LeBron James Calls Boston Fans “Racist as F—k”
On his talk show “The Shop,” James this week said TD Garden in Boston is his least favorite place to play — before he went off on spectators.
During the show, James' business partner Maverick Carter and show co-creator Paul Rivera were part of the conversation that went as follows:

James: "I mean, Boston."
Rivera: "Why do you hate Boston?"
James: "Because they racist as f***, that's why. They will say anything, and it's fine. I mean, f***, it's my wife, she's been dealing with them her whole life. I don't mind it. I hear it, if I hear someone close by, I check them real quick. I move onto the game, whatever the f***. They going to say whatever the f*** they want to say. They might throw something, I got a beer thrown on me leaving a game."
Carter: "It's the only place in the NBA where you and they have shirts and they say like 'F*** LeBron.'"
James: "Yeah, it's like a 'F*** LBJ' T-shirt. I believe they probably sold it at the f***ing team shop."
Meanwhile -- James is a part-owner of the Boston Red Sox via his ownership interest in Fenway Sports Group.
