Tyrese Haliburton perfectly trolled Wally Szczerbiak’s horrible take after making the All-Star team

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton was announced as a reserve for the 2023 NBA All-Star Game, and he had the best reaction.

Earlier this season, former NBA role player Wally Szczerbiak described Haliburton as a “mister supposed wannabe fake All-Star” during a broadcast for MSG Network.

At the time, when asked about the incident, the Pacers guard said he “couldn’t tell you” what Szczerbiak did as a basketball player. Haliburton added he had no intention of discussing the conflict directly with Szczerbiak, who publicly apologized.

Haliburton said it didn’t bother him very much, but when he was announced as an All-Star, he couldn’t help but take a not-so-subtle dig at Szczerbiak.

Haliburton hilariously changed his profile picture to a photo of Szczerbiaz.

He wasn’t the only one to take a shot at Szczerbiaz after the reserves were announced. Portland Trail Blazers wing Josh Hart also tweeted congrats to “fake allstar” Haliburton.

Haliburton, who processes the game at an incredibly high level, is in the midst of a fantastic campaign so far this season.

His All-Star nod was incredibly well-deserved and will likely be the first of many that he receives during his NBA career.
