LeBron James doesn’t recall hearing racist comments in Boston
Shortly after leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 2-0 series lead over the Toronto Raptors Wednesday night, LeBron James was asked about Adam Jones and the events at Fenway Park earlier this week, when Jones said he was subjected to racial slurs during Monday night’s game.
“It’s a delicate situation. Racism we know exists,” said James.
The All-Star forward also spoke about his own experience of playing in Boston.
“I’ve heard a couple athletes say that you expect that when you go to Boston,” said James. “For me, I’ve been to Boston and I’ve played in Boston a lot. I just try to have tunnel vision when I play. I can’t recall ever hearing something that was racism toward me.”
