Tyrese Haliburton Squashes WWE Feud to Celebrate Jalen Brunson & Wife Ali’s New Baby in Heartwarming NYC Moment

To begin with, the New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson has had an eventful year. Firstly, the 6 ‘1 guard spearheaded the NY side to a competitive effort in the postseason. And now he has welcomed his firstborn, Jordyn James Brunson, alongside his wife, Ali Marks, a few days ago. Following the heartwarming announcement, Brunson received love across the NBA world, including his current rival, Tyrese Haliburton.

Brunson took to his Instagram handle and dropped a picture of the baby holding his finger along with a caption that read, “7/31/24 • Jordyn James Brunson.” This wholesome post came in 20 days after the birth of the baby. In response, the NBA world swarmed the comments section, wishing the couple on their new journey as parents.

Firstly, Tyrese Haliburton stepped in to call a truce on their current rivalry. The Indiana Pacers star took to the comments and wrote, “Congrats y’all,” with a red heart emoji. While Hali wished the Knicks guard as if they were long-time buddies, almost a month ago, the duo were ready to throw punches at each other.

It all began when they faced each other in the 2024 Eastern Conference semi-final. Keeping up with the Pacers-Knicks traditions, the new-age stars kept the rivalry burning. During the series, there were many instances of the duo having heated exchanges. And it was Haliburton, who had the last laugh, beating Brunson & Co. in Game 7. Following the postseason, the duo faced each other again, this time on an entirely different setup, a WWE ring.

During the Friday night SmackDown, Haliburton walked out with Logan Paul, who made a grand entry at the Madison Square Garden for the Money in the Bank qualifying match. At that time, the Pacers guard spotted Jalen Brunson from the crowd and intimated him, who ultimately stepped into the center. And, of course, the duo had the famous WWE staredown inside the ring!
