The Los Angeles Lakers star identified Boston as his least preferred playing venue in the most recent episode of Uninterrupted’s The Shop. James answered simply when asked why he “hates” Beantown: “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, fuck, 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 fuck 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. The action happened after Boston was defeated by James and the Miami Heat in Game 6 of the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals.
