Tyrese Haliburton talks about the time they cut him during college basketball

In an interview with Pure Sweat Basketball, the host asked Tyrese about the time he played with other talented hoopers, and how his experience went.

Tyrese gets candid and says, “When I was in middle school, I was leveling out. I think a big thing for kids is not to get into programs that get you gear that makes you look cool. You got to find gear with people that care about you, not only as a person but as a player, and make you the best that you can be. I was fourteen when I got cut, and that was the worst ever in my life.”
