[The Mismatch] Vernon: “There’s a whole niche market for collectors (of vintage wrestling shirts). Haliburton is in these Instagram Live auctions—there might be 30-50 people, Haliburton is routinely in there, anything he wants he gets. He’s on these IG live wrestling auctions with my buddy!”

Even the assists leader has to assist himself sometimes
How vintage exactly? Like DDP/Sting/Austin vintage or like Blassie/Bockwinkel/Race vintage?
Dude is a huge wrestling mark, he seems really chill too

I love how he asks the question like he’s a reporter, Tyrese Halliburton, Indiana Pacers
When you’re gettin money you end up spending money on a lotta obscure shit
YEET
I loved pro wrestling when I was a kid. I think it kinda strange how in love with professional wrestling professional basketball is. I know they’re both on tnt, but it’s kind of weird that they’d associate themselves with something staged.
Hmm
Tyreese collects wrestling shirts and Myles collects Lego’s. I love this team man
>Haliburton is routinely in there, anything he wants he gets.
Dick Cheney proposing the Iraq War to Bush.
I mean there’s worse things to spend money on assuming these shirts retain value
Is KD on there boosting prices with his alts?
Hali is outbidding everyone on wrestling memorabilia and Turner spends a fortune on legos, these dudes are really living my childhood dream
Haliburton was late to the first preseason game this year because [WWE Fastlane](https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nba/pacers/2023/10/07/pacers-tyrese-haliburton-attending-wwe-fastlane-event/71101990007/) was at the Fieldhouse in Indy, and he was therefore unable to travel with the team. Excused absence.
EDIT: got the details straight
Goddamn it, I thought I was on SquaredCircle again until I saw the flairs.
He was at a WWE PLE earlier this year. I remember them showing him courtside. Then he got to ask a question during the post show press conference. He looked so giddy lol. The dude definitely loves wrestling.
If I was fortunate enough to be a pro athlete I’d take full advantage of doing cool shit like that. He definitely didn’t have to pay for those seats, he just told someone he was a wrestling fan and when they were in Indy he got a front row seat.
IG has live auctions?
I was watching a Pacer’s game. You know how they have them gimmicky giveaways during the timeouts.
Where the contestant has to “compete” vs a player on the video screen. The contestants almost always win, because it’s a giveaway.
They bought a white dude in to name as many wrestlers in 30 seconds. Right off the bat, you know the dude means business. ~~He puts up like 40 names.~~ I was thinking, “Hali isn’t even going to get half has many in 30 secs.”
To my surprise, Hali starts machine gunning out names like I was watching a video at 1.25x speed. Absolutely obliterates the guy. The face of the guy, starring up at the jumbtron in complete shock 😯
He’s just a regular guy outbidding regular guys who don’t make stacks of bands per quarter lol
the wrong clip for anyone else?
Saw Haliburton at a WWE ppv a couple months ago I was surprised, had no idea he was a fan lol
He worked us into a shoot brother
Adding more fuel to my position that we should ban rich people from ebay and thrift stores
