He was booed because he went to LSU and Dale himself personally paid him and Shaq to go there. They neglected to point out that we were both fighting for the SEC West title. They also neglect to include how terrible LSU fans, and others, can be.
Chris went to LSU to try to be the next Pistol Pete. He was from Gulfport and the best I can remember seeing ever in person in college. But he and Shaq got their *** beat that game and another one I think. Play the victim card all you want but LSU lost because State was better and tougher as a team.
No he was not singled out because he was black. He was singled out because he was a great player and the air was not a "air of racism" it was an air of "we will kick your *** on this court with tougher players than you" and screw you for leaving our state to play for that loser coach and loser team you chose.
There was no confederate flag flown at that game, Showtime is race baiting is what this is, another feaux controversy to get viewers to ultimately pay for their service. If Chris would have been white, he would have been hounded EXACTLY THE SAME. In the NBA he went and did the National Anthem protest thing, Showtime is really reaching to connect a story to Chris that just is not there. But I can say that we do like reminding him and Shaq they both lost to State, its very nice to recall that fact.
