What’s a good synonym for when a sports player get mockingly booed by the crowd.?
Often in sports when a visiting player plays on the court of the home team, he will get booed.
The word I’m looking for has similar meaning to serenade.
“As Lebron James got blocked, the crowd _____ him.”
The word is not booed and compound words and phrases are accepted.
I think jeer sounds good. Heckle, torment or provoke may also suffice although they don’t exactly indicate noise.
