Nets' Scott: Boston makes blacks uncomfortable

Nets head coach Byron Scott said in a radio interview yesterday that many NBA players feel uncomfortable playing in Boston because the city has been slow to accept black athletes.
"I know a lot of black players feel that way," said Scott, appearing on the Mike and the Mad Dog Show on WFAN. "I know we did in the 80s, we knew you couldn't go to certain places -- and that was their own players (who felt that).
"Some cities or organizations or whatever you want to say haven't caught up to the year 2000 yet."
Scott's comments come one year after crowd behavior at the FleetCenter became an issue in the Eastern Conference Finals. Joumana Kidd, the wife of Nets point guard Jason, said unruly fans had directed racially insensitive comments at her and her young son, T.J., during Game 3 of the series.
