Tyrese Haliburton gets asked about his “Haliban” nickname: “It’s unfortunate… the Taliban is a terrible group of people and it’s unfortunate that on social media it’s become the thing, obviously I could never publicly acknowledge it or respond, people will come in my twitch chat and spam that”

1. I wonder if he’s seen the Shaisis v Haliban edits

2. Kinda understand how he feels 

3. [removed]

4. Hali….you just publicly acknowledged it.

5. Logan’s a bit of a Japanese terrorist himself. No need to act so surprised when realizing the joke.

6. Slimothy McVeigh was the best nickname for Thunder era KD

7. happy to say i’ve witnessed the haliban vs al-shaida era of the nba

8. lmao hes not allowed to say it but im sure he finds it funny

9. lol, think about what Harden thinks of his nickname lol

10. Crazy that Halliburton got no bid contracts to Iraq too

11. East memewars went fucking insane during this. Knicks fans brigaded the sub when 9/11 jokes starting dropping.

12. Eww Jake Paul

13. Sorry, Haliban. But you hit that clutch shot in MSG, you get a nickname. That’s the deal.

14. seems like he had Voice #2 activated for this

15. My god podcast bros are insufferable

16. Really appreciate that you get to see the steam engine in between Logan’s ears go to work there as he connects Haliban to NY.

17. If your Twitch chatters are getting out of line, just hit them with the Hali-ban

18. In our circles we call him Halibut. Or The Big Fish.

19. Whys he chopping it up with the bitcoin scammer guy? Goofy

20. I wanna hear this pod but dude joined the worst possible platform to say this stuff.

21. I never even put the New York connection part together 😳

22. ‘Bro! Insaaaane!’

23. IMO it’s a great nickname. I also understand why it’s still not publicly acceptable. Some things used to just be for the internet.

24. And now we got Chetanyahu

25. We don’t need Logan Paul and his crew infiltrating the nba.

26. I’m not saying Jake Paul is worse than the Taliban but I find it funny that you have no issues going to his podcast given the things he’s done.

27. As a bucks fan, I despised Hali because I thought he was a front runner with his attitude. Then the Giannis thing happened with his dad.

    After he called his dad out for being wrong, I respected it.

    Then he went on an insane run to the finals, including the bucks games. Even acknowledging that the choke move was silly in hindsight but he thought he had just won.

    I am no longer a hater.

28. Embrace it.

29. okay we can just call him Haliburton after the military contractor that perpetrated the iraq and afghanistan war lol

30. Personally I think it’s tasteless and people should be ashamed.

    I thought Tyrese “The Oklahoma City Bomber” Haliburton was way better anyway.

31. Sucks to see hali with these dorks

32. Eww hali dont talk to one of the Pauls

33. I wonder if Steph wishes he could use “skyfucker” for things. Like he would never say anything like that during an interview, but like, I bet he wishes he could

34. He doesn’t want to be associated with bad people or war in the middle-east, guys. Just call him Haliburton.
