LeBron: Celtic Fans Have That Hatred

In an interview with David Aldridge:

DA: 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.

DA: 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.
