Overview

  • Following Indiana's Game 5 victory over Milwaukee, John Haliburton entered the court waving a banner of his son, Tyrese, leading to a confrontation with Giannis Antetokounmpo.
  • Giannis called the act 'very disrespectful,' claiming John waved the banner and shouted profanities, which John denies, asserting he does not swear.
  • During the exchange, Giannis reportedly grabbed John's hands, pressed foreheads together, and told him not to disrespect him again.
  • Both parties have since reconciled, with Giannis and John affirming mutual respect and ending their conversation by saying 'I love you' to each other.
  • The Pacers now prepare for their second-round series against Cleveland, while the Bucks face questions about their offseason and Giannis' future in Milwaukee.
