Tyrese Haliburton on Knicks rivalry

    por Yutaofficial: Tyrese Haliburton

    Watching the Knicks take home the NBA title left Tyrese Haliburton with a whole mix of feelings, even though he confirmed they are their rival. He admitted liking those guys and calling them friends, yet when the win happened, his first thought was to turn this sh*t off. He was hanging out with his wife and some friends who asked if they should switch the broadcast, but he told them to leave it on so he could watch. Seeing Jalen Brunson celebrate with Ali, whose couple is close to his own, plus Josh Hart with his twins and Carl Cunningham with Jordan, felt awesome. It was a weird vibe because while they hate each other on the court like smoke, the relationship after the game is pure love. He said he felt every emotion in that moment: angry, sad about missing the chance to compete, but also happy for the opponents. He described the entire playoff run from the Hawks series as unbelievable and expressed looking forward to getting back out there.
