I don't see any fans. It's probably just one person wanting attention.

It got Lebron's attention, and he's right to think it's idiotic.

I find it hard to take anything he says seriously. James is a self-serving egomaniac, and he knows in ten months it'll be HIS jerseys getting burned. It would be nice to think he actually cared about IT or Hayward, but I suspect this is him protecting himself, as usual.

You know, I think he actually cares about the Union and his fellow players.

He's definitely a bit of a narcissist, but he's been using his voice to try to accomplish good, too.

I agree.

I bet less than one half of one percent of Celtics fans feel that way about him.

I know for me, IT will really be missed.

Warning: do not watch ESPN today or you risk subjecting yourself to over generalizations of Celtics fans

The lebron jersey burning rant is now the top breaking story on ESPN- http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20444527/lebron-james-rants-boston-celtics-fans-burning-isaiah-thomas-jerseys-trade

I wonder if they will somehow put a racial spin on it as I've yet to see espn talk about Boston fans without calling us all racist. Remember that 30 for 30 Celtics Lakers thing?

Worth noting that IT is also James' teammate now.

It's interesting to me how so many today choose to focus on the negative to justify their own view of the world.  Look at any grouping/crowd/population etc there will always be a small amount of jerks.  Focusing on the actions of a few outliers and automatically using it to characterize everyone else is par for the course in this country at this time.  ::)

And ESPN uses this tactic as much and as often as anyone else.

All it takes today is one idiot. Annoying.

Not to mention he is absolutely right about the fickleness of fans. Guy plays his heart out for the team and you love him. A player leaves for a better opportunity, lifestyle, family reasons, money and fans are so quick to label them traitors. Players are people too. They have to do what's best for them and their family, just like we would.

And IT was traded away. What type of moron doesn't understand IT had no say in that decision. He didn't ask to be traded.
