"Send these sons of b*tches back to New York" - Pat McAfee brutally mocks Timothée Chalamet, Ben Stiller, Spike Lee during in-arena announcement
Pat McAfee had a brutal message for some famous New York Knicks fans who attended Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. McAfee, who is a huge fan of the Indiana Pacers, hyped up the crowd in the fourth quarter.
With the Pacers up 111-96 early in the final period, McAfee was given a microphone to speak to the Pacers fans in attendance. He mentioned the big-name New Yorkers in the building: Spike Lee, Timothée Chalamet and Ben Stiller, who got booed loudly.
"Indianapolis, Indiana, we got some bigwigs from the big city in the building," McAfee said. "Spike Lee is here, Ben Stiller is here, Timothée Chalamet is here. Let's send these sons of b*tches back to New York with their ears ringing. Let's turn this sh*t up."
Pat McAfee was born and raised in Pennsylvania, but made Indianapolis his home after playing for the Colts from 2009 to 2016 as a punter. McAfee was already a household name in the city, but made it big as an analyst for Barstool Sports before hosting his show on YouTube.
Due to the success of The Pat McAfee Show, ESPN brought him to the network and signed him to a multi-million-dollar deal. The show is still filmed and based in Indianapolis, while McAfee also has stints as a color commentator for WWE RAW.
McAfee has the gift of gab, so speaking in front of thousands of Pacers fans was an easy task. He also had no problem talking trash to a bunch of people, possibly more famous than him.
Pat McAfee's message came true after Pacers win Game 4
Pat McAfee was probably smiling ear-to-ear after Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers took down the New York Knicks in Game 4. While the Pacers were up when McAfee confidently talked trash to Spike Lee, Ben Stiller and Timothée Chalamet, the Knicks made it an interesting game.
The visitors were able to bring the lead down to just six points, but the Pacers managed to fend them off. Tyrese Haliburton finished with a triple-double of 32 points, 12 rebounds and 15 assists to help Indiana earn a 130-121 win and a 3-1 series lead over the Knicks.
The Pacers can earn their ticket to the NBA Finals if they win Game 5 on Thursday at Madison Square Garden.
