Like any other NBA prospect, people had their doubts about Tyrese Haliburton. Regardless, the Sacramento Kings saw his potential and selected the sophomore from Iowa State 12th overall in the 2020 NBA Draft.

This was all over two years ago. Since then, Haliburton has proved his worth in the NBA and is now one of the top contributors for the Indiana Pacers. The 22-year-old is a huge fan of proving people wrong and loves reminding them of it.

He recently sat down with Jackson Frank, a journalist for UPROXX Dime. During his interview, Tyrese Haliburton recalled some of Frank's old tweets.

“I got two tweets to read you,” Haliburton said, per Frank's article.

“First one is, ‘I think many people are intrigued by Haliburton as a top-7 pick b/c of his perceived versatility playing on or off-ball. But the issue for me is he can’t really play on the ball & needs multiple guys to create advantages for him, which most teams drafting that highly don’t have.'”

Frank said that it was all in good fun, and that Tyrese Haliburton had every right to remind him that he was wrong back in 2020.

The Pacers guard also read another tweet in which Frank favored Kira Lewis over him.

Haliburton said that these tweets and “a lot” of other things are saved in his bookmarks.

“I was like, ‘Man, one day I’m gonna get to talk to Jackson Frank and I’m gonna read these to him.' But it’s OK, because now you show me love.”

Frank is off the hook, but who knows how many other tweets he has saved up in his arsenal of receipts?
