After a strong sophomore season at Iowa State, Tyrese Haliburton has his sights set on the NBA Draft where he is projected to be a first-round selection.
Haliburton has also targeted his first big purchase as an NBA player.
The 6-foot-5 guard appeared on “The Jump” on Tuesday with Rachel Nichols and discussed a variety of topics, including what he wants to buy with his first NBA paycheck.
“As a little kid, of course, it’s like, ‘Man, I want a house with an elevator or a pool,'” Haliburton said. “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to relax a little bit so the No. 1 thing that I will buy once I get my first NBA contract is a pair of Kobe 6 “Grinch” [shoes]. I’ve wanted those since he wore them on Christmas Day. I’m definitely going to get me a pair of them.”
Of course, Kobe Bryant wore the “Grinch” shoes on Christmas Day in 2010 and they have become a popular colorway over the years. As of now, the shoe is going for over $1,000 on several shoe websites given its limited availability.
The shoe is reportedly expected to make a return in early 2021.
