The Detroit Pistons are a game away from making the wrong kind of NBA history and fans are worried a popular YouTuber will ruin the possibility.
Detroit plays the Boston Celtics on Thursday night and is fighting to avoid an NBA record of 28 consecutive losses, but fans are more concerned about a famous influencer attending the game.

A YouTuber named ‘TroyDan’ took to social media to reveal he was attending the potential record-setting game and traveled a long way.
‘TroyDan’ has a substantial following online, with over 3.26million subscribers on YouTube and 777,800 on X, formerly known as Twitter.
He took a photo of the shirt he planned to wear to the Celtics game and posted it to his X account.
The shirt read: “I flew from Canada to watch the Pistons lose 28 games.”
NBA fans flooded social media with reactions to his attire, with many calling it a “W shirt.”
This fan said: “Savage lol”
Another felt: “BEST COURTSIDE OUTFIT OF THE SEASON SO FAR.”
And a third expressed: “This shirt is so disrespectful on every level!”
However, other NBA fans felt the shirt could backfire and help the Pistons snap the streak.
“Pistons win tonight; bookmark this tweet,” one fan said.
Another begged him: “Plz, Troy, don’t jinx this!”
A third declared: “Celtics are jinxed.”
And a fourth: “This the biggest jinx I’ve ever seen, omg!”
The Celtics enter the game with a record of 23-6, directed by four-time NBA All-Star Jayson Tatum, who leads the team in scoring and rebounding at 26.9 points and 8.5 bounds.
Detroit steps into the match with a league-worst record at 2-28 but has a bright young star in Cade Cunningham, who leads the team in scoring at 23 points and dropped 41 in their last game in a loss against the Brooklyn Nets.
