Citing Iconic LeBron James and Kevin Durant Rivalry, Tyrese Haliburton Debunks “Real Tyrese” Debate With 76ers Star

The Indiana Pacers and the Philadelphia 76ers are fighting for the first spot in the Eastern Conference tables. They are the fifth and fourth-seeded teams, respectively. Both teams have taken the NBA by storm, thanks to their strong gameplay.

It is worth mentioning the contributions of the Tyrese-duo: Tyrese Maxey and Tyrese Haliburton. Although they belong to different teams, they do share a great bond. However, there is an ongoing debate about who is the “real Tyrese”. In a podcast, they address the question.

The real Tyrese debate

In the ‘Maxey On The Mic’ podcast, Maxey introduced Haliburton in the most hilarious manner possible. He called him the second-best Tyrese in the league. After that, he laughed it out and introduced him properly, by mentioning the 2023 All-Star’s feats.

Haliburton replied, “Appreciate you fam, thanks for having me. 2024 All-Star, I’m on this podcast, I’m excited about it, let’s go.” They both shared their off-court bonding on the show. It is evidently clear that the championship race does not affect their bonding.

Tyrese Maxey went ahead to mention what his mother told him. It was during the Pacers vs Sixers match, and whenever the camera displayed the two Tyreses, they were having a good time, laughing around. Maxey’s mother had an issue with that. She told his son that he was supposed to cook him on the field, but he was always having a great time.
