Halliburton reveals: Olympic friendship with Embiid and the story behind it

On August 28, Halliburton, the Pacers' star, shared his unforgettable experience during his match with the American men's basketball team to the Paris Olympics, especially the unknown friendly story between him and Embiid, revealing the true side of the stars outside the field for fans.

Haliburton said excitedly: "This Olympic team is of great significance to me. It gave me the honor of forming a deep friendship with almost all of my teammates. This feels amazing. Take Embiid for example. Everyone knows that not many people can easily get along with him, but I am very lucky to be friends with him. A few days ago, he took the initiative to video call with me. At that time, I was shocked and said directly, 'You never call others'." Halliburton's words were full of pride and joy. From his description, you can feel the preciousness of this friendship.

"It can be seen from this incident that he is really caring about me." Halliburton said with emotion, "I think this is the best part of our athletes' lives - the opportunity to get close to the stars who have been looking up to since childhood is incredible and the best experience."

When the host asked curiously why many people find Embiid difficult to get close to, Halliburton gave his own insights. He bluntly stated that Embiid had a trust problem, "He is actually a super cool person. I think he is just wary of people and is used to keeping a certain distance from others. He will not let too many people enter his world easily, but in short, he maintains this sense of distance to everyone."

However, there is a special friendship between Halliburton and Embiid. "But we used the same trainer in Los Angeles. He usually lets others leave the gym when he trains, but only lets me stay." Halliburton recalled with a smile, "So I know very well that in his heart, I am welcome." This experience not only reflects the trust and tacit understanding between Halliburton and Embiid, but also allows fans to see Embiid's unknown side.

Halliburton's sharing on the show allowed fans to see the sincere friendship between the stars outside the Olympic stadium. His story with Embiid breaks people's inherent impression of Embiid's inaccessibility and shows the pure and deep emotional bond between athletes. In this competitive basketball world, such friendship is particularly precious. I believe that Halliburton and Embiid will continue to maintain this special friendship in their future basketball careers and bring more exciting moments to fans.
