Dave Portnoy of ‘Barstool Sports’ was invited on the Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast. As the interview progressed, Portnoy expressed his love for Boston Celtics, “Yeah, I am a big Celtics fan. I went to most of the games. The golden state was better. So, I realised that at the end but, it’s a good season but Celtics, still sucks to see your favorite team lose. They are young, they are good and a lot of the best players have struggled, you know, before they win.”

Tyson asked, “Did Boston lose?” And Portnoy replied with, “Yeah, they lost, set in six, they lost the other night. He (Stephen Curry) went nuts.”

Even Tyson weighed in about Curry. “He is just a monster.”
