Speaker 1: to go hold for.

Speaker 2: deserve that. You need to know what you need to
Speaker 2: tell them. I am you have THEO tell.
Speaker 3: Them it's time for Donkey of the Day.
Speaker 2: It's a read. But you're so good at Charlamagne.
Speaker 4: He wants Charlamagne.
Speaker 2: Oh damn chlomamee.
Speaker 4: Who's given dunsky other day?
Speaker 5: Soon?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 4: Well, Sexy read Donkey today for Wednesday, April thirtieth goes
Speaker 4: to John Halliburton. If you don't know who John Halliburton is.
Speaker 4: John is the father of Indiana Paces star Tyrese Haliburton. Now,
Speaker 4: last night, the Indiana Paces eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks in
Speaker 4: the NBA Playoffs. Strop on the coud bombs in Indiana
Speaker 4: Paces epic collapse by the Milwaukee Bucks. The Paces were
Speaker 4: down by seven points with forty seconds left in overtime,
Speaker 4: and then the books completely collapsed and Tyrese Halliburton's supplied
Speaker 4: the game winner.
Speaker 2: Let's listen to how I went down Halliburton five seconds
Speaker 2: one point three to go, Pacers going. He's Gary Trent Junior.
Speaker 4: End up Pacer start moving on thought.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: Naturally, after a win like that, emotions were high. Okay,
Speaker 4: if you're a Pacers fan, you was on cloud nine.
Speaker 4: If you're a fan of Tyrese Haliburton, oh, in that moment,
Speaker 4: you thought he was the greatest thing since the late
Speaker 4: great Kobe Bryant. And there is no bigger fan of
Speaker 4: you when it comes to sports than your parents. Okay,
Speaker 4: especially your father and Tyresee's dad, john sits.
Speaker 2: Court side at the games.
Speaker 4: Well, he got a little too excited because he decided
Speaker 4: to tunt you, Honis, by coming on the floor and
Speaker 4: holding up a towel with his son's face on it
Speaker 4: and shouting variations of this is what we have been do.
Speaker 4: Let's go to inside the NBA for the report police,
Speaker 4: let's listen to him.
Speaker 5: Was some love for some talking after the day, and
Speaker 5: then and then it was his dad. Yeah, it looks
Speaker 5: like halla Burton and Jest make nice and that everybody
Speaker 5: else does too.
Speaker 3: We we we love mister Halliburton. Come see the show.
Speaker 3: Don't beat the show. See the show.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think I saw ty re Is already
Speaker 7: apologized for his dad's actions for what because he wanted
Speaker 7: he don't run on the court, like know, you don't know?
Speaker 7: You don't Kevin, see the show. Don't beat the show.
Speaker 3: You can't run on the stage, cannot run on the court.
Speaker 3: And everybody on the court, everybody on the court on
Speaker 3: the court, stop, no, you stop it. He's not supposed.
Speaker 2: To be on the court.
Speaker 3: Just talked to him, forget all.
Speaker 2: No, he was on the court.
Speaker 7: So what the reason you think he said something?
Speaker 2: He probably know he dad.
Speaker 4: Is come see the show. Don't beat the show. I
Speaker 4: like that, Kenny Listen. I could go either way on this.
Speaker 4: It can be harmless or it can be harmful. But
Speaker 4: the NBA has to do a better job of protecting
Speaker 4: his stars.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: People think that just because these folks make hundreds of
Speaker 4: millions of dollars, they.
Speaker 2: Should be okay with fans talking crazy to them.
Speaker 4: Sure, heckling is one thing, but coming on the floor, no,
Speaker 4: do that from the stands.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: And furthermore, and the reason I'm giving John donkey today
Speaker 4: is because it's not about you.
Speaker 2: As Kenny Smith said, it's not about you. Okay.
Speaker 4: People need to learn that their actions do affect other people.
Speaker 4: So be careful what you say and do because it's
Speaker 4: not always just about you, John, I know that's your son.
Speaker 4: I know that you're excited, but you have to remember
Speaker 4: you represent your son in that moment, so don't do
Speaker 4: anything that embarrasses him or makes him look foolish. Also,
Speaker 4: when was the security? Why were Yannis and John allowed
Speaker 4: to get uh? I was about to say face to face,
Speaker 4: but it was more like, you know, face to waste, okay, fate.
Speaker 4: Why were they allowed to get faced to waste on
Speaker 4: each other like that? I mean Janni's towels over John,
Speaker 4: But why did that exchange even happen? I know team staffles,
Speaker 4: you know, pulled Giannis away, but why were they allowed
Speaker 4: to get that close to each other to begin with it? Y'
Speaker 4: If Yannis saw John taunting him, I'm sure others did too,
Speaker 4: so you had to know Yanna's going over to him
Speaker 4: because they were about to exchange pleasantries. Okay, what if
Speaker 4: emotions and egos would have got the best of them
Speaker 4: and they ended up scrapping right in and there. It's
Speaker 4: just stupid and it's all over things that could be prevented.
Speaker 2: Now, would you like to hear what Giannis had to
Speaker 2: say about it? Let's listen.
Speaker 1: Losing the game, emotions run high having a fan, which
Speaker 1: at the moment I thought it was fun, but then
Speaker 1: I realized it was Tyrtis's son, which I love Titis.
Speaker 1: I think is a great competitor. He was his dad. Sorry,
Speaker 1: coming in the floor and showing me his son a
Speaker 1: towel with his face. This is what we do, this
Speaker 1: is what we have to do. This if we do.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's very, very disrespectful. I'm happy for
Speaker 1: him him, and I'm happy for his son, and I'm
Speaker 1: happy that he's happy for his son. That's how you're
Speaker 1: supposed to feel. But coming to me and this expecting
Speaker 1: me and cursing at me, I think it's totally unacceptable,
Speaker 1: totally unacceptable. I'm not the guy that points fingers because
Speaker 1: in my neighborhood Snages gets stitches, so I don't want
Speaker 1: to say something, you know, for him to say to
Speaker 1: get to find on anything. But it's not respectful. I
Speaker 1: talked with him at the end and to be uh,
Speaker 1: I think we did a good place.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you one thing.
Speaker 4: The way Joanna said coming on the floor the towels
Speaker 4: sounded nasty, but Danna felt disrespected. Okay, who are we
Speaker 4: to tell him otherwise? Tyrese Haliburton said his father was wrong.
Speaker 2: Let's listen.
Speaker 6: You know, as far as the incident between the honest
Speaker 6: and my pops, I had no idea what happened till
Speaker 6: I got to the back and we showed the video. Uh.
Speaker 6: Me and my pops have talked about that, and I
Speaker 6: don't agree with you know what what transpired there from him.
Speaker 6: You know, you know, I think basketball is basketball and
Speaker 6: let's keep it on the court. And I think that
Speaker 6: he just you know, got excited saw us make the
Speaker 6: game winner and came on the court. But I think
Speaker 6: we had we had a conversation, and you know, I
Speaker 6: think he just needs to just allow me to just
Speaker 6: play basketball. Stay over there. I'll come to him to celebrate,
Speaker 6: but I'll talk with Joannest eventually about it. Just you know,
Speaker 6: I don't think that my pops wasn't the right at
Speaker 6: all there and.
Speaker 4: All it is taking away from the fact that they
Speaker 4: came back from behind and he scored a game winner.
Speaker 4: Now you got to sit up there and explain about
Speaker 4: his dad's actions. Okay, his dad apologized. He said, I
Speaker 4: sincerely apologize to Giannis, the Milwaukee Bucks, and the PACES
Speaker 4: organization for my actions following tonight's game, this was not
Speaker 4: a good reflection on our sport. Are my son and
Speaker 4: I will not make that mistake again. What is the
Speaker 4: lesson to be learned here? It's simple for me and
Speaker 4: we talked about this in another donkey earlier this week.
Speaker 4: And the lesson to be learned is our actions are
Speaker 4: guaranteed to affect others because we are not alone in
Speaker 4: this world. John made a moment that was about his son,
Speaker 4: about him. Your son hit the game winner salute. That
Speaker 4: has nothing to do with Janni's Okay, they lost. Yanna's
Speaker 4: not even a player who taunts people. Very humble man,
Speaker 4: So what was the point? But once again, our actions
Speaker 4: are guaranteed to affect others. John, you represent more than yourself.
Speaker 4: You represent your son. Okay, you have to be that
Speaker 4: much more aware of how you present yourself because you
Speaker 4: are representing more than you. I know your last name
Speaker 4: is on the back of that pace's jersey, but that's
Speaker 4: not you, brouh. You're not out there getting buckets. Your
Speaker 4: son is and his game speaks for itself. Okay, it
Speaker 4: doesn't need you speaking for it. Parents should cheer from
Speaker 4: the stands, not confront players on the court. So for
Speaker 4: that lapse in judgment, please give John Halliburton the biggest
Speaker 4: he haull.
Speaker 2: It's really that simple. Yeah, crazy, I want to say
Speaker 2: I do. I am really really proud of you for
Speaker 2: a segment.
Speaker 4: You've been giving people donkey fava, and you read so
Speaker 4: eloquently every day. You shouldn't be impressed by people that
Speaker 4: know how to read good first of all. It should
Speaker 4: be right.
Speaker 2: And I don't even care about it. It's crazy.
Speaker 3: Can't even take compliments like damn, well yi, y'all was no, no, no, no, yes,
Speaker 3: I was da.
Speaker 2: I don't even know how to say, oh, my god,
Speaker 2: thank you so much, sister, very much, my sister. I
Speaker 2: appreciate that thank you, but I hate that word eloquently.
Speaker 2: I hate that wear that. We shouldn't be applauding. Nothing
Speaker 2: of this a literacy. People are supposed to be literate.
Speaker 4: Now we come back, doctor Lakeisha Hallman will be here.
Speaker 4: She has a new book called No One Is Self Made,
Speaker 4: a motivational self help guide with a community oriented approach.
Speaker 4: When we come back, we'll talk. We'll talk to doctor
Speaker 4: Lakeisha Hallman. Okay, it's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2: The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4: Donkey of today, is sponsored by renowned personal injury attorney
Speaker 4: Michael the Bull.
Speaker 2: Lamb is soft. Don't be a donkey when you need
Speaker 2: a fight. Her on your side.

Speaker 4: That's Michael to bull dot com. And when you mess
Speaker 4: with the bull, you get the Harns.
