Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton have a promising future in the NBA.
They will have some epic battles down the line, especially now that they have gotten to know each other pretty well during their time together for Team USA.
That opportunity to bond also paves the way for some trash-talking, and it seems like they’re enjoying going back and forth on social media.
That was evident when the Indiana Pacers star clapped back at Brunson, who called him out on Twitter for allegedly not knowing how to use chopsticks.
Haliburton posted a hilarious clip of him using chopsticks and eating sushi, exposing his national team teammate.

Even so, it seems like Brunson will continue to hold bragging rights over him for the time being — and maybe for the remainder of their careers.
Brunson is currently the team’s starting point guard, and it doesn’t seem like there’s any need for change, as they’ve won their three games of the FIBA World Cup in a convincing manner.
Haliburton has done an outstanding job of keeping the team involved and in rhythm when the first unit gets a breather, but he’s still Brunson’s backup.
Whatever the case, Team USA continues to march strong, and they look like the clear-cut favorite to win the whole thing again, and a lot of that has had to do with their playmaking and young point guard duo.
As for their abilities with chopsticks or any other utensils, the jury is still out on this debate.
