During the press conference, a reporter asked Haliburton for his thoughts on his style of play. He appreciated the question and used it as an opportunity to slam fans who have been criticizing his shooting form. “It’s unorthodox,” Haliburton said on Saturday. “My jumper, the way it looks. It ‘s always been criticized coming into the NBA. I think that I was honestly a big part of it and sometimes I have an effect on the game that isn’t necessarily the godly box score numbers. The way the game is digested by the fans sometimes. I think it’s a lot of boxscore watchers.”

More on this storyline
“Our team was kind of at a crossroads,” Buchanan told The Athletic by phone on Friday while reflecting on the Haliburton trade. “We didn’t really have a guy, like a young player, that you could really build around. Now Domas (Sabonis) was a terrific player and a very productive player. But we felt like in today’s modern NBA, it’s hard to build around a center unless you’ve got, like, a (Denver Nuggets star Nikola) Jokić — an MVP-caliber center. So we tried to target some young guards, playmaking guards around the league that we thought maybe fit the bill. They’re very hard to acquire, obviously. “We felt like Tyrese, with the way Rick wanted to play, and how we want to build a team in the modern NBA — playing faster, playing a little more random. Tyrese was one of the ideal targets to try to build that type of system around. That’s what coach Carlisle values, and has developed his philosophy (around) over the years and where we’re at today. It was just a great fit from that standpoint.” -via New York Times / June 8, 2025
