One of the strangest media moments of this NBA season got here when former participant Wally Szczerbiak, now an analyst with the Knicks, went on a rant towards Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton. After the Knicks beat the Pacers, Szczerbiak known as Haliburton a \u201cwannabe, fake All-Star\u201d in an obvious try to spice up the All-Star candidacy of New York\u2019s Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson. <\/p>\n
Haliburton was shocked at Szczerbiak\u2019s passionate criticism<\/a>, and for his half Szczerbiak has since apologized<\/a>. Szczerbiak\u2019s rant feels much more weird now after Haliburton was introduced as a first-time NBA All-Star on Thursday night time.<\/p>\n Haliburton was named a reserve within the Eastern Conference \u2014 and actually, he had a very good case to start out over Kyrie Irving. The Knicks received one All-Star in with Randle making the crew, whereas Brunson was amongst our greatest snubs. <\/p>\n After Haliburton made the All-Star crew, he immediately modified his Twitter image to a screenshot of Szczerbiak\u2019s rant<\/a>:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/source><\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n Good one from Tyrese. He\u2019s saved the receipts and altered his image, however didn\u2019t really feel the necessity to say anything about it.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s Szczerbiak\u2019s rant in full in case you haven\u2019t seen it but.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s our full have a look at the All-Star starters<\/a>, the All-Star reserves<\/a>, and the All-Star snubs<\/a>. The 2023 NBA All-Star Game goes down Feb. 19 in Utah. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/kOQW31O8dQiOdiZC7s2LkGqgmjg=\/0x0:1214x816\/320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1214x816):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/24407629\/Screen_Shot_2023_02_03_at_11.32.02_AM.png)
