Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton is sweating over a recent quote that went viral among NBA fans.
Haliburton expressed frustration Thursday night after Indiana’s 142–132 loss to the Heat at Kaseya Center, stating he’s “tired of being a loser.”
The quote was featured on a Bleacher Report graphic posted Friday, and Haliburton joked he's certain it won't be the last time he sees the graphic on social media.

The full quote was about Haliburton not being focused on putting up stats after he dropped a career-high 44 points on the Heat.
“I just want to get to the playoffs,” Haliburton said, via Alex Gordon of the Setting The Pace podcast. “All the individual success is cool, and I’ve accomplished a lot individually already. I’ve been an All-Star, which is the main goal of mine when I came into the NBA.
“But individual success is nothing at this point. I just want to win. I’m tired of being a loser. I’ve got to do a better job of finding ways to win.”
Haliburton and the Pacers will have a chance for revenge Saturday when they take on the Heat at Kaseya Center.
