Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton trolled New York Knicks color commentator Wally Szczerbiak by changing his profile picture on Twitter to an image of the former NBA forward.
Following a Knicks victory over the Pacers in December, Szczerbiak went on a rant criticizing the 22-year-old and calling him a “wannabe fake All-Star.” Szczerbiak — who played six-plus of his 10 NBA seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves and was a one-time All-Star — went on to say this regarding Haliburton.
“He’s in his second year. He’s a very good player. He’s not going to make the All-Star team. A guy like Julius Randle or Jalen Brunson will make it over Tyrese Haliburton. Tonight we saw why.”
Haliburton (who’s actually in his third season) was chosen as an All-Star reserve on Thursday night.
