Matt Barnes has ripped Wally Szczerbiak for calling Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton a “fake all-star” during a Knicks show.

“That tramp as a son of a bitch Wally Szczerbiak just completely disrespected Tyrese Haliburton, who leads the league in assists, calling him a fake All-Star and fake this and fake that, and it’s like , for what?” Barnes said in a video posted to All The Smoke’s Instagram page. “Like, what’s the point? Like, what do you get out of it?

Szczerbiak’s comments came after missing a shot that would have forced overtime when the Pacers met the Knicks recently.

“Mr. Supposed, wannabe, fake All-Star with the big miss there…Last chance, down 3 for wannabe All-Star,” Szczerbiak said after the game. “He’s in his 2nd year, c he’s a very good player. He won’t make the All-Star team.

It should be noted that Haliburton is one of the brightest young stars in the league, which makes Szczerbiak’s comments even more perplexing.

“But I don’t see why former players feel like it’s their place, or does it make them feel better about disrespecting these guys,” Barnes continued. “To me, that shit is super weak. I do not like it.

Barnes also pointed out that because of how few people in the history of the world have ever played in the NBA, former players should treat current players with a modicum of respect.

“There’s been 5,000 players in the history of the NBA. That’s why it bothers me when old players feel like they have to shit on young players because in the history of the game, only 5,000 people have already played this game and everyone in the world wants to be in the NBA,” Barnes added. “So these guys can respect and understand how hard it is for these young boys to break through. a way… to me you can criticize with no disrespect and I thought what Wally Szczerbiak did was shit as shit.”

Haliburton also responded, telling Taylor Rooks he had no idea who Szczerbiak was.

“I know Wally Szczerbiak’s name, I couldn’t tell you where he played, I couldn’t tell you what he did,” Haliburton said.
