Indiana Pacers All-Star guard Tyrese Haliburton couldn’t help but let the emotions flow in a press conference on Thursday while discussing his recent $260 million max extension.
While addressing the media, Haliburton was brought to tears as he thanked the most important person responsible for success—his mom.
“There’s so many people here for me to thank, but I’d be wrong to not start with my mom,” Haliburton said. “A lot of people don’t know this. My mom missed my first-ever game my freshman year of college because the plane didn’t take off to get to Lubbock to go to watch Texas Tech. Before my freshman year, my mom never missed a game of mine.“
