As revealed by the Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, he has to endure a hostile environment playing in Boston too.

In the latest episode of The Shop, LeBron was asked, "why does he hate Boston?"

James, who is also a partial owner of the Boston Red Sox, gave a straightforward response.

"Because they racist as f--k that's why. They will say anything. I've been dealing with this my whole life, I don't mind it. Like if I hear someone close by I check him real quick and then move onto the game.

They gonna say whatever the f--k they wanna say, I even got a beer thrown on me once leaving the game," LeBron James spoke in the episode, where Marcus Rashford joined him as a guest.

Via Yahoo Sports, James holds an 11-14 record against the Celtics on the road in his career.

In the playoffs, he lost his first two series against Boston in his career, but has since won five straight.
