Among the several talented names that come up to NBA every season, seldom are polished products. Many even show up with an unconventional style, which becomes the talk of the town in a polarizing way.

But as is the case of a young NBA All-Star player, a firm foundation and support system helped him to develop considerably in the league. But did you know that a well-acclaimed member of Stephen Curry‘s franchise helped him to deafen all the unnecessary white noise?

NBA All-Star recalls a decisive tale of belief

While he is still young in his NBA career,?Tyrese Haliburton has played with the best of the best. Analysts and fans love his unique jump shot. But after being traded to the Indiana Pacers, fans wondered whether he’d be told to alter his methods.

Tyrese recently opened up about it on Podcast P with Paul George. While revealing that were concerns in the beginning, one man’s word put everybody to rest.

The man was none other than experienced coach Steve Kerr, who was a three-point specialist during his playing career. He has also formed a cohesive unit of shooting with the likes of Stephen Curry and co, but what exactly did the 57-year-old say about Haliburton’s jump shot?

Tyrese Haliburton reveals Coach Kerr’s vision

The Indiana Pacers point guard was in a free-wheeling discussion with the podcaster, and they first spoke about how his unique movement would be an impediment for him to get into the NBA. “I am honestly, like a very petty person. If I go through my bookmarks right now, on Twitter, once I get to 2020, it’s gonna be nothing but people talking about the way I shoot,”?he revealed.

However, after signing with the Sacramento Kings, Haliburton’s then-coach got a piece of advice from Kerr himself. “When I got to the NBA, Luke didn’t really know anything about me. And, a story that he told me recently, that Coach Kerr had called him. Because I worked out for the Warriors. And he was like, ‘We love that kid. Don’t ever touch his jumper.’… And from there, nobody has ever messed with me about it,”?he said.
