I\u2019m not trying to minimize their effort. I remember when I won, my mom never missed a game. When we won, she was scared to cross. \u2018Am I allowed to come &amp; hug my son?\u2019\u2026 Except Thanasis, my family doesn\u2019t sit courtside.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Here\u2019s the reason why Giannis Antetokounmpo went after Tyrese Haliburton\u2019s Dad.<\/p>\n<p>Completely inexcusable behavior from a fan and father.

Losing a game, emotions run high. I thought it was a fan. It was his dad. I love Tyrese. I think he\u2019s a great competitor. His dad coming on the floor &amp; showing me his son\u2019s towel with his face. \u2018This is what we do. This is what the f*** we do.\u2019 That\u2019s very, very disrespectful. My dad, who\u2019s not with us anymore, my dad used to come in the family room &amp; he\u2019s the most respectful person ever. When you come from nothing &amp; work your whole life to sell stuff in the street\u2026 you create this mentality of being humble your whole life. To not disrespect anybody\u2026 so, when his dad came here, I remembered: \u2018Dad why are you so humble?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how I grew up\u2026 Having somebody\u2019s dad \u2014 &amp; I\u2019m happy for his son &amp; him \u2014 disrespecting me &amp; cursing at me is totally unacceptable. I\u2019m not the guy that points fingers, because snitches get stitches. I don\u2019t want him to get fined. I talked with him at the end &amp; I think we\u2019re in a good place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Haliburton distanced himself: \u2018My father was wrong, we talked about it.\u2019 The two clarified and John Haliburton later apologised publicly.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Emotions were strong,\u2019 added Giannis, who finished with a triple-double. The rivalry between the Pacers and Bucks is getting more and more heated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the 119-118 defeat suffered by the Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo clashed with Tyrese Haliburton&#8217;s father, who entered the court to provoke him after his son&#8217;s decisive basket<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":440010,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[399],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[187],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-440011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","typology-video"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-30-alle-07.38.10.png","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=440011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/440010"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=440011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=440011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=440011"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=440011"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=440011"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=440011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
