Klay Thompson slams ‘rude’ Boston Celtics fans

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson ripped Boston’s fans for being rude in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

The 5-time All-Star took shots at the crowd when asked if the boisterous crowd at the Garden had anything to do with Golden State’s 116-100 loss.

Thompson made it clear that he had experienced rude crowds before and sarcastically labeled Boston fans “classy”.

If I'm not able to teach my 4-year-old and 14-month-old to say "Fuck you Draymond" by the end of the Finals I'll consider myself a failure of a parent from Boston.
