Dave Portnoy savagely blasts each and every ‘obnoxious’ A-lister on Knicks celebrity row: ‘I hate them all’

Dave Portnoy has bad blood with Taylor Swift and the rest of the “obnoxious” A-listers who were seated in celebrity row for Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals.

The Barstool Sports creator railed against Wednesday’s star-studded game between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs in a new Instagram video, noting that he has “always hated New York sports teams” and their fans.

“I don’t know if it’s my personality or just me being a Boston fan, but … watching their fans celebrate in that arena — people who aren’t even basketball fans — like, just made my skin crawl on a level I can’t even describe,” the 49-year-old told his followers.

PUT ON BLAST Ben Stiller, Timothée Chalamet, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld

Scooter Braun, I’ve hated him. Big Tits McGee [Sydney] Sweeney — where is she from? Hate her,”

Spike Lee, Nas and Tracy Morgan

Hailey Bieber ..... Mariska Hargitay

“Spike Lee, I hate him,”

He asked, “What percentage of Knicks celebrity fans would also show up in Lakers gear for Lakers celebrity row if the Lakers were in the Finals? I think it’s over 50 percent.”

I think “Celebrity Fatigue” is almost as widespread as the other fatigue.

She sure does. Her make up scheme looks more like a mask. And she ain’t ugly. Odd.

LOL. I just love a story where someone famous just lets loose and talks about how much they hate another famous person. Is it petty and childish to like a story like that? Yes. Do I like it anyway? Yes. Especially if they don’t in any way, shape or form sugar-coat it. Joni Mitchell is good for a story like this every once in a while. She’ll just tell you how much she hates some other signer or producer. Bette Davis used to do the same thing when she was alive. Then there’s Elton John talking about how much he hates Keith Richards (or vice versa).

Half the people he mentioned have been going to Knicks games for decades. He should just shut up.

Knicks had a 1% chance of winning at half time.
Remember that the next time!
My daughter says she’ll never watch nba again if the knicks win. She’s All Ohio High School Second Team (junior) 1000 point/500 assists

Inside every five foot tall white celebrity is a seven foot tall black basketball player crying to get out. Prove me wrong.

She needs the mask more than the make up?

I wonder how much of this is the fact that David Portnoy is a Boston guy?

#23 Taylor has had plastic surgery on the face and boobs. She does not look like herself from the past.

Swift has never had much of a figure. Pubescent teenage girls can probably identify with that.

Hollywood/music industry people are fake, shallow and obnoxious. What stunning insight from Portnoy.

She didn’t even take him to the game.

Not in the contract.
