"Get off that man’s di*k": Ex-NBA player hits out at Dave Portnoy for mocking Kyrie Irving with clown t-shirt
It is not a secret that Kyrie Irving is not liked at the TD Garden, especially after he did not re-sign with them after telling the fans that he would. The fans see his actions as betrayal and treat him as a traitor whenever he is at the Garden.
Dave Portnoy, who is an avid Celtics supporter also cleared out his sentiments regarding Irving after he arrived at Game 3 at the American Airlines Center wearing a Kyrie T-shirt featuring the Mavs star as a clown. Former NBA player Evan Turner called out Portnoy for his display and called him lame for doing it.
"Dave Portnoy is Lame for that. Lame as hell. Come on bro, get off that man's d**k bruh," Turner said.
The former Portland star urged the owner of Barstool Sports to let bygones be bygones and get off the case of Irving. Turner also advised the woman who might be seeing Portland to leave him because he was obsessed with Irving. Turner also spoke in favor of the Mavs guard highlighting that he may have made mistakes in the past but the person he is now is much more mature and evolved than his previous self.
Kyrie Irving shares his interaction with Luka Doncic after a heartbreaking Game 3 loss
The Dallas Mavericks were all in to win Game 3 of the NBA Final series against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night. However, fate had something else in store for them as after spectacular performances by the Mavericks, they still lost the game with a final score of 106-99.
Luka Doncic was fouled out in the final quarter of the game when the Celtics had just a 3-point lead. The situation crumbled for the Mavs from there. Kyrie Irving sank a jumper, but it did not help as the Celtics built on their lead slowly and played extreme defense. After the heartbreaking loss, Irving confronted the media in a post-game conference and talked about his conversation with Luka Doncic.
"Just gave him (Luka Doncic) a hug," Kyrie said.
Later on, the Mavs guard highlighted that it's easy to point fingers at others and blame them for the loss, but he and the squad know that Luka did his best and were behind their teammate. Kyrie Irving had the best night in the Finals series in Game 3. The eight-time All-Star netted 35 points, collected three rebounds, and provided two assists.
