NBA players have one of the most demanding schedules in all of sports, one that involves traveling around the U.S. throughout the year. Every season, teams travel to 15 different cities from coast to coast across an 82-game season. It can become quite the marathon, and one must wonder which cities ultimately stand out to the players at the end of the day. Have no fear, Tyrese Haliburton is here to give us the inside scoop on the best cities to play in.<\/p>\n
The conversation started when Haliburton made an appearance on Old Man and the Three along with Spike Lee<\/a>. The famed director and New York Knicks superfan asked the Indiana Pacers guard about how he analyzes an NBA schedule when he\u2019s first handed it in the offseason. Haliburton said that he looks at it quite a bit because he likes to plan out his road trips.<\/p>\n He also admitted that if he comes across a game at the end of a long road trip, he deems it a \u201cscheduled loss.\u201d The term got quite a kick out of Lee, but he quickly shifted the conversation.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, since you brought it up, you look at the schedule\u2026 What cities are you circling?\u201d Spike asked<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cLA,\u201d Haliburton responded, to which, Lee suggested that they should put LA twice because they have to play both the Lakers<\/a> and the Clippers<\/a> on that particular trip. Haliburton, who\u2019s currently nursing a torn Achilles and will miss most of 25\/26<\/a>, agreed.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cNew York\u2026 Miami\u2026 Milwaukee,\u201d Hali added.\u00a0<\/p>\n The response seemed to puzzle Lee as he tilted his head to the side. After all, Milwaukee is a small market, and it\u2019s very cold. But Hali cleared up that he\u2019s from Wisconsin, so the visit always hits close to home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
