After the Indiana Pacers stunned the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5 of the NBA playoffs, there was a bit of drama off the court. Tyrese Haliburton’s dad got into a confrontation with Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Recently, a video with leaked audio of the on-court battle surfaced on the internet. Tyrese’s dad, John Haliburton, was heard poking Giannis as he was going strong against the Pacers. Despite the Bucks being on the brink of elimination, the Greek Freak dropped 30 points, along with 20 rebounds and 13 assists.
However, despite his heroics, Haliburton got the much-needed win for Indiana with his last-minute layup. As soon as the Pacers rallied to the court to celebrate, John went straight to Antetokounmpo and flashed a towel with Tyrese’s face on it.
“This is what we do… that’s right, go home!” John said to Giannis.
To which Giannis said- “Don’t f*cking disrespect me.”

After the game, Antetokounmpo expressed his frustration over what he deemed a “disrespectful” act. He explained that John Haliburton approached him while waving a towel and making inappropriate remarks.
“I believe in being humble in victory. A lot of people out there that are like, no, when you win the game, you talk s*** and it’s a green light for you to be disrespectful towards somebody else. I disagree,” Giannis said(Via ESPN).
After the game, emotions ran high, and as Antetokounmpo remained on the court, John Haliburton confronted him directly. Antetokounmpo initially mistook him for an excited fan before realizing who he was. He later described John’s behavior as very disrespectful.
Tyrese made it clear that he didn’t support his dad’s actions, as basketball should stay on the court. He acknowledged that John was just caught up in the excitement after Tyrese made the game-winner.

LSU Tigers star Angel Resse has been making a lot of headlines after her match against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Reese has a unique fashion for her matches, she wears leggings on only one of her legs and she recently revealed the secret of doing so.
Reese lost her recent game against the Iowa Hawkeyes which left the fans wondering if she would continue with LSU or declare for the WNBA draft. Those questions have also been answered by Reese in her recent collaboration with Vogue.
Why does Angel Reese wear one legging attire?
Angel Reese wears only one legging as a part of her one-court attire and the fans have grown curious about it. Many people speculated that it was part of a superstition that Reese followed, however, that is not the case. The LSU star has herself revealed the reason for the unique dressing choice and it may surprise a lot of people.
“I had surgery two years back on my shin. I have a rod in my leg… I cover the scar on one, and then the two players that I admire, Te’a Cooper and A’ja Wilson, also wear it, too. So it is swag. But I have used it to cover my scar,” said Angel Reese. She revealed that she had surgery on her leg and had a scar on it. She wears the leggings to hide that scar and at the same time as a swag fashion accessory.
Angel Reese declares for WNBA draft with Vogue photoshoot
