Dave Portnoy’s reaction to the Spurs-Knicks court invader was extreme, but the scare itself showed why the NBA cannot shrug off this kind of stunt.
The interruption came late in Game 1 of the NBA Finals at Frost Bank Center, with New York on its way to a 105-95 win. A fan rushed onto the floor with a cellphone and tried to get close to Victor Wembanyama.
It looked silly for a second, but that is exactly the issue. No player should have to wonder whether a stranger running onto the court is harmless.
In a post from Dave Portnoy, the Barstool founder gave the viral moment the kind of blunt response that made it even louder online.
“That kid who ran onto the court should get 10 years prison.”
