I don't get it.

Goat is both an animal that likes salt, and an acronym for greatest of all time (in sports).

I don't understand the torture thing, but I think the comment is joking that "bringing in the goat" would mean bringing in LeBron, because he is the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time)

TL;DR goats(the animal) have rough tongues that may rip skin off and could be used as a form of torture.

Betting against LeBron has caused me financial and emotional damage.

A painting at the Rothenburg criminal museum, depicting criminals placed in stocks. The town people would tickle them and put salt on their feet so goats would lick the feet.
