Dave Portnoy hammers LeBron James for setting wrong example for kids after mid-game sip of wine
LeBron James’ viral moment with a Philadelphia 76ers fan has upset Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy. LeBron James and the Philadelphia 76ers are unstoppable at the moment as they have extended their winning streak to four games and hold a league-best 7-1 record at the moment.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has criticized LeBron James for setting a poor example for his young fans after taking a sip of wine mid-game during a recent Philadelphia 76ers game. The 41-year-old basketball star was seen interacting with a 76ers fan courtside and sipping from their glass of wine when he was knocked into.
While most people found the incident amusing, Portnoy expressed his outrage, stating on X that James is setting a bad example by suggesting that one needs to be intoxicated to play sports. NBA fans were quick to react negatively to Portnoy's comments, accusing him of unnecessarily attacking the NBA star. Despite the backlash, it seems that Portnoy will continue to criticize James, as he has a history of voicing his disapproval of the four-time NBA champion.
