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.
