Haliburton looked the part of an All-Star against the Lakers, finishing with 16 points and 18 assists on the night. LeBron, who spent the summer with Haliburton at the Olympics, spoke about the young star’s potential.
“It’s all about opportunity, confidence and then your ability will take over from there. Obviously we’ve seen him young in Sacramento and then he got the opportunity to come here and play for this organization that welcomed him with open arms and he’s been able to thrive. Especially in this system that’s fast-paced and getting guys that want to move with him and run with him. It fits his game perfectly and the more and more he plays, the better and better he gets. ‘Rese is just a cool dude. It was my first time ever hanging with him during the Olympics and I loved every moment of it. Just a really cool dude, great family too.”
