Indiana Pacers’ star Tyrese Haliburton has recently made multiple appearances to talk about WWE. Speaking with Stephanie McMahon on her
What’s Your Story? podcast, Haliburton also talked about the
NBA and his family members.
He said:
“You know how many times I’ve tried to convince your husband to let me go through a table or do something? He’s like ‘The NBA would never let us.'”
Then, further talking about his mother and his
fiance’s Jade’s relationship, he admitted:
“I think at first there was a little like there always is for, I'm my mom's baby… Let me go for a little bit. And I'm not the greatest communicator. So when my mom wants to know everything that's going on and when I don't tell her, then it was like it was Jade's fault that I wasn't telling her and so there was a little, for a little bit…”

He then clarified that the issues mostly started because of his communication style. He laughed and went on:
“And she never, like I said I was a spoiled child and I also was, my brothers will say I was the golden child.
So I never get, I rarely get yelled at. And so my mom was like, who do I put the blame on? It would be Jade..”
Haliburton, who mockingly referred to himself as the "golden child" who was rarely scolded, claimed that his
mother would seek for someone to blame. Then he added:
“When I got traded here to Indiana and I had to leave the next day to get here and my mom and Jade had to put together how are we gonna sell all the furniture, how are we gonna get rid of everything and get the dogs here and coordinate everything like that. They have been thick as thieves ever since…”
A difficult dynamic resulted from this early conflict. It then took a momentous occasion to finally unite his mother and his partner.
