In a brazen display of mockery during Game 2 of the NBA Finals in Boston, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy donned a clown t-shirt emblazoned with the face of Dallas Mavericks star, Kyrie Irving.
The 47-year-old Portnoy, a vocal Celtics supporter, flaunted the provocative shirt courtside, even showcasing it on the jumbotron to the roaring crowd. He further fueled the rivalry by booing Irving relentlessly throughout the game.
Following the Celtics’ 105-98 victory, Portnoy capitalized on his stunt by tweeting a link to purchase the infamous t-shirt. This latest jab adds to the long-standing animosity between Irving and Boston fans, stemming from his abrupt departure from the Celtics in 2019.

Portnoy’s antics extend beyond mere rivalry, as he stands to win a staggering $7.5 million in gambling profits should the Celtics clinch the NBA Finals and the Edmonton Oilers secure the Stanley Cup.
With the Celtics leading the series 2-0 and a $1.1 million payout on the line for Portnoy if they become champions, his bold prediction of “#celticsin4” may not be too far-fetched. However, his other bet on the Oilers seems less promising, as they currently trail the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup race.
In Sunday’s game, Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 21 points, while Jayson Tatum and Derrick White each contributed 18. Meanwhile, Irving, under the watchful eye of his antagonist Portnoy, managed only 16 points, extending his losing streak against the Celtics to 12 games.
