Tyrese Halliburton shares the moment he realized he would play very little in the Olympics
we know: Tyrese Halliburton lived badly the 2024 Olympic Games experience. Even if he ended up walking away with the gold medal, the Pacers leader played very little in Paris.
“When you did nothing in a group tutorial and you get an A” he even joked on social media, revealing to LeBron James today the moment he realized he was going to play hard…
“We’re at the Olympics, we’re doing a video session in the back, before the Olympics start, and we say, ‘OK, we’re going to have a team meeting to make it clear that 12 guys can’t play.’ (Steve Kerr) starts saying that not everyone is going to be able to play, and Bronn talks about how in the 2004 Olympics he didn’t play that much, and you have to put your pride aside and it’s bigger than you.” he says on the Mind The Game podcast. “And (Kevin Durant) adds, like, ‘At the end of the day, we’re 12 All-Stars, everybody’s good. We’re always trying to win, right?’ »
“And I’m sitting there listening and I’m like, ‘Yeah.’ Then when we start recording, I say to myself, ‘Who are they really talking about?’ And I look around (Stephen Curry, Anthony Edwards, Devin Booker, Jrue Holiday, Derrick White…) and I’m like, ‘Oh, he’s not talking about himself. Not even from him.’ And then I realize: ‘Ah… they’re talking about me.’ »
After all, Indiana’s leader will only play 26 minutes (three games) throughout the tournament, stuck on the bench alongside Jayson Tatum the rest of the time.
“I’m sitting there going, ‘Oh no. So that’s it?’ I was there watching the video and I couldn’t even concentrate. I was like, ‘Damn, it’s over. I won’t play a minute here. It’s over.’ »
