Breaking minds with his voice: Insight into Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton's charisma
Ch-ch-ch-Changes:
Tyrese Haliburton, the hotshot Indiana Pacers player, has been turning heads this season, not just for his basketball skills, but also for his peculiar voice-shifting act during interviews. In a crazy twist after winning Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Haliburton managed to leave people scratching their heads once more.
During the post-game chat, Haliburton sounded like he swapped voices mid-sentence, leaving everyone baffled. It was nothing he said that was puzzling; it was the way he said it that was weird. Here's the lowdown:
"We've been winning in all sorts of ways, and it's like we've just been having these weird wins throughout the regular season, so why would that change?," Haliburton explained, and that's when things got a bit creepy.
"It's not changing! We just keep staying at it and keep believing, and that's the result we get. It's not like we're on some sort of ventriloquist dip, but dang, look at us go!"
At first, I thought it couldn't be anything too strange, but after giving it a gander on YouTube, I can confirm it's batshit crazy.
If you're wondering whether this basketball thing doesn't quite measure up for Haliburton - considering the odds against that - he might just have a future in ventriloquism, or séances, or the circus. Who knows, maybe he could be the puppet master behind Chucky!
Now, according to the Daily Mail, this voice-changing shenanigan was first mentioned on "The Pat McAfee Show" way back in 2024, when Haliburton admitted to the peculiar quirk and attributing it to his lack of self-awareness.
"People always say that! Haliburton explained, catching McAfee up on his odd talk habit. "I never notice it, but when I catch podcasts and see myself, I'm like, 'Hold up, my voice changed.' I didn't do it on purpose!"
It's an intriguing party trick if the former Iowa State Cyclone can figure out how to control that voice-skipping act, but considering Haliburton's evolving star in the league, we'll likely be hearing more of his voices in the years to come.
