[Highlight] Tyrese Haliburton reaction to Bill Kennedy announcing the Pacers challenge was unsuccessful. “What the fu*k is he talking about”
Kennedy is so funny. The face he gives right before saying “is unsuccessful” is hilarious
Bro acts like he’s on The Office
He’s Perd Hapley from Parks and Rec.
‘The story of this unsuccessful challenge is that…its unsuccessful’
“What the fuck are you doing Purd Hapley?”
More like Turd Crapley, am i right
Cool it Icetown
Stanley specifically
Boy, have you lost your mind? Cause I’ll help you find it. There’s nothing stanley about him, unless… you’re Michael Scott
Of all The Office characters, his expressions aren’t really like Stanley’s at all. Maybe more like Jim.
But I think I know why you’re saying Stanley lol..
It’s clearly Pam, actually.
No one make an Oscar joke
You’re gay! Boom, roasted.
DID YA LOSE YOUR DAMN MIND? CUZ I CAN HELP YA FIND IT!
You’re such a racist because you think he’s black.
This is a hate crime!
I thought he might have been reading a rainbow.
Dude really puts the most into his reviews and I honestly love it lol
He must be auditioning for something lmao
It’s the face a car salesman makes before they say “let me see what my manager will say”
Yeah but that TrueCoat, tho
You’re a fucking liar
The face she makes between “I’d love to” and “…but I have a boyfriend”.
The false empathy had me crying. Dude is hysterical i enjoy his explanations
Bro is the black rob schneidrr
Eww no
Except he acually has charisma and acting skills
I see it
That half-head shake in disappointment… is very successful.
He just wants some mentions in the groupchat
Remember when, on live television, he very noticeably waited to finish an important challenge because of a young lady
He’s sorry your grandma died but you still have to take the test.

His is the replica jersey I want
It’s like he’s reading a story to his class lmao
My friend who doesn’t even like sports knows this ref lol
Prolly the only ref in the league whose name is known not primarily because he sucks (at his job, not off-the-court sucking)
That is a wild parenthesis haha
Did Kennedy suck something that we know of?
Read the Personal Life section of his wiki.
Nice. Now I totally understand his over the top explanations lmao. I’m the same way
Damn, that’s pretty classless from Doc Rivers.
Gucci mane ref is also mainly known for his antics rather than his whistle
I know him, Gucci Mane, the one that hates CP3 and Tony Brothers
The ref who Luka “flirted” with
The ref that ejected Drummond, realized she fucked up and un-ejected him
i mean props to her, noone elses does that they quadruple down on the dumbest shit
Possibly the only ref in any sport who fans enjoy watching. Are there others?
He’s retired now, but Nigel Owens was beloved as a Rugy Union ref when he was active. Another retired great of his sport is Perluigi Collina (soccer), who was so well known I remember seeing ads with him on TV, although I’m a bit too young to have seen him officiate games, and I don’t know if he was just respected, or if fans actually enjoyed him.
Growing up with perluigi reffing games, I think in the 12 years I watched him in fifa and serie A, I never seen him make a bad call, or stop the flow of a match just to make himself feel like he had power over the players
Everton fans probably have a very different impression of Collina lol
Scott Foster for sure(I love chaos and corruption)
Ed Hochuli in the NFL. Just the first vid I found but he was also a lawyer and he would really explain everything.
Also can’t find it but there’s probably a compilation of NFL players ‘mirin his arms, he was pretty jacked and wore the tightest shirts lol
Cricket Umpire Billy Bowden used to put on a real show
I didn’t even know he was gay until this comment lol
Why are NBA referees performing for the camera???
I’d rather they do this than get their camera time by making stupid foul calls. Bill Kennedy is one of the better refs in the league, maybe they should all be performing for the camera lol.
Also yeah the delivery is goofy but he does actually do a good job of explaining their rationale
The look of disappointment right before he delivered the bad news was incredible, this man needs to be on a sitcom
Haha I like his little facial expressions when he explains the foul
I really enjoy the content of the explanations, and the goofy delivery is just a nice little spice on top.
He also seems to actually enjoy explaining why where other refs act like it’s such a burden.
We must force all referees to be unemotionless freaks until they’ve proven they can have the right to have emotions.
But wouldn’t unemotionaless mean they have emotion?
How did that word make it all the way from someone’s head onto the page I’m reading?
What exactly aren’t you misunderstandtionating?
i’m guessing autocorrect but that would mean hes used that word before which is still insane
Or do the complete 180 and go full Draymond big booting players in the nuts.
Cause it’s a game, not UN peace negotiations
And unlike a UN resolution, if an NBA ref makes a call it will actually be enforced
Sports are entertainment. Are we really gonna be mad about refs not deadpanning calls?
The NBA pays specialty referees better like:
Scott “The Extender” Foster
&
Tony “Catfish” Brothers
Gotta find a gimmick & niche to stand out.
It’s a game, games are forms of entertainment
It’s reality TV for guys and the ref wants to earn his spot.
It’s tradition. You look at old NBA refs and they basically do windmill theatrics whenever they called fouls, whether dramatic and-one or even just basic travelling.
I love me a really emphatic charge call
Why not?
Refs really get too much attention lmao. I saw that a disgraced ref who is a Celtics superfan got an ESPN interview that shit fried me
When Bill Kennedy is on the mic, you’re just waiting for the “*However*” to drop.
The little grimace before “is unsuccessful” 💀
Bro is out here auditioning for acting gigs. Delivering lines like he’s on a tv show
He’d be amazing on On Cinema at the Cinema for the next murder trial special.
Imagine Tim ejecting him from the set of On Cinema at the Cinema Brought to You by Fanduel
The narrator we didn’t know we wanted
Yeah what’s Tyrese’s problem?
It seems like he explained exactly what he was talking about in detail.
Just hanging out on the bench there’s nothing else to do
He could be talking about something entirely different for all we know.
Someone should tell Lions fans that
I swear he talks like franklin from my wife and kids if he was all grown up lol
Fuckin Billy Kennedy man haha he’s really funny during these explanations
He might be one of the only refs in the League who most people know by name for a good reason and not their poor officiating.
Bro think he’s in a movie with those facial expressions 🤣
More like a sitcom
He’s just letting us know that the NBA is a men’s soap opera
Reminding us*
Won’t be long before we get girls explaining celebrity drama in NBA terms to their bfs
He looks like steve urkel
Stephan Urkennedy
Did I call thaaaaaat?
He knows he’s on tv
Best ref in the nba lol
Hands down my favorite. Dude’s hilarious.
And you never once hear about him making bad calls or any controversy
#NotAllRefs
But it’s always a ref
ARAB! Aww shit umm…
Look I hate most refs in the league because they can’t seem to be impartial with calls most of the time, but Bill at least makes the best of his camera time and is for sure one of the better refs in the league.
Because he makes you laugh?
They’re all bad, at least one of them is kinda entertaining
Most of the refs in the league make stupid calls to get attention. Bill here just acts a little silly instead. I would prefer more Bills and less Scott Fosters
Rondooooooooooo
Ur thoughts?
Prior 🤓☝️
He has the air of a children’s TV presenter. Like the NBA equivalent of Steve from Blue’s Clues
Have him reboot Reading Rainbow
I nominate LeVar Burton from the Reading Rainbow
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣noooo
Lmfao I’m dying omg
I swear I kinda got some old-school Bill Nye vibes lmao.
99% of the time when people know refs names it’s a bad thing. Bill Kennedy is the 1% of the time where it’s because he rocks.
NBA Wes McCaulley
Nah Wes is actually trash
The fuck you talking about
Wes has some funny announcements sometimes but he’s a dogshit ref that often makes games more dangerous
I had the opportunity to sit courtside as a teenager (probably 20 years ago?) During a timeout, I noticed how jacked Kennedy was and I asked him his Tricep routine. He spent a couple minutes giving me his full routine. Awesome dude
You not gonna share the routine?
It involves other dudes.
You still not gonna share?
Fr, pics or it didn’t happen.
Now I desperately need to know
Did we stutter?
Bro don’t gatekeep the routine
Choose one of either close grip bench press or weighted dips, and two of overhead extension (dumbell or cable), kick back (dumbell or cable), cable pushdown or skull crusher. Switch up your exercises every 6-8 weeks. Hit them either once or twice a week depending on how many days you workout
e.g. 3 sets of weighted dips to failure, 3 sets of dumbell overhead extensions, 2 sets of cable pushdowns. Each exercise 3-12 reps depending on if your goal is strength, hypertrophy or toning
share the routine pls
He stated it quite clearly Mr. Haliburton
It wasn’t clear enough for him 😂
Right? Bro gives the most direct and articulate description possible too
Okay but why is he dressed like a mid-level manager for an insurance company.
he’s on that quarter-zip fasion tiktok trend
I didn’t know the trend was really that hot right now. Granted quarter zips are old as time but still
Enterprise management trainee fit
truly horrible outfit by Hali
At this point I’m not sure there’s a single outfit that you can wear that some dweeb on reddit won’t criticize. It’s a quarter zip with a dress shirt and tie, it’s literally fine
Why? It’s very standard.
Hali just be thinking about his next fit rather than watching these Pacers play
Bill Kennedy is such a funny ass ref
“Look fellas… For the last time, would you stay off of my FRIGGING GRASS, PLEASE!” Mr. Stanley ass mf.
This mf was born for this
Bill really got this energy
Am I the only one getting Rob Schneider from Home Alone 2 vibes from this call? It’s uncanny.
It’s the eyes
Oh wow when I was like “damn he looks just like Rob Schneider” I thought I was crazy
Bro forgot he was courtside
My wife said he looks like Gomez Addams and now I can’t unsee it
Kennedy is eloquent, precise, and theatrical with his challenge announcements and I’m here for it all
Bill Kennedy loves announcing the results of challenges so damn much lmao
This ref sure was animated
Doing a bit much tbh
not enough
This the type of refs Puca Nacua was talking about 😂
He’s become too aware of people liking it and was exaggerating it too much here, agreed
Tyrese Halliburton with the 2K generated outfit is overlooked because of BK’s phenomenal performance.
Kennedy is gunning for MVP this season. One of my favorite refs
Main character ref syndrome this guy.
Relax, he’s entertaining and a great ref.
Yeah - he’s probably the best ref in the league and a good dude. Super entertaining too.
NBA refs really do too much in every conceivable way.
If refs are gonna be ass, at least be like Bill Kennedy
Why wasn’t he on Christmas?
That’s not Bill Kennedy. That’s Cleveland Brown!
Sounds like LeVar Burton
As a wrestling fan I can confidently say Bill Kennedy has the best mic skills of anyone in the Association including players.
Bunch of dummies in here slobbing a ref who is making this shit about himself. Who wants a ref who thinks he’s the star of the show? Fuck this shit. Just make the call you clown.
I may be the minority, but I really don’t like his over the top announcing of this shit. Be professional.
Nah it’s main character syndrome tbh, these refs all money rigged
Hailburton dressed like he’s going to join the MNF Manningcast.
GROAT
I need an NBA off season spin off where bill Kennedy just explains shit
He really talks like that huh…
Rob Schneider really doing odd jobs these days.
Got mixed feelings on Kennedy. On the one hand, generally good to have clearer explanations and some sense of humor. On the other hand, don’t want to give platforms for any refs who might be craving attention.
Bill is a funny dude. These explanations entertain me.
Bill Kennedy always looks like he’s not taking shit seriously when he’s speaking to the camera during the challenge calls.
Bill Kennedy is the only ref I respect nowadays
The facial expression just before he says the challenge is unsuccessful is so hilarious lol
I didn’t know Black Rob Schneider was an NBA ref.
When his ref career is over, I hope he gets into broadcasting.
Rondo’s best friend
Kennedy lives for these moments. Love it.
Forreal this ref so annoying. Just make the call bro
We’re not here for you
And this has been, Ya Heard? With Perd!
I need that haliburton reaction gif for the next time I try to reason with you fucks
One of the few refs that actually has tons of compilation on youtube. lol
He’s got a little sass in him
I love Kennedy man lol he’s so funny
Perd Hapley from Parks and Rec
This is the funniest bit, underrated comedian
I love that he announces his decision like its Reading Rainbow or something lol
Bill is the best
This guy needs to narrate audio books lol
BIll Kennedy is talking to the TV like he is Lavar Burton on Reading fucking Rainbow talking to 3 year olds
