Supersonics and Hornets returned to Seattle for the fifth game of the semifinals.
Before the game started, David Stern appeared.
He was met with a torrent of boos.
Fans disliked him because everyone knew that the Supersonics could potentially move away and it was this NBA commissioner who wanted it to happen.
But Stern was not someone who hated booing.
Otherwise, the NBA Draft would not have been held at Madison Square Garden for so long.
Tonight, Stern came to Key Arena for only one reason.
He was there to present the MVP trophy for the season to Yu Fei in public.
"What is the Most Valuable Player?" Stern picked up the trophy and said beside Yu Fei, "I believe Frye can fully represent the very meaning of the term. He can not only fill up the stat sheet but also influence the game in his own way, and most importantly, he can decide the rise and fall of a large market."
The fans did not want to listen to Stern's drivel; they just wanted to see Yu Fei lift the trophy.
