David Stern always gets booed because of the pervasive perception in the Basketball-watching world that he runs an unresponsive and, at worst, corrupt league. Fans' biggest complaint is about refereeing: the refs in the NBA have too much control over games, are not allowed to use instant replay to check the accuracy of most calls, repeatedly make bad calls, favor certain players/teams, and are seemingly exempt from criticism. When coaches or players criticize them, they get fined. To many fans, it appears that star players like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, etc., are allowed to commit violations that other players would be called for, especially palming the ball and charging, and benefit from very tight calls in their favor. David Stern has repeatedly dismissed any concerns about the refs in a manner that denies what is obvious to most fans--this attitude makes people question his motives and integrity. I am booing him right now!
