[Highlight] Tyrese Haliburton “I see I’m being called Tyrese Haliburger on social media”
Bro saw the nba memes post on Twitter
Happens to the best of us. Last night there was a meme of me dunking on Lebron but they made my hips wiggle
You expect us to believe your tall tales?!
Sir, may I please have your name and jersey number!?
Its KD bruh… it’s always KD
It’s not him, trust me bro. His name is Cortez
you just know he has a burner fighting for his life in those replies
Not everyone is KD.
Most people on Twitter are KD.
I am Durantacus
Extremely underrated post. And I want you to know that I am also durantacus
KD starts the rumors on himself then defends the living shit out of him.
There are levels to this
His haliburner
[removed]
😭😭😭 thats foul
Frygrease Haliburger is right there
I’m pretty sure he knows.
It’s better to keep it to either the first or last name so it doesn’t lose recognizability
Im fuckin dead. Shit’s heinous 😂😂😂
Shawn Kemp used to be called Shawn Klump once he blew up
If Mark Jones is still calling games, he will use this and say Frygrease hotter than fish grease😭😭
Welp he aint :/
he’s only done with ESPN, but he is still calling games for Sacramento
Frygrease Belly-Burton
Belly-Burstin*
Frygrease Belly-Burpin’

I’m assuming you’re saying he stole your joke, but the comment doesn’t exist anymore family
Damn, mods nuked the thread with the nicknames. But it’s low hanging fruit not intellectual property lol
Frygrease calorieburpin will live on
Tyrese Hellaburpin
come on big dawg lmao he’s had a rough 12 months LOL
FUCKING FOUL LMAO
Frygrease Haliban.
Dude for him to take jokes in the midst of what he’s going through is amazing. I love him and always thought we was an Allstar PG.
So clutch, and likeable. Could end up being right up there with Reggie in Indiana folklore.
That game Finals Game 7 is one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve seen. After the run they had in the post season, and a good start in that game it has to be soul crushing to never know what could have been.
Man, it would’ve been one thing if the Pacers looked outmatched and then he went down but they were right there with the Thunder and Hali was on fire to start that game. It’s always going to be a huge “What if”
There never should have been a game seven. Fuck Scott Foster.
It breaks my heart to this day.
I fall asleep crying every night.
Same. It’s really insane thinking about how astronomically different the media narrative regarding OKC would’ve been had Halis Achilles just hung on for a couple more hours…
We all remember OKC won. But as years go by, you kinda forget just how close they were to not winning. There’s def an alternate reality where the Pacers won and the loss caused a big morale hit to OKC, and the Spurs are the current 1 seed rn while OKC is looking to get their first chip on a redemption tour and yada yada lol
I have FULL belief that if Hali doesn’t go down they win. There was just so much momentum and the only thing that could snap it … is what happened.
I have full belief Pacers win game 4 if Scott Foster wasn’t the ref.
We all remember OKC won. But as years go by, you kinda forget just how close they were to not winning
And the refs bailed the Thunder so much in one of their wins, I think it was game 5 or 6
They got Scott Fostered in G4
I was never huge into sports but I followed because one of our graduates (I’m a professor) is their analytics manager. I came to the work the next day and was like “I realized the real reason I don’t like sports” and my coworker was like “Because your heart can’t handle it?” “Yup.”
I totally get that…but for me that’s also part of what makes you feel alive. Total exhilaration or the agony of defeat. That post season run for Indy brought plenty of both.
I think the Thunder still would’ve won but the Pacers were on such a heater maybe the most heartbreaking injury I ever saw in basketball
I’ve never seen the pacers lose a game when Tyrese comes out aggressive like that
Absolutely no way y’all lose that game if Hali didn’t go down. Dude was tearing them up.
especially with how clutch he had been playing, it’s hard to count them out if he’s in the game.
Watching the entire Indy run up until the moment of that injury just made it 1000000x worse. Easily one of my favorite playoffs ive watched. Hoping Hali can get back to that level and win.
could end up? Miller was a great player, ahead of his time, but Haliburton is another tier and eventually people will realize it once they learn to evaluate the game and not the numbers.
This 25 year old took a historically great team to 7 and hit game winners in ever single series. He sped run Reggie Millers career.
Yeah, I actually agree, but time served is still a part of the “folklore” equation.
Um… Tyrese has some street art already, but we’re talking about Reggie Fucking Miller, who has a 60-foot mural right downtown. Haliburton has some headroom to advance in Indiana folklore to get to Reggie.
Let’s not act Reggie basically did something similar thing an historical great team in 2000. That run he had was crazy. I don’t see how Tyrese is in another tier
What? He had one good playoff run nowhere close to Reggie. Must not have ever seen Reggie play. This sub loves glazing hali so much for some reason
The is wildly disrespectful to Reggie
His clutch shot run in the playoffs was unprecedented and may never be repeated
I think he’s already there.
Personally I hate him
Don’t talk to me right now.
It’d be a crying shame if a team gave this guy up for pennies on the dollar
I’m from NY so i hate him, but i like him. he seems a nice dude
Not sure if you saw this (I’m not really a Pacers fan and don’t keep up with NBA social media, despite the fact that I’m here right now lol) but here he’s being super likeable while playing Geoguessr memory lane with Rainbolt. Figured you’d enjoy this if you’re a Hali fan.
How’s Indiana just keep producing all star PG? It’s like the Spurs just keep getting generational big man as a tradition.
Is this a Paul George joke, or am I missing something? Tyrese is the only all star point guard I can remember us ever having. Mark Jackson is the next best in the last 30 years I guess but he wasn’t really developed here (and honestly Tyrese was on the way to being an all star before we got him as well). Otherwise, Tinsley, George Hill, etc were decent but hardly the same level as the Spurs and Robinson/Duncan/Wemby
oladipo
SG. If you expand the definition to include all guards, I suppose the Pacers have been fairly elite there since 1990
Indiana can thank the idiocy of the Kings owner
Compared to what he’s going thru the jokes are probably nothing lol. Shingles + Achilles tear is insane
Fame is a wave, you either ride it or crash out
Hopefully he just sees the memes and has fun with it, he probably saw the haliban/taliban memes because he was a single terrorist to some teams in how he just decided that day, he is going to ball out. I know that it’s more than the feelings or whatever, but dude was a solid athlete, never played on my team but he handles the media with class.
This is the kind of guy I love to work with
Super laid back, and can make the jokes about him even better
You’re always on his side. I try to be this at work. Too many ppl coming in talking about, “I’m type A”
Naw bro, you a just an asshole
Shingles meds were exactly what I said. He wasn’t putting on weight before the shingles, even despite the injury. And meds like prednisone or similar can make you gain weight so fast and make you really carry a lot of it in your face and neck.
Hope he feels better soon. What a pain to deal with shingles after already dealing with the Achilles injury.
Last year I had shingles on the back of my head. At the time I was 40, and initially didn’t suspect it was that because I was considered young to have them. It was a nightmare to deal with.
I had it almost a decade ago and it centered around my left temple. There wasn’t an overwhelming amount of pain with it luckily, but the eye doctor ends up telling me if I’d delayed getting it checked for a few more days I could have gone blind in my left eye.
As I heard a different Doctor once say after being asked advice about shingles, “Don’t get them.”
Damn, I also had them on my left temple about 8 or 9 years ago. It didn’t hurt and responded very well to drugs though so it was quick. Except the doctor told me the same thing… if you wait for it spread, could have lost eyesight.
I got it on my forehead this year at 35 years old . Luckily I went to the emergency department and got a prescription on like day 3 and it didn’t last very long. Still have a scar though
My sister had shingles on her legs when she was about 2 years old. One of if not the youngest case at the time and she is in a medical book somewhere
I had it last year too (41) and they didn’t diagnose it! So I just lived on Tylenol, Advil and lidocaine on my chest for like 6 weeks until I got the rash and then the doc was like “whoops. We could have given you medicine!” Absolutely horrible pain all day everyday. 0/10 do not recommend.
And for nerve pain, they may prescribe gabapentin which also has weight gain side effects. I killed my metabolism trying to lose weight after getting shingles at like 26-27. Took a minute to lose the weight
My super high metabolism friend got shingles in his 20s. Didn’t gain a fucking pound. Dude is like 6 ft 120.
That’s not super high metabolism that’s an eating disorder
He’s cosplaying The Machinist.
I’m 6’1 180, but 15-20lbs of it is extra skin from previous weight loss. I eat normally now, and struggle to maintain a healthy, high enough, weight. I’m not saying you’re wrong, I am saying there is a wide spectrum of weight issues.
And for the curious, I was 5’9 and ~330 when I graduated high-school (09). I grew 4 inches the next year and a half, and weighed 300lbs when I was 19, not really changing anything. I decided to cut out all liquid calories, except milk with dinner, and control my portions. I got down to 200lbs within a year.
It’s like my metabolism has been playing catch up ever since, and if I skip a meal it takes its pound of flesh. I remember seeing 161 on the scale at the doctor’s office during an annual med re-up in the late 2010s, and it took me 2 years to get back north of 180.
Wait what? Your were 330 and then struggled to get back over 180
Nah, your friend just isn’t eating enough calories. Either that or he has worms in his body.
Oh I didn’t mention my friend is actually a million worms?
I took prednisone for a bit during cancer treatment 2 years ago. You literally cannot resist those cravings dude, it’s hell.
And holding tons of water in your face is so horrible lmao. I had it with acne on top of that, just the absolute ugliest cretin i’ve ever been. Thank god it happened during covid so i hardly saw anyone
Ohh man I was on prednisone when I got mono back in college. What’s crazy is that while I was on it my face was the most spotless it’s ever been in my life. The moment I got off it, my face broke out into the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. Fortunately it went away after a week or so, but same with you… I felt like a hideous creature
As a blood cancer patient thats in remission, I used to be on so much prednisone and this is so true.
I had HL! Shoutout blood cancer.
Idk what was worse, the cancer, or the steroids LMAO
I’d rather do another round of chemo over ever having to taste those disgusting prednisone pills
Haha true that!
Prednisone can also mess with your emotions pretty bad. It must be rough to be feeling like shit physically, emotionally, and getting clowned on for it.
Oh my god yes. It makes you so strung up
Some of my friends and family had to take Pred for a while and they all absolutely packed on the weight. I don’t think there’s a lot you can do about it, right?
Prednisone also changes how insulin works in your body, so even if you watch your calorie intake, you still gain weight because your sugar absorption is messed up.
even worse to get made fun of for dealing with it.
Reminds me of that Mitch Hedberger joke about lupus
I got shingles all over my torso and around to my back when I was 26, shit was brutal, but I never gained weight taking the meds then again it was valtrex
Damn, have I been unknowingly taking shingles medication the past couple of years?
Man this dude deserves to happy and healthy
I have to admit I don’t know anything about the modern NBA and I’m not familiar with him, but I’m gonna be a fan of him after today… Excuse my PSA but don’t assume anything, go to the doctor. I thought it’s an old people disease but it’s just more common over 50 and you can’t get the Shingrix vaccine below that unless immunocompromised. I’m 38, 6’3” 220, WFH data engineer so not the easiest job but absolutely not physically stressful.
I thought I had poison ivy rash on my back from a ton bushwork last week, and I can get it bad so thankfully followed that regimen. I saw TH’s presser earlier on /r/all and it convinced me to go to urgent care this afternoon. I lifted my shirt to show the bandages around my right side and Doc goes ya put your shirt down it’s 100% shingles. Started on Valtrex, turns out if I had waited another day they might not be as effective and I could get nerve damage.
I had to too last year at 46yo. It blows!!! Valtrex FTW. You don’t want PHN. Take care of yourself.
As a bucks fan, most likeable I’ve ever seen the guy. Sees shit on social media and taking it in stride while clearly explaining what is happening getting upset
He’s always been likeable. Buck fans just don’t like him because he owns the franchise the past few years and was the better player vs. Giannis
Feel bad for him, then. Owning the bucks is a horrible investment.
God we suck and will suck for a while
Saltiest fanbase in the NBA unfortunately
Bucks fans? Really? I didn’t expect that honestly
Lakers would be if the league didnt conspire to make them good
I would say that it’s natural for that to be the case when a championship team is in its Fall of Rome stage, but honestly the annoying part of this fanbase got intolerable by like 2019.
Big fan of his, bucks fans have just been extra salty in general for a bunch of valid reason. Doc, Giannis being annoying af, everything going downhill since Dame, once Giannis is gone we’ll be nothing again lol
He’s literally always like this
I liked him on the kings, I like him on the pacers, wish he was in my team’s jersey. He seems genuinely down to earth and everyone who works with him loves him.
And he’s from Wisconsin. Like guys, he may not be our guy, but he’s OUR guy.
Herro and knueppel too, what’s going on in WI lol
Eat cheese and chill
Jordan Poole! Jalen Johnson! But also Patrick Baldwin Jr and Johnny Davis. Can’t get over how awful Davis was.
Kevon Looney!
Bulls fan, he’s my favorite player by far.
as much as he pissed me off in the playoffs i literally cant help but like him
hes too nice and also watching him kill the knicks is always great
He’s a great guy and a great ambassador for the league.
Yeah its just his Dad who is insufferable and he tries to reign him in too, all around Tyrese is a great dude, apple rolled its ass far away from that tree.
Even his dad isn’t that bad. Everybody remembers the Giannis thing, which was totally stupid by John, but for the most part, he’s pretty tame. He even went to a good number of Pacers games this year despite them tanking and his son not playing. This isn’t a Tee Morant situation.
John’s a good guy who did a dumb thing. There isn’t much else there.
I really liked him in Starting 5 too, he’s just a passionate Dad living vicariously through his son. I agree I don’t get Tee Morant vibes at all from John Haliburton.
He seems like a total sweetheart!
My Giannis drama burnout combined with this endearing humility - Tyrese is about me to make me fall for him
how can you not love this guy
RIP Kings fans
He’s so likeable, truly
This dude is so easy to cheer for lol
He looks like one of those pastors that uses the church money for clothes lmao
He got into a wrestling fan physique
Not as bad as Haliban
Not as cool, you mean
That nickname is hard what you taking about
I like the name too, but I totally get why Tyrese wasnt a fan and the name didnt stick with media etc. He probably much prefers haliburger
He was laughing when he said he didn’t like it .
It’d just be bad look to truly embrace that name
It’s hilarious tho
Not sustainable though. I doubt he really wanted a long term nickname that associated him with the Taliban lol. Just as no player probably wants a Nazi related nickname.
The name is cool though
Haliban is a good nickname a “positive” connotation to it, “HaliBURGER” isn’t 😭🤣.
He terrorized us 😭😭😭
Unironically one of the best NBA nicknames in years. All the other ones are kinda forced or are actually insults.
Dude is taking it like a champ. I love this guy
He’s the best. Got that damn smile on despite all that shit
genuinely rooting for this guy
Same, im gonna sound like a dick but a championship might mean more for pacers fans than any other fanbase
idk a player that takes hate and jokes better than this dude tbh.
The fact that he posted the pic of him with the gold medal joking about getting an a on a group project and it was all in good nature. I can’t wait to see Halliburton and pacers succeed next season
Ita weird, to get to the nba most people get an ego the size of mt. Everest but this guy definitely does not fit that mold.
Can’t think of another superstar ever like him besides maybe Tim Duncan and kareem
I think it depends. You can have a massive ego thats so large that you just dont care about what random nobodies say about you. Not saying thats him. But some of these guys must just not care about what fans think. I mean, why should they?
Watching him make such a point to NOT endorse the Haliban nickname was so fucking funny
Dude is so likeable hahaha
I’m not gonna say I’m above in as I’m guilty of it in the past
But it’s fucked up how people still make fun of others sudden changes in appearances without knowing the cause. I’ve seen so much sentiment about how it it’s wrong and it shouldn’t be done as you never know someone’s medical conditions after Chadwick Boseman passing, but I guess the sentiment isn’t everywhere
Hali is a standup guy for going along with it
He seems like an good guy
Tyrese Haliburnt ends
Tyrese owning it is the right move, the alternative is pretending you don’t see it and that just makes it worse. Glad he’s healthy enough to laugh about social media stuff again, that whole rehab couldn’t have been easy
Tyrese Saladburton. He will be back to destroying the bucks in no time. And im a bucks fan
This guy is talking about his unfortunate situation and he is still smiling and taking all the memes like a champ. How can you hate this guy?
Looks likd his face is on a Tracy McGrady trajectory too
My favorite player
Hey at least it’s not Haliban
Haliban is a sick ass nickname. Haliburger has no other uses outside if being derogatory.
Ngl that would be a great limited time special at select local Burger joints. Portion of the proceeds going to his charity of choice.
He got it from very positive connotation of him “terrorizing” opponent teams with great plays… so while more offensive you can kind of be proud of that one. No one really enjoys having nicknames that related to being simply fat…
Y’all trying to turn this into his villain arc and I’m with it
Bro I fucking love this guy
My wife had shingles for an entire summer back in 2019. My sympathies go to Tyrese, it’s not fun to deal with.
He still prob drop 20 and 12 on your team lol.
Ooh yeah a combo of prednisone and lyrics you gonna blow up like a balloon.
I love my guy but this angle and those glasses, he’s looking like Shock G.
What the helly?
This guy is always smiling, I honestly just enjoy seeing him, regardless if its NBA related or not.
I like him more now. He seems down to earth and he’s not afraid to laugh at himself
He just a chill guy fr
Hali is the man
Sir, a second Hamburger was eaten
Thats ass
Thats also hilarious
Hope he gets better soon
Yeah he’s not gonna be the same next year
I got shingles on my face a long time ago. That shit is awful. My earlobe looked like hamburger meat. I still get a random spot or 2 on my head that’s raised and sensitive.
He’s got a really great attitude about things
A+ awareness
He’s such a good dude.
I gotta say hes taking all this like a champ
Hali seems like a cool dude.
I had face shingles last year. Worst headaches in my entire life.
Would you like to super size your meal?
Nah I want the Haliburton meal deal!
Roll into it, get a sponsorship with McDonalds, or Tyson Chicken.
Westbrooks thin skin would have asked security to escort the interviewer.
I am just kidding for westbrook fans.
Not caucasian Luka
honestly he looks as fine as he’s ever looked
God the nba is so fucking boring now
Shingles is painful and annoying.
He’s taking it all well, just a good sport about it all
Bro should leverage this into a Burger king endorsement deal
He would definitely prefer Haliburger take over for Haliban.
Haliban goes hard tbh
