“Journaling is the biggest thing for me. I'm able to write things down....” — Tyrese Haliburton Quote

Journaling is the biggest thing for me. I'm able to write things down. There are so many little things. I don't even remember what I ate for dinner yesterday. So I'm writing it down so one day, I can go back and reflect on it.

My family is from Kokomo, Indiana.

It's kind of surreal to play in the NBA, and to have some success, but I've never had an experience like this playing the game of basketball where after every game I feel like I'm analyzing everything.

I think like, obviously when you're a kid, you always want to wear a U.S.A. jersey because all the greats do.

I ate Bengali food after my parents married and Dad started living with us, in both Willesden and in Delhi for three years, and then we all moved to California. Dad said he could make a really good dal, but I never saw him cook during the whole time we lived together.

I don't think I ate bat. I definitely didn't intentionally eat bat.

I hate to admit it, but my family was on the back burner for a good part of my career. I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I took my VCR home, ate dinner, went to my room and watched five games. Four days after the Pro Bowl, I'd be at the gym. But I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Football was my way out.

I grew up in an African household, so lots of chicken, lots of rice. We ate Jollof rice, a very West African dish.
