Jason Whitlock loves being controversial.
The conservative and controversial sports media personality bizarrely criticized Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton for revealing that his little brother was called the N word by a Milwaukee Bucks fan during Game 1 of the Bucks playoff victory over the Pacers in Milwaukee.
“Tyrese Haliburton is claiming somebody from the audience called his little brother the N word as they watched him play for the Pacers. Tyrese felt like he had to share this with the press… that blows my mind.”

“This was so life-changing and impactful that Tyrese Haliburton felt like he had to share it with the media,’ Whitlock said sarcastically on his ‘Fearless’ podcast.”
“I’ve shared stories of a handful of times, [being] called the N-word,’ he continued. ‘We knuckled up and either fought, or we just shook it off and kept moving. Informing the press… that blows my mind. That somehow this is a national story.”
Following their Game 2 victory over the Bucks, Haliburton had some harsh words about the Milwaukee crowd which may have stemmed from the Game 1 incident involving his little brother.
“We’ve had regular season crowds better than what we’ve played in the last two games.”
The Milwaukee Bucks did say, through a spokesperson, that the accused person did deny the accusations that he called Haliburton’s brother a racial slur.
