TIris Halliburton is a real star of the NBA, and at the age of 24, to be one of the faces of the competition in the short term. The Pacers point guard was the highest-scoring assistant last season (10.9 assists average) and was named an All-Star. However, in the US national team, the least used player was Steve Kerr, who had 12 outstanding talents at his disposal.
However, the rule, which usually shows a great sense of humor, has well taken its small role in the success of his choice. “When you don’t do anything in the collective project and they still give you a,”she wrote on his social networks with a photo in which he appears with a gold medal.
Halliburton’s participation in the Games was slightly less than attested. He played three of the six matches and did not step on the field either in the semifinals against Serbia or in the final against France. In total I accumulated 26 minutes out of a possible 240, an average of 8.8. He scored 2.7 points and distributed 0.7 assists. Last season with the Pacers he averaged 32.2 minutes, 20.1 points and 10.9 assists.
It’s hard to go from being a signal to being almost illogical, but it seems that Halliburton did not take it badly, always cheering and smiling standing on the American bench. But not all the stars of the team experienced their fall from the lead in the same way. The contrast is Jason Tatum.
The striker, despite being one of the mainstays of the champion Celtics, lagged behind Halliburton only in minutes: 71 in all matches and without jumping on the right track in the two matches against Serbia. “It was a difficult personal experience, but I’m not going to make any decisions based on feelings,”Tatum said, hanging gold around his neck.
Then he even wondered about his presence in the Angels 2028: “if you ask me now if I’m going to play, I’ll have to spend some time and think about it.”It’s hard to talk about a date when there are four years left in which Steve Kerr will not be a coach, nor LeBron James (39), nor Stephen Curry (36), nor Kevin Durant (35)…
