Indiana pacers should have celebrated the first round of victory over the Milwauki box on Tuesday evening, but the star guard Tieres Heliberton’s father decided to make all this about himself.
We all have heard of Wags – wives and girlfriends – professional athletes around, but the NBA father has taken a seat in recent years. From Lower Ball to taking their children into the league, T Mornt was thrown out of a Memphis Grouping game to argue with the referee, NBA Dads are to live here.
Heliberton’s father, John Heliberton made headlines on Tuesday, when he defeated the box in five matches and went to toe with toe with toe with Gianis Antatoconampo.
“I think it’s very, very insulting,” Antatoconampo said after the game. “My father used to come to the family room and was the most respectable person ever.”
Antetokounmpo’s father died in 2017, but Greek Freak referred to him in length during his postgame media availability because he felt so humiliated after the defeat.
The fact of this fact is that Tierace Heliberton defeated the Milwauki box – not John Heliberton. He is not in NBA. Never was there. Will never happen.
The fans are in the stand for a reason. And when he apologized for Antatoconampo and Bux on social media on Wednesday, the NBA corrected them exactly the way it would punish any fan that entered the field of playing.
“Me and my platform have talked about this, and I don’t agree with him what happened to him,” Heliberton said. “I think basketball is basketball, and let’s keep it in court.”
How embarrassing is-an NBA All-Star had to discuss his father’s poor behavior after a major victory.
Of course, after the game, the controversial moment was covered in length at TNT’s postgame show. For some reason, Shakeel O’Neel tried to protect Heliberton’s father.
“Giannis said something to him,” O’Neel said again and again.
“His father is not considered in court!” Charles Barkle replied. “He is a stupid, and you are also a stupid.”
This actually ends where the debate ends. It does not matter who started it. Fans scream things in court literally all the time. Every night, NBA players deal with Hekling fans. But things cross the line when those fans enter the court – even if they are the parents of a player.
This is not AAU. This is not Cyo. Just because you do not mean a parents that you can walk right on the floor. It is bizarre that NBA security did not interfere soon.
The first round of pacers earns him a matchup with Cleveland Cavelliers. The series begins on Sunday, in which the winner punches a ticket for the final of the Eastern Conference.
It is expected here that all parents will remain in checks.
