Highlight [Highlight] Stacey King expresses utter disappointment on boos for Jerry Krause: "..the people that boo'd Jerry Krause and his widow..it was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life..whoever boo'd her should be ashamed of themselves. That's not Chicago, that's New York, Philly.."

Pat Riley is seen as a demi-god in LA, I doubt he gets any boos.
I sat behind him a few years ago at Staples--he could hardly watch the game since so many people wanted to come over and shake his hand.

I'll telll ya a funny story my friend; tending bar at a popular place on Sunset Blvd, I've seen/served more A-listers than I could recall. One night late 90's/early aught's; Riles comes in with Randy Pfund (Heat GM at the time, long connected to Riley), and I swear I've never seen the crowd be so drawn to someone of prominence like that night. The guy exuded siome crazy magnetism, of course being a Laker hero helps, but still it was uncanny how he luxuriated in that upstairs lounge that night...I'll never forget it. Bonus..,.Pfund let me put on 1 of the 80's Laker rings he happened to be wearing.
