Kyrie Irving issues ‘karma’ warning to Dave Portnoy
Kyrie Irving, the former point guard of the Brooklyn Nets, has found himself in a messy feud with Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports. Portnoy, who has expressed his dislike for Irving since his time with the Celtics, recently taunted Irving on Twitter about potential plans to join fellow NBA superstar LeBron James on the Mavericks. In response, Irving warned Portnoy that “karma” will catch up with him. The two then swapped GIFs on social media, with Portnoy seemingly unbothered by the threat.
Portnoy has also taken shots at Irving for his behavior in the NBA, touting the Miami Heat as an example of a team that plays with dedication and grit, without the drama that Irving has been known for. A shirt with Irving’s name listed among various enemies is also available for purchase on the Barstool Sports store.
Irving, who forced his way off the Nets in a trade, is currently a free agent and has yet to make a decision about his future in the NBA.
