And the chain reaction continued even after Hansen arrived in Boston.
At the hotel where Hansen was staying, some radical black people appeared, holding signs saying "Boston doesn't welcome bastards" and wearing T-shirts with "F*** Hansen" on them.
Hansen found it amusing.
It was already peculiar that ESPN reported it so heavily, and seeing these people now, it's hard to believe Nike isn't behind all this.
But what amused Hansen wasn't this; it's not new anywhere in the world for people to resort to smearing when they can't win.
What amused him was the sense of déjà vu this brought him.
Seven years ago, when he first came to Boston, he had almost the exact same experience, except the name after "F***" changed from James to him.
Looks like tomorrow night's game is going to be lively.
On the same night the Cavaliers arrived in Boston, the second game of the Warriors against the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals had concluded.
