Tyrese Haliburton dreamt of becoming an All-Star

Tyrese Haliburton will represent the Pacers as part of the Eastern Conference All-Stars as a starter for the first time in his career. Last season, he was selected as a reserve All-Star. From there, he improved his game and has been the outspoken leader for Indiana.

In a recent interview, Haliburton shared that it was his dream to become an NBA player even at a young age. Looking back at where he was when he was young, the point guard has achieved the goal of becoming an NBA player.

"Some people tried to shoot it down. But I never let that get to me. I felt like it was possible. If I could get into college basketball, we’d see what happened. Within two years I had the opportunity to go into the NBA," Haliburton said.

He outdid his dream of simply becoming an NBA player by outshining others and becoming an All-Star. Now that he's set to play in his second All-Star game, he's been able to live his dream. His parents have been supporting his dream since he was young and Tyrese shared that in a recent interview.

"My dad has always preached to me to dream big and have faith in what you wanted to do... My mom never missed a game of mine growing up, like ever. Every AAU tournament, every everything, she was always there."

Many believed in him and now Haliburton has established himself as one of the best All-Star players in the league.
