US Olympic Basketball Player Has Iconic Reaction After Winning Gold By Barely Playing At All

Tyrese Haliburton sat on the bench for the vast majority of the US men's basketball team's journey to a gold medal in the Paris Olympics—and he couldn't help but poke fun at himself with a hilarious tweet.

NBA basketball player Tyrese Haliburton poked fun at his lack of participation in winning gold as part of Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The Indiana Pacers point guard and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum were both largely left out of the rotation under Team USA's head coach Steve Kerr in the semifinal game against Serbia and the gold medal victory against France.


Although Haliburton played a total of 26 minutes across three of the six games, making him the player with the fewest minutes and games, he still became the first former Iowa State player to win Olympic gold in men's basketball after Team USA defeated the hosting country's team.

However, Haliburton deserved high marks for his hilarious summation of Olympic gameplay on social media.

On Saturday, the 24-year-old All-NBA Third Team star took to X (formerly Twitter) and leaned into his victory without breaking a sweat, writing:

"When you ain’t do nun on the group project and still get an A."

Social media users thought his post was pure gold.





Users expressed confidence in the young player's future participation at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.



Regardless of his minimal time on the Olympic basketball court, he is still a World Champion.

With some veteran NBA stars likely retiring from Team USA by the time the Summer Games come around in 2028, we look forward to seeing Haliburton off the bench and crushing it on the court.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
