Haliburton’s back-to-back games with 20 points and 20 assists placed him in a distinguished league, marking a monumental moment in his burgeoning career. But after winning this match, there was a story that happened away from the court. It involved an emotional talk between Tyrese’s dad, John Haliburton, and Knicks broadcaster and former NBA player Wally Szczerbiak.

A hushed apology unveiled

As the Pacers celebrated their triumph over the New York Knicks with a resounding 140-126 score, something special came out during interviews after the game. The story came from an unexpected sorry by New York Knicks commentator Wally Szczerbiak to John Haliburton. However, Szczerbiak called the Pacers young talent a “fake wannabe all-star.” But after an honest chat between the broadcaster and the Pacers star’s dad, things started to change.

Szczerbiak admitted he made a mistake and shared the important moment. He said, “I told him ‘My apologies, that was not my finest hour’ when I called his son a wannabe fake all-star. He’s an absolute superstar…He said ‘Don’t worry about it. We’ve all had moments like that. We forgive you my man'” This surprising thing that happened didn’t just fix a close friendship, but showed the acts of kindness and letting go in the tough game world of basketball.
