00:00Pacers, Bucs.
00:01It was pretty wild down the stretch.
00:03It was, but I'll just say this here, and I'm going to say it.
00:06Parents and relatives of players,
00:09don't keep getting in players' faces.
00:12You'll get in somebody's face that's going to whoop your ass,
00:15and then guess what's going to happen?
00:16You're trespassing when you get on that court.
00:19And guys have a right to protect themselves.
00:22But be careful.
00:26That doesn't happen in football a lot.
00:28No, I just think, so in case you missed this,
00:33the Pacers had a wild comeback.
00:38I mean, I think the Bucs were up six,
00:40like 20 seconds left or something.
00:43They had this wild comeback.
00:45Halliburton, now credit to Jeff,
00:47who's been like the original Halliburton guy.
00:49Jeff was an early adopter of Tyrese Halliburton being a baller.
00:54He is.
00:54He went to the hole, got a layup with like one second left,
01:001.3 seconds left in overtime that clinched a 119-118 win for Indiana.
01:09And then what happened, I thought, was way over the top.
01:15Tyrese Halliburton's dad was sitting courtside.
01:18Who looked like he's 5'6".
01:19Yeah, dude.
01:20Was sitting courtside and walked out and tried to like punk out Giannis.
01:25But why does security allow it?
01:28I don't know.
01:29They were in Indiana, right?
01:33Yes.
01:34Okay, that's the only reason that happened.
01:36Because they would have never let that happen in Milwaukee.
01:39And still, the security there should have shut it down.
01:44Giannis, after the game.
01:47Giannis, by the way, had 30-20-13.
01:49Giannis said, I believe in being humble in victory.
01:54A lot of people out there are like, no, when you win the game, you talk bleep.
01:58And it's a green light for you.
01:59You can talk, but you don't get in someone's face.
02:02Especially if you didn't have a damn thing to do with the win.
02:03You aren't playing.
02:05Yeah.
02:07Giannis said, having a fan, which at that moment I thought it was a fan.
02:10But then I realized it was Tyrese's dad, which I love Tyrese.
02:13I think he's a great competitor.
02:14Well, Daddy would have had a black eye saying, son, man, I got too close.
02:17He punched me.
02:17His dad coming on the floor and showing me his son, a towel with his face on it, saying,
02:22this is what we do.
02:23We do this.
02:23I feel that's very, very disrespectful.
02:26And he's right.
02:29But I watched the security guys stand around him and basically do nothing.
02:35They should have grabbed him and dragged him off of the court.
02:37But I don't care if it's Tyrese Halliburton's dad.
02:39You know what, Halliburton?
02:40If your dad crossed the line, he needs to be dealt with.
02:43Halliburton, to his credit, after the game, he needs to allow me to just play basketball
02:48and stay over there and I'll come to him to celebrate.
02:51But the emotions of the game got excited there.
02:53I talked to them.
02:54I'll talk with Giannis.
02:55I don't think my pops was in the right at all there.
02:58All right.
02:58Yeah.
02:58Because the next time you're going to be saying, man, I have to help my dad out
03:04because your dad's going to run up on the wrong person and they're going to deal with him.
