LeBron James has called out Celtics fans after he identified Boston as his least preferred playing venue on an episode of Uninterrupted’s The Shop. James’ response to the question of why he “hates” Beantown was, “Because they’re racist as f**k, that’s why.”
“They will say anything. And it’s fine,” he said, referring to Celtics fans. “I mean, f**k, it’s my life. I’ve been dealing with it my whole life. I don’t mind […] Like, if I hear somebody close by, I’ll check ’em real quick [and] I’ll move on to the game. They gonna say whatever the f**k they wanna say. They might throw something on you.”
James remembered the moment he was walking to the locker room and a Celtics fan poured a drink on him. It had happened after Boston was defeated by James’ Miami Heat in Game 6 of the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals.
“I mean, I got a beer thrown on me leaving a game,” he said, “There was like a, ‘F**k LBJ T-shirt.’ I believe they sold it at the fu**ing team shop.”
