So this was said live on air

Read on Twitter



Honestly a massive low blow. It's a tasteless shot at a guy. I dont think anything his dad did should be thrown into a conversation like that


For those who dont know what they are referring to

We rag on the Warriors commentators personal attacks on players, But this is 10 times worse

Can't wait till they dish out the punishment. That should NOT be admissible. Counting down, not a matter of if, but when.

He worked on that line pre-game. No way he thought of that on the spot. Guy did his pre-game research and came up with that…

Probably just a poor choice of words. I'm assuming his dad played basketball as well.

Pretty sure this was a complete and brutally unfortunate mixup. There was a kevin porter who played for the wiz in the 70s so I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt that he thought they were related.

That’s what I thought at first but doesn’t look like he played much basketball. Apparently baseball was his sport in high school.

Probably a mix-up like what a poster said a few posts above:

There was a Kevin Porter that played for the Washington Bullets who led the NBA in assists 4x.

So it is funny to make fun of someone's dad accidently killing a kid and then being murdered?

People are so sensitive these days.

Let me find the darkest moments of your life and make a joke live in front of millions so we can laugh.

I am sure I'll find something funny.

Ya Im usually all for pushing boundaries, but they're literally making a reference to his dad killing a teenage girl or his dad getting shot and from the sounds of it its a reference to his dad killing a teenage girl.

I mean come on now. Its one thing if this was an actual roast or something where youre expected to push buttons as far as you can, this is a NBA TV broadcast. Maybe shy away from making jokes about players dad's killing teenage girls. Just a little recommendation is all.
