always has been and always will be and Khloe's tweets are not gonna change a thing. The fans don't care about Lamar's mental state the way Khloe does. They do acknowledge that he's "emo", down on himself and playing without confidence, but they are not his personal cheerleaders. They will not hold his hand and tell him that everything is gonna get better. (:cryIf he stinks up the court they will let him know it. Now on the other hand, when he has a good / great game, they will let him know it, too.
That's the difference between family and friends in this situation. Family has your back no matter what. With fans, you've gotta earn their respect and support.
And really, I don't blame the Mavs fans. He has done pretty much nothing for them. He was out of shape at the beginning of the season, mentally fragile all along and after 4 months with the team he still hasn't been able to adapt to them. Instead he went on a questionable leave, did not report back to the team as it was originally agreed upon and even (by all acounts) asked to be bought out... Why would they have his back when so obviously does not want to be there?
@Oruka: Yes the Mavs play a totally different ball than the Lakers, but from a player who's been in the league as long as Lamar it has to be expected that he somehow makes it work. And quite frankly, I doubt it's simply the system that's troubling him. It's mostly in his head, imo, and his mental problems have resulted in a lack of effort he's even been called out for by his teammates...
I forgot what else I wanted to write, so Imma stop here.
This is a great post.
Kris has to work that hard. He has no choice. Lamar has more talent in one hand that Kris has all together so he can get away in essence with doing less. By the same vein you could argue if he worked harder, he might be 10x better than he is but when you're already really good naturally it's hard to find inner motivation. Very few people with talent have a Kobe Bryant work ethic that stops them from coasting.
I just posted something similar.
Truth. Like Bzemom said you want the boos to stop? Play better.
Dallas fans (at least one the forums i've read) don't blame him for losses. They blame him for sucking. They know he's not make or break + he alone is not going to win them games, but they also see someone who in their mind is not trying + just moping. They've seen management, the crowd, etc go out of their way for this guy + give the benefit of the doubt and they are sick of it.
The reason they aren't more angry is because they gave up no assets to attain him. At this point they know Carlisle will give him his 20 minutes a game regardless of his play in hopes that he will eventually get back to Lamar of before + cutting down his minutes would damage his psyche even more so they are stuck with him so to speak. Alot want to put Yi in the rotation in Lamar's place but then again know if they are looking to win the title you need the caliber of Lakers Lamar not Yi so it's a double edged sword
The loss of Tyson IMO is killing them.
Those things are huge!!!!Could Kris not find any larger earrings? They put my door knocker to shame!
