Talk about an NBA player who’s hit a purple patch in his playing career. That’s Tyrese Haliburton, not just normally but 10x. The consecutive All-Star and 2024 assists leader told GQ Sports, “I’m greedy, I want to be great,” he said after a super season averaging 20+ points a game. “So, I mean, what is there to be satisfied about?” Well, he can surely be satisfied about one thing, having his “biggest cheerleader!” Yeah, that’s what his long-time girlfriend had once termed herself.
Tyrese has successfully put every obstacle behind himself since his AAU days and is now gearing up for his Olympic debut. The question is, will the Pacer have some lady luck going for him in Paris? As turns out, yes, there will be! In fact, there is. His better half, Jade Jones, was pictured with him, ahead of Team USA’s Serbia game.
Jade has been with Tyrese Haliburton since the beginning of his pro basketball career. They first crossed paths at Iowa State, where Jones was a cheerleader, and he donned the org’s basketball colors. And she’s been a familiar face in the Indiana crowds too. Taking the same overseas, she recently posted a barrage of pictures with her boyfriend, as the two of them hung out in Paris. From clicking Polaroids to testing their luck in the casino, the young couple left the fans with a lot to adore.
