Tyrese Haliburton - English
Things got out of hand last night after an electrifying 119-118 overtime win. The Pacers celebrated euphorically… but tension quickly took over the atmosphere. In the midst of the post-game chaos, Haliburton‘s father, John, stormed onto the court and engaged in an intense and heated confrontation with Giannis Antetokounmpo, further igniting a night that was already on the verge of exploding after an emotional game.
John waved a towel with his son’s picture on it, Tyrese‘s father approached Giannis, and the player didn’t take it too seriously, but that was just the beginning.
Antetokounmpo video reveals what really happened during the fight with Tyrese Haliburton’s father
Antetokounmpo wasn’t going to let John get away with it and approached him and confronted him, where they exchanged words in a very tense argument.
Authorities and staff had to step in to prevent things from getting physical, a rather embarrassing moment, as you would expect, since the father should not have been on the court in the first place, and criticism was swift.
“I sincerely apologize to Giannis, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Pacers organization for my actions after tonight’s game. It did not reflect well on our sport or my son, and I will not make this mistake again,” John said on social media, expressing remorse for what happened.
John, Haliburton’s father, receives a huge punishment from the Pacers
He didn’t get away with it. Father Tyrese has been banned from all Indiana games, home and away.
“After discussions with Tyrese Haliburton’s father, John Haliburton, and the Indiana Pacers front office, John Haliburton will not be attending any of the team’s home or away games for the foreseeable future,” said a source close to ESPN.
“My father got caught up in the moment and obviously his actions were out of line. I apologized to Giannis and he apologized to Giannis. It’s unfortunate what happened, and there’s no place for it,” Haliburton said on The Pat McAfee Show.
The reality is that Giannis didn’t lose his head and act in bad faith with an attempted hit; the father should be happy that the athlete reacted in bad faith. For his part, John has been making the media rounds and making his remorse very clear.

Pedro comemora gol pelo Flamengo (Divulgação - CRF) O Flamengo, após renovar com Gerson, pode valorizar outro jogador fundamental para o clube. Segundo o jornalista Venê Casagrande, os empresários de Pedro entraram em contato para retomar o processo de renovação, paralisada desde a lesão do atacante. Neste cenário, existe uma intenção de, ao estender o vínculo, promover um aumento salarial. “A antiga gestão, no comando do Marcos Braz e do Bruno Spindel, haviam prometido uma renovação de contrato. Com a lesão, o Flamengo e os representantes pararam com a renovação.”, explicou Venê, em seu canal no YouTube.

Gregg Popovich’s case as the greatest coach in NBA history: Spurs legend carved unique path to five titles
Imagn Images What makes a great basketball coach? If the answer is simply "a coach who wins the most," then the greatest coach in NBA history is Phil Jackson. The Zen Master has more seasons with a championship (11) than without one (nine). Is the answer innovation, to advance the art of the sport? If that's the case, Red Auerbach is probably our pick. He laid the foundation for much of what modern basketball would become during his Boston Celtics dynasty, inventing the concept of the sixth man and pioneering the fast break. Or maybe a great basketball coach is someone who can win with any kind of players. That would put Pat Riley in the conversation. He led a Showtime Laker dynasty based on speed and finesse before pivoting completely into defense and toughness in New York and Miami. If John […]
