- 0:35Speaker 4: last night, the Indiana Paces eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks in
- 0:37Speaker 4: the NBA Playoffs. Strop on the coud bombs in Indiana
- 0:40Speaker 4: Paces epic collapse by the Milwaukee Bucks. The Paces were
- 0:45Speaker 4: down by seven points with forty seconds left in overtime,
- 0:47Speaker 4: and then the books completely collapsed and Tyrese Halliburton's supplied
- 0:51Speaker 4: the game winner.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Let's listen to how I went down Halliburton five seconds
- 1:03Speaker 2: one point three to go, Pacers going. He's Gary Trent Junior.
- 1:13Speaker 4: End up Pacer start moving on thought.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Now.
- 1:19Speaker 4: Naturally, after a win like that, emotions were high. Okay,
- 1:22Speaker 4: if you're a Pacers fan, you was on cloud nine.
- 1:24Speaker 4: If you're a fan of Tyrese Haliburton, oh, in that moment,
- 1:26Speaker 4: you thought he was the greatest thing since the late
- 1:28Speaker 4: great Kobe Bryant. And there is no bigger fan of
- 1:30Speaker 4: you when it comes to sports than your parents. Okay,
- 1:34Speaker 4: especially your father and Tyresee's dad, john sits.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Court side at the games.
- 1:38Speaker 4: Well, he got a little too excited because he decided
- 1:41Speaker 4: to tunt you, Honis, by coming on the floor and
- 1:43Speaker 4: holding up a towel with his son's face on it
- 1:46Speaker 4: and shouting variations of this is what we have been do.
- 1:51Speaker 4: Let's go to inside the NBA for the report police,
- 1:53Speaker 4: let's listen to him.
- 1:53Speaker 5: Was some love for some talking after the day, and
- 1:57Speaker 5: then and then it was his dad. Yeah, it looks
- 2:00Speaker 5: like halla Burton and Jest make nice and that everybody
- 2:05Speaker 5: else does too.
- 2:06Speaker 3: We we we love mister Halliburton. Come see the show.
- 2:09Speaker 3: Don't beat the show. See the show.
- 2:11Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think I saw ty re Is already
- 2:13Speaker 7: apologized for his dad's actions for what because he wanted
- 2:17Speaker 7: he don't run on the court, like know, you don't know?
- 2:20Speaker 7: You don't Kevin, see the show. Don't beat the show.
- 2:25Speaker 3: You can't run on the stage, cannot run on the court.
- 2:28Speaker 3: And everybody on the court, everybody on the court on
- 2:34Speaker 3: the court, stop, no, you stop it. He's not supposed.
- 2:39Speaker 2: To be on the court.
- 2:40Speaker 3: Just talked to him, forget all.
- 2:41Speaker 2: No, he was on the court.
- 2:42Speaker 7: So what the reason you think he said something?
- 2:45Speaker 2: He probably know he dad.
- 2:46Speaker 4: Is come see the show. Don't beat the show. I
- 2:49Speaker 4: like that, Kenny Listen. I could go either way on this.
- 2:51Speaker 4: It can be harmless or it can be harmful. But
- 2:53Speaker 4: the NBA has to do a better job of protecting
- 2:55Speaker 4: his stars.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Okay.
- 2:56Speaker 4: People think that just because these folks make hundreds of
- 2:58Speaker 4: millions of dollars, they.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Should be okay with fans talking crazy to them.
- 3:02Speaker 4: Sure, heckling is one thing, but coming on the floor, no,
- 3:06Speaker 4: do that from the stands.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Okay.
- 3:07Speaker 4: And furthermore, and the reason I'm giving John donkey today
- 3:10Speaker 4: is because it's not about you.
- 3:12Speaker 2: As Kenny Smith said, it's not about you. Okay.
- 3:15Speaker 4: People need to learn that their actions do affect other people.
- 3:18Speaker 4: So be careful what you say and do because it's
- 3:20Speaker 4: not always just about you, John, I know that's your son.
- 3:23Speaker 4: I know that you're excited, but you have to remember
- 3:26Speaker 4: you represent your son in that moment, so don't do
- 3:28Speaker 4: anything that embarrasses him or makes him look foolish. Also,
- 3:32Speaker 4: when was the security? Why were Yannis and John allowed
- 3:35Speaker 4: to get uh? I was about to say face to face,
- 3:38Speaker 4: but it was more like, you know, face to waste, okay, fate.
- 3:41Speaker 4: Why were they allowed to get faced to waste on
- 3:42Speaker 4: each other like that? I mean Janni's towels over John,
- 3:45Speaker 4: But why did that exchange even happen? I know team staffles,
- 3:49Speaker 4: you know, pulled Giannis away, but why were they allowed
- 3:51Speaker 4: to get that close to each other to begin with it? Y'
- 3:54Speaker 4: If Yannis saw John taunting him, I'm sure others did too,
- 3:57Speaker 4: so you had to know Yanna's going over to him
- 4:00Speaker 4: because they were about to exchange pleasantries. Okay, what if
- 4:03Speaker 4: emotions and egos would have got the best of them
- 4:05Speaker 4: and they ended up scrapping right in and there. It's
- 4:08Speaker 4: just stupid and it's all over things that could be prevented.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Now, would you like to hear what Giannis had to
- 4:12Speaker 2: say about it? Let's listen.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Losing the game, emotions run high having a fan, which
- 4:19Speaker 1: at the moment I thought it was fun, but then
- 4:21Speaker 1: I realized it was Tyrtis's son, which I love Titis.
- 4:24Speaker 1: I think is a great competitor. He was his dad. Sorry,
- 4:27Speaker 1: coming in the floor and showing me his son a
- 4:31Speaker 1: towel with his face. This is what we do, this
- 4:33Speaker 1: is what we have to do. This if we do.
- 4:37Speaker 1: I feel like that's very, very disrespectful. I'm happy for
- 4:40Speaker 1: him him, and I'm happy for his son, and I'm
- 4:42Speaker 1: happy that he's happy for his son. That's how you're
- 4:44Speaker 1: supposed to feel. But coming to me and this expecting
- 4:47Speaker 1: me and cursing at me, I think it's totally unacceptable,
- 4:51Speaker 1: totally unacceptable. I'm not the guy that points fingers because
- 4:54Speaker 1: in my neighborhood Snages gets stitches, so I don't want
- 4:58Speaker 1: to say something, you know, for him to say to
- 5:00Speaker 1: get to find on anything. But it's not respectful. I
- 5:03Speaker 1: talked with him at the end and to be uh,
- 5:06Speaker 1: I think we did a good place.
- 5:08Speaker 2: I'll tell you one thing.
- 5:08Speaker 4: The way Joanna said coming on the floor the towels
- 5:10Speaker 4: sounded nasty, but Danna felt disrespected. Okay, who are we
- 5:15Speaker 4: to tell him otherwise? Tyrese Haliburton said his father was wrong.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Let's listen.
- 5:19Speaker 6: You know, as far as the incident between the honest
- 5:22Speaker 6: and my pops, I had no idea what happened till
- 5:24Speaker 6: I got to the back and we showed the video. Uh.
- 5:28Speaker 6: Me and my pops have talked about that, and I
- 5:30Speaker 6: don't agree with you know what what transpired there from him.
- 5:34Speaker 6: You know, you know, I think basketball is basketball and
- 5:37Speaker 6: let's keep it on the court. And I think that
- 5:39Speaker 6: he just you know, got excited saw us make the
- 5:41Speaker 6: game winner and came on the court. But I think
- 5:44Speaker 6: we had we had a conversation, and you know, I
- 5:45Speaker 6: think he just needs to just allow me to just
- 5:47Speaker 6: play basketball. Stay over there. I'll come to him to celebrate,
- 5:51Speaker 6: but I'll talk with Joannest eventually about it. Just you know,
- 5:55Speaker 6: I don't think that my pops wasn't the right at
- 5:57Speaker 6: all there and.
- 5:58Speaker 4: All it is taking away from the fact that they
- 6:01Speaker 4: came back from behind and he scored a game winner.
- 6:03Speaker 4: Now you got to sit up there and explain about
- 6:05Speaker 4: his dad's actions. Okay, his dad apologized. He said, I
- 6:08Speaker 4: sincerely apologize to Giannis, the Milwaukee Bucks, and the PACES
- 6:11Speaker 4: organization for my actions following tonight's game, this was not
- 6:14Speaker 4: a good reflection on our sport. Are my son and
- 6:16Speaker 4: I will not make that mistake again. What is the
- 6:18Speaker 4: lesson to be learned here? It's simple for me and
- 6:20Speaker 4: we talked about this in another donkey earlier this week.
- 6:23Speaker 4: And the lesson to be learned is our actions are
- 6:25Speaker 4: guaranteed to affect others because we are not alone in
- 6:29Speaker 4: this world. John made a moment that was about his son,
- 6:32Speaker 4: about him. Your son hit the game winner salute. That
- 6:35Speaker 4: has nothing to do with Janni's Okay, they lost. Yanna's
- 6:39Speaker 4: not even a player who taunts people. Very humble man,
- 6:42Speaker 4: So what was the point? But once again, our actions
- 6:44Speaker 4: are guaranteed to affect others. John, you represent more than yourself.
- 6:47Speaker 4: You represent your son. Okay, you have to be that
- 6:50Speaker 4: much more aware of how you present yourself because you
- 6:52Speaker 4: are representing more than you. I know your last name
- 6:56Speaker 4: is on the back of that pace's jersey, but that's
- 6:58Speaker 4: not you, brouh. You're not out there getting buckets. Your
- 7:01Speaker 4: son is and his game speaks for itself. Okay, it
- 7:03Speaker 4: doesn't need you speaking for it. Parents should cheer from
- 7:06Speaker 4: the stands, not confront players on the court. So for
- 7:09Speaker 4: that lapse in judgment, please give John Halliburton the biggest
- 7:13Speaker 4: he haull.
- 7:17Speaker 2: It's really that simple. Yeah, crazy, I want to say
- 7:21Speaker 2: I do. I am really really proud of you for
- 7:22Speaker 2: a segment.
- 7:23Speaker 4: You've been giving people donkey fava, and you read so
- 7:26Speaker 4: eloquently every day. You shouldn't be impressed by people that
- 7:29Speaker 4: know how to read good first of all. It should
- 7:31Speaker 4: be right.
- 7:33Speaker 2: And I don't even care about it. It's crazy.
- 7:36Speaker 3: Can't even take compliments like damn, well yi, y'all was no, no, no, no, yes,
- 7:41Speaker 3: I was da.
- 7:42Speaker 2: I don't even know how to say, oh, my god,
- 7:43Speaker 2: thank you so much, sister, very much, my sister. I
- 7:47Speaker 2: appreciate that thank you, but I hate that word eloquently.
- 7:51Speaker 2: I hate that wear that. We shouldn't be applauding. Nothing
- 7:54Speaker 2: of this a literacy. People are supposed to be literate.
- 8:03Speaker 4: Now we come back, doctor Lakeisha Hallman will be here.
- 8:07Speaker 4: She has a new book called No One Is Self Made,
- 8:09Speaker 4: a motivational self help guide with a community oriented approach.
- 8:14Speaker 4: When we come back, we'll talk. We'll talk to doctor
- 8:16Speaker 4: Lakeisha Hallman. Okay, it's the Breakfast Club.
