Thought it was funny that Bordow even commented on the potential mess in the Lakers locker room.

I've seen fans here boo KJ in his prime because he wasn't playing well.
That is not true!

I didn't like that KJ, the Point Guard, predictably drove the lane every time with the game on the line and, predictably, got blocked.

Chuck called him Franchise, Jr., to remind him, rightfully so, that the primary scorer was in town and KJ's role was not to hog the ball.

KJ got booed because of his personal antics with children in the bedroom, not because of how he was playing.

I was 8, 9, 10 years old back then. I didn't have a clue about KJ in the bedroom with kids but I can tell you for certain that all of the kids I did know who were Suns fans booed KJ because of his play, not some rumors. I never even heard those allegations until he was retired. You simply cannot speak for the entire fanbase about why a player was booed.

I'm not sure how to respond, Poop. "All the kids who were Suns fans booed."? "8, 9 ,10 years old."?

Oh, OK! :)

What did you claim? Do I really need to spell it out because you're acting like a juvenile idiot right now? Did I say every kid in the world boo'ed him? No, I didn't. I said all of the Suns fans I knew didn't boo him because of the alleged bedroom antics he was linked to. You said...

I bolded it for you, you said that @Finito was lying, essentially, in his statement about fans booing KJ because of his play. That's false. How you can claim to speak for all Suns fans and then try to talk down to me when I point out your faulty logic?

That is 100% bullsh!!t

Kevin Johnson was booed after and during game 2 of the NBA finals and Barkley said if your booing KJ we don't need you as Suns fans because without him we wouldn't even be here.

And that's how that happened!

That stuff with him being a total creep didn't come out till years after he was done playing.

agreed. That's complete and utter horse-manure @BC867 .

and here's the article from the Chicago Tribune after Game 2 to prove it.

Huh? The alleged rumors were not even common knowledge until after he was gone?!?!!? I went to a ton of season games over Barkley's tenure (including almost all the home playoff games). KJ was booed a couple times that I recall. However, if people are saying KJ was booed on a regular basis it is bull crap. He was not regularly booed by Suns fans (kids or adults).

One of my very good friends back in college always claimed she regularly 'hooked up' with KJ in the 90s when she was in HS...not verifiable, but she was pretty adamant and her storie has remained the same all this time. Still, KJ is one of my all time favorite Suns.

1 - isn't KJ married to an Asian lady?

2 - wasn't the New Times article some time in the mid-90s?

I heard the same thing from a girl in my HS. This was BEFORE the New Times Articles. She was a teen, female, African American basketball player. Obviously when I heard it, I didn't believe it at all and then years later I heard the New Times story and I knew the girl probably was telling the truth. She said she met him through a BBall thing and he invited her to his house.

I had a friend in High School who told me he was buying weed from this guy named Michael Papa who got his weed from Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, and I was like yeah right, Sammy is in witness protection. Turns out years later, that was true! Weird stuff happens in AZ....

So personal attacks calling me a douchebage and a prick are fine but referring to KJ as GayJ is a bannable offense.. give me a break

implying that pedophiles are gay is a bannable offense. That's a common awful stereotype human horror shows use to slam members of the LGBTQ community.

I refer to him as GayJ because there were rumors back then about him being such. But yep lets make a broad sweeping generalization over it.
