Lebron: Not too many fans can compete with Boston

[sed522002]

Per Celticslife.com http://www.celticslife.com/2013/10/lebron-compliments-boston-fans.html

This was from a recent interview with David Aldridge

Me: Since Pierce, certainly, and KG certainly thought of as Celtics, does that rivalry your team had with Boston transfer to Brooklyn?
LBJ: No. Because with the Boston rivalry, not only were you playing against those guys, you were playing against their fans, too. And there are not too many fans that can compete with Boston. Probably the Palace of Auburn Hills when it was rocking, as far as animosity or hatred. Brooklyn doesn't have that. Obviously, they have great fans, but Boston has that hatred. You kind of inherit not only going against those guys, but you inherit going against those fans as well.
Me: You loved that, didn't you?
LBJ: Absolutely. It's great when you can silence them. It's hard to silence the Garden, I'll tell you that.

Glad we're all on the same page, LeBron.

Lebron is calling Celtics fans the biggest haters in the league. 

I say, embrace the hate.

Lets not forget he was there for probably the best fan outpouring of love I've ever seen:

I don't hate lebron...hate is a strong word.

I dislike Lebron's past decisions and i will never root for him.

I respect him as a ballplayer though.

Agreed...LeBrons best game ever didn't even silence the Boston faithful ..I think he's referencing that

[SHAQATTACK]

there's a good chance he is.  can't think of any other fanbase that would send it's team off with that chant in its final home game after turning in that horrible effort.  have to give more credit to the fans that game than the team

[D.o.s.]

I remember quite a bit of silence coming after that ludicrous game 6.

But, of course, that was totally legit. Even the numbers (45-15-5) don't cover how absurd he was in that game. That was a brutal thing to watch.

When it's not unbridled adulation of the King, he probably sees it as hate.

[sed522002]

I don't ever want to think about Game 6. I really think that's the game where he discovered his "other" gear and all that disappearing in the 4th qtr was put to rest.

I never seen anyone so focused and deliberate and I really, really hate thinking about that game. He just had his way with the entire team.

[Snakehead]

Lets not be too critical of that Celtics team, probably the proudest I've ever been of a sports team.  They surprised everyone.

hahaha what?  He looks in the crowd and sees a bunch of "LeBron is a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline." shirts.  Plenty of hate 24/7 in Boston for LeBron (not from me).

[Clench123]

More reason to root for the current group we have no matter how horrible they are. 

We are the best set of fans in Basketball and I'm just glad to be part of it.  Thank you, guys.  Celtics for life.

Yeah. It was awesome in the truest sense of the word.

My "never talk about it ever" game is still Game 7, 2010.

Easily.  As I said before, that whole playoff run was so unexpected and we were such underdogs that it was all gravy.
