In a recent update on his X account, Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque shared his opinions on the viral moment. He stated that the idea of both NBA athletes to go against each other was fantastic. However, Triple H also hinted at a possible WWE script work at play.

Meanwhile, answering back to his haters, Tyrese Haliburton made his voice heard about the ‘overrated’ tag.

“It’s just basketball, bro. I get paid a lot of money to play a child’s game. So I love what I do. I love my job. Yeah, I don’t even really look at it as a job. I have a lot of fun with what I do. And I think there’s always commentary behind what I do, positive or negative.” Haliburton said.
Thus, with things looking upbeat for Haliburton, it remains to be seen how he performs in the conference final.
