Key Points:
- Following the Pistons' Game 7 win over the Magic, ESPN's "Inside the NBA" aired its traditional "Gone Fishing" graphic mocking eliminated teams, including a notable segment on the Boston Celtics.
- The graphic featured Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown alongside well-known Boston figures like Bill Simmons, John Krasinski, Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck in a Boston Harbor boat scene.
- Unexpectedly, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and reporter Dianna Russini were included at the front of the boat reenacting the iconic "I'm flying" scene from "Titanic," referencing their recent controversy involving private photos published by Page Six.
- This inclusion is notable as "Inside the NBA" is now airing on ESPN for the first season, with Russini having recently transitioned from ESPN to The Athletic.
