Team USA squad player and NBA star Tyrese Haliburton went viral for his recent social media activity regarding the 2024 Paris Olympics. Notably, Team USA created history at the Paris Olympics by winning their fifth straight gold medal. They defeated Team France at the decorated event, overcoming the home nation to win the gold.
However, it was Haliburton who caught the attention of the basketball community. It’s important to note that Haliburton did not have much playing time with Team USA. Nevertheless, he had a gold medal around his neck. This prompted Haliburton to troll himself, posting a humorous tweet with a gold medal around his neck.

This post quickly went viral on X, garnering above 10 million views in a few hours. In addition, throughout the competition, he served as the team’s 12th man. He played in throwaway time but was not part of the rotation. Also, Tyrese Haliburton was featured in only three games for Team USA, playing for 26 minutes and scoring eight points.
Someone is inevitably left out on a roster with everyone as a star. Given the volatility regarding some of Kerr’s other roster selections, Haliburton’s readiness to accept a position in which he scarcely played was quite useful to Team USA. In four years’ time, the veterans of the team might not return for the next Olympics. As such, Haliburton’s experience from the Paris Olympics will prove a valuable asset.

Tyrese Haliburton and Jayson Tatum were involved in the news as they were benched for most of the tournament. Notably, basketball fans criticized Team USA head coach Steve Kerr for the treatment of Tatum and Haliburton. In addition, Tatum seemed visibly upset, while Haliburton took this decision as a sport.
While fans were trolling and questioning the management for their team selection, Haliburton’s hilarious troll post on X shut down critics and haters questioning Tatum’s past DNPs. On the other hand, players like Haliburton and Tatum are for the future of USA basketball. Despite having limited game time at this Paris Olympics, these stars will be considered for future international events for their nation.
In addition, Haliburton performed admirably for Team USA during the 2023 FIBA World Cup, averaging 8.6 points and 5.6 assists per game. Also, Tatum joined the Team USA roster after coming off a glorious NBA title win with the Boston Celtics. Hence, these two stars will be in contention to snatch a spot for the 2028 Olympics event.
