Tyrese Haliburton and Pat McAfee have brushed shoulders on numerous occasions. As a former member of the Indianapolis Colts, the ESPN star adopted the Indiana Pacers and Fever as his favorite teams. Haliburton and McAfee spent two of the previous three Colts games together, making for a formidable fan duo.
In his signature sleeveless shirt look, donning a white-and-blue tie-die vest, McAfee greeted Haliburton, smiling with open arms. Before the two embraced, McAfee revealed his Pacers hat to Haliburton, letting the star point guard know it's all love. However, Haliburton probably didn't need to see the hat to know McAfee admires him.
McAfee has had Haliburton on his show twice in the last few months, sporting Pacers gear and displaying a general respect for the star and his team. Although the two make for quite the odd pairing of stars and personalities, both have made a splash in their respective career paths. Furthermore, perhaps thanks to McAfee's WWE ties, Haliburton tried his hand at several shows.
Most recently, Haliburton appeared on WWE's NXT, where he spat a dastardly promo slandering the Orlando Magic and their fans. Related: Haliburton Witnesses Rookie WNBA Phenomenon Regarding the Colts' game, McAfee's former team beat the Chicago Bears 21-16 on Sept. 22.
Expect to see the duo at another Colts' home game until the Pacers' 2024-25 season commences. Even then, Haliburton will join McAfee's show before or during the 2024-25 NBA season; McAfee continues his connection with Indiana by befriending the All-Star point guard and rooting for the Colts..
