Tyrese Haliburton Teases LeBron James About Watching TV Without Headphones

Tyrese Haliburton, the 25-year-old player, recently poked fun at his Olympic teammate LeBron James' "old" man behavior. Haliburton shared a hilarious story about James watching TV without headphones in the Team USA training room last summer.

In an interview with comedian Kevin Hart on Cold as Balls, Haliburton recalled the incident, saying, "He'll have his iPad on his chest watching The Sopranos, no headphones, full volume, and nobody's saying anything to him."

Haliburton jokingly questioned James about not using headphones, considering he's the face of Beats by Dre and has invested heavily in the brand. "So I tap him, like, 'You're literally the Beats guy, why don't you got no headphones on?"

James, who owns a stake in Beats by Dre, reportedly made $700 million off the investment in 2020. Haliburton also revealed that James had watched The Sopranos four times, which led to a humorous exchange between the two.

Meanwhile, James has been enjoying his offseason, having been eliminated from the NBA postseason. He recently spoke out about the benefits of therapy and is contemplating his return to the league for a record-breaking 23rd season.
