LeBron James goes after Boston fans for burning Isaiah Thomas jerseys

LeBron James went to bat for new teammate Isaiah Thomas after Boston fans burned Thomas’ jersey.

The fans’ reactions were a result of Thomas being traded to the Cavaliers for Kyrie Irving. Considering James has had to deal with his jersey being burned after he left Cleveland for Miami in 2010, it’s no wonder that he was quick to defend his new teammate in a series of tweets.

“The burning of the jersey thing is getting ridiculous now! The man was traded What do u not understand?,” James said.
