Speaker 4 (00:26):
Well, Sexy read Donkey today for Wednesday, April thirtieth goes
to John Halliburton. If you don't know who John Halliburton is.
John is the father of Indiana Paces star Tyrese Haliburton. Now,
last night, the Indiana Paces eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks in
the NBA Playoffs. Strop on the coud bombs in Indiana
Paces epic collapse by the Milwaukee Bucks. The Paces were
down by seven points with forty seconds left in overtime,
(00:47):
and then the books completely collapsed and Tyrese Halliburton's supplied
the game winner.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Let's listen to how I went down Halliburton five seconds
one point three to go, Pacers going. He's Gary Trent Junior.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
End up Pacer start moving on thought.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Now.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Naturally, after a win like that, emotions were high. Okay,
if you're a Pacers fan, you was on cloud nine.
If you're a fan of Tyrese Haliburton, oh, in that moment,
you thought he was the greatest thing since the late
great Kobe Bryant. And there is no bigger fan of
you when it comes to sports than your parents. Okay,
especially your father and Tyresee's dad, john sits.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Court side at the games.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Well, he got a little too excited because he decided
to tunt you, Honis, by coming on the floor and
holding up a towel with his son's face on it
and shouting variations of this is what we have been do.
Let's go to inside the NBA for the report police,
let's listen to him.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Was some love for some talking after the day, and
then and then it was his dad. Yeah, it looks
like halla Burton and Jest make nice and that everybody
else does too.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
We we we love mister Halliburton. Come see the show.
Don't beat the show. See the show.
Speaker 7 (02:11):
Yeah, and I think I saw ty re Is already
apologized for his dad's actions for what because he wanted
he don't run on the court, like know, you don't know?
You don't Kevin, see the show. Don't beat the show.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
You can't run on the stage, cannot run on the court.
And everybody on the court, everybody on the court on
the court, stop, no, you stop it. He's not supposed.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
To be on the court.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Just talked to him, forget all.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
No, he was on the court.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
So what the reason you think he said something?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
He probably know he dad.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Is come see the show. Don't beat the show. I
like that, Kenny Listen. I could go either way on this.
It can be harmless or it can be harmful. But
the NBA has to do a better job of protecting
his stars.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
People think that just because these folks make hundreds of
millions of dollars, they.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Should be okay with fans talking crazy to them.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Sure, heckling is one thing, but coming on the floor, no,
do that from the stands.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
And furthermore, and the reason I'm giving John donkey today
is because it's not about you.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
As Kenny Smith said, it's not about you. Okay.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
People need to learn that their actions do affect other people.
So be careful what you say and do because it's
not always just about you, John, I know that's your son.
I know that you're excited, but you have to remember
you represent your son in that moment, so don't do
anything that embarrasses him or makes him look foolish. Also,
when was the security? Why were Yannis and John allowed
(03:35):
to get uh? I was about to say face to face,
but it was more like, you know, face to waste, okay, fate.
Why were they allowed to get faced to waste on
each other like that? I mean Janni's towels over John,
But why did that exchange even happen? I know team staffles,
you know, pulled Giannis away, but why were they allowed
to get that close to each other to begin with it? Y'
If Yannis saw John taunting him, I'm sure others did too,
(03:57):
so you had to know Yanna's going over to him
because they were about to exchange pleasantries. Okay, what if
emotions and egos would have got the best of them
and they ended up scrapping right in and there. It's
just stupid and it's all over things that could be prevented.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Now, would you like to hear what Giannis had to
say about it? Let's listen.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Losing the game, emotions run high having a fan, which
at the moment I thought it was fun, but then
I realized it was Tyrtis's son, which I love Titis.
I think is a great competitor. He was his dad. Sorry,
coming in the floor and showing me his son a
towel with his face. This is what we do, this
is what we have to do. This if we do.
(04:37):
I feel like that's very, very disrespectful. I'm happy for
him him, and I'm happy for his son, and I'm
happy that he's happy for his son. That's how you're
supposed to feel. But coming to me and this expecting
me and cursing at me, I think it's totally unacceptable,
totally unacceptable. I'm not the guy that points fingers because
in my neighborhood Snages gets stitches, so I don't want
(04:58):
to say something, you know, for him to say to
get to find on anything. But it's not respectful. I
talked with him at the end and to be uh,
I think we did a good place.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I'll tell you one thing.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
The way Joanna said coming on the floor the towels
sounded nasty, but Danna felt disrespected. Okay, who are we
to tell him otherwise? Tyrese Haliburton said his father was wrong.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Let's listen.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
You know, as far as the incident between the honest
and my pops, I had no idea what happened till
I got to the back and we showed the video. Uh.
Me and my pops have talked about that, and I
don't agree with you know what what transpired there from him.
You know, you know, I think basketball is basketball and
let's keep it on the court. And I think that
he just you know, got excited saw us make the
(05:41):
game winner and came on the court. But I think
we had we had a conversation, and you know, I
think he just needs to just allow me to just
play basketball. Stay over there. I'll come to him to celebrate,
but I'll talk with Joannest eventually about it. Just you know,
I don't think that my pops wasn't the right at
all there and.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
All it is taking away from the fact that they
came back from behind and he scored a game winner.
Now you got to sit up there and explain about
his dad's actions. Okay, his dad apologized. He said, I
sincerely apologize to Giannis, the Milwaukee Bucks, and the PACES
organization for my actions following tonight's game, this was not
a good reflection on our sport. Are my son and
I will not make that mistake again. What is the
lesson to be learned here? It's simple for me and
(06:20):
we talked about this in another donkey earlier this week.
And the lesson to be learned is our actions are
guaranteed to affect others because we are not alone in
this world. John made a moment that was about his son,
about him. Your son hit the game winner salute. That
has nothing to do with Janni's Okay, they lost. Yanna's
not even a player who taunts people. Very humble man,
(06:42):
So what was the point? But once again, our actions
are guaranteed to affect others. John, you represent more than yourself.
You represent your son. Okay, you have to be that
much more aware of how you present yourself because you
are representing more than you. I know your last name
is on the back of that pace's jersey, but that's
not you, brouh. You're not out there getting buckets. Your
son is and his game speaks for itself. Okay, it
(07:03):
doesn't need you speaking for it. Parents should cheer from
the stands, not confront players on the court. So for
that lapse in judgment, please give John Halliburton the biggest
he haull.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
It's really that simple. Yeah, crazy, I want to say
I do. I am really really proud of you for
a segment.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
You've been giving people donkey fava, and you read so
eloquently every day. You shouldn't be impressed by people that
know how to read good first of all. It should
be right.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
And I don't even care about it. It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Can't even take compliments like damn, well yi, y'all was no, no, no, no, yes,
I was da.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I don't even know how to say, oh, my god,
thank you so much, sister, very much, my sister. I
appreciate that thank you, but I hate that word eloquently.
I hate that wear that. We shouldn't be applauding. Nothing
of this a literacy. People are supposed to be literate.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Now we come back, doctor Lakeisha Hallman will be here.
She has a new book called No One Is Self Made,
a motivational self help guide with a community oriented approach.
When we come back, we'll talk. We'll talk to doctor
Lakeisha Hallman. Okay, it's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Donkey of today, is sponsored by renowned personal injury attorney
Michael the Bull.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Lamb is soft. Don't be a donkey when you need
a fight. Her on your side.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
If you're ever injured, go to Michael to bull dot com.
That's Michael to bull dot com. And when you mess
with the bull, you get the Harns.
Your execution on the Donkey of the day is something
to go hold for.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
The reason they gave me donkey other day, and I
deserve that. You need to know what you need to
tell them. I am you have THEO tell.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Them it's time for Donkey of the Day.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
