    The things i would do to see Haliburton get in over Brunson or Randle
  • @iillestrs2153
    As a kings fan I know the only thing the city was upset at Hali about wasn’t even really halis fault, it was how reddick framed the question and reddick was on a spree of mocking the kings as it was. I think he took allot of heat that reddick essentially brought on Hali imo. Hali knows this city loves him as a person
  • I love how Tyrese responded to the Wally topic. Bro has never said he needs to be an all-star, but his play statistically and eye test proves that he's in all-star contention and, most importantly, basically said abt Wally in his NBA playing days, WHO???
  • @LukeNeidig
    Tyrese is so well spoken for his age. Shows his intelligence, I’m excited to see what he does in the future with that young Pacers team. Very fun to watch.
  • I love his game. He gonna be great he has grown alot. Big fan.
  • @GoldenWind30
    Even though Wally was an all-star, Tyrese is gonna be a superstar.
  • @tj-23
    Wally is irrelevant so he had to disrespect a rising star for no reason whatsoever to get clicks and get noticed. It’s sad but that’s our society nowadays.
  • You should not listen to Magic Johnson, he thought Lonzo was going to have a jersey retired.
  • @javiii787
    Tyrese is a real one. All-Star worthy as well.
  • I'd have to do my interview over Zoom with Taylor, there's no way we'd be talking about basketball in person 😂
