Much like Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum, Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton didn’t get to do much during Team USA’s gold medal win in the Olympics. As it stands, fans are reacting to the All-Star’s post and his hilarious take after the medal ceremony.
In the 2024 Paris Olympics, Haliburton provided a humorous and honest assessment of his role. Haliburton acknowledged that while he may not have been the team’s primary scoring option, his contributions in facilitating the offense and providing stifling defense were crucial to their success.
The Indiana Pacers star explained that his job was to get the ball to the right guys and get the hell out of the way, allowing the team’s superstars to shine. Haliburton’s selfless mentality and team-first approach were instrumental in helping the U.S. men’s basketball team navigate a challenging tournament and emerge victorious.
Despite not being the headline-grabbing scorer, Haliburton’s impact on the game was evident in his ability to orchestrate the offense, make timely plays, and lock down opposing players. His humble and humorous perspective on his role underscores the collaborative nature of the team’s triumph, where each player fulfilled their unique responsibilities to achieve the ultimate goal of bringing home the gold medal.

LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker also made significant contributions to the American victory.
Haliburton, despite limited playing time, earned an Olympic gold medal in the end. Despite the lack in playing time on the court, the Indiana Pacers star has a new accomplishment under his name moving forward.
