Tyrese Haliburton, the young star guard for the Indiana Pacers, had a memorable summer training with LeBron James on Team USA. Despite their age difference, with Haliburton at 24 and James approaching 40, the two bonded over basketball, with Haliburton playfully teasing James about his age.

During a media appearance, James recounted how Haliburton and fellow young players kept him on his toes, calling him 'old head' and 'grandpa.' The experience at the Olympics was significant for Haliburton, who, despite limited playtime, cherished the opportunity to learn from one of his idols.
