They Booed David--Not Dwyane

As I watched the final game of the 2006 NBA Finals, I had a feeling that the Miami Heat would win it. They seemed to want it more. So, after averaging over 30ppg, is it any surprise that Dwyane Wade is the MVP of the playoffs?
The Dallas Mavericks fans were understandably upset, disappointed after the game, especially when commissioner David Stern came out to announce that this years playoff MVP was not a member of the Mavs.
I heard a lot of booing as Mr. Stern went up there to read the verdict in front of a packed arena, but I chalked it up to the aforementioned dissapointment of the fans. Then, as Dwyane Wade accepted the MVP trophy, the booing came to an abrupt end. To my surprise, Maverick fans were cheering for the man that single-handedly stole the championship from their beloved team. One can only draw one conclusion: People were booing David Stern, and not Dwyane Wade.
So whether or not fans were accepting the fact that they are witnesses to the "Air Apparent" is debatable, but one thing is for sure: Fans are fed up with the downfall of the NBA, and were showing their dissatisfaction--in front of millions of viewers--by booing the commisioner. Thoughts?
