Haliburton&#8217;s dad went up to Antetokounmpo, waving a flag of his son, which caused an altercation.<\/p>\n<p>After the altercation, Griffin III believes Haliburton&#8217;s dad should be banned for the rest of the NBA playoffs.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"march-madness-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/march-madness-logo.png\" height=\"42\" width=\"99\" alt=\"march madness logo\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Tyrese Haliburton\u2019s Dad should be banned for the rest of the playoffs.

It was definitely a bad look, but Griffin thinks the NBA&#8217;s only choice is to ban Haliburton&#8217;s dad to show teams that this isn&#8217;t allowed.<\/p>\n<h2>Robert Griffin III believes Shedeur Sanders&#8217; falling in Draft was personal<\/h2>\n<p>The 2025 NFL Draft has come and gone, and Robert Griffin III thinks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-football\/shedeur-sanders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Shedeur Sanders<\/a> fell in the draft for personal reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Griffin believes Sanders should never have dropped out of the first three rounds, but he believes NFL teams were trying to teach him and Deion Sanders a lesson.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Griffin points to other brash quarterbacks the NFL didn&#8217;t try to teach a lesson.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cShedeur Sanders should not have dropped out of the first three rounds of the NFL draft. He dropped out of the first three rounds of the NFL draft because it\u2019s 100% personal. NFL GMs, scouts, and the NFL at large are trying to teach Deion Sanders and Shedeur Sanders a lesson,&#8221; Griffin said on Outta Pocker, via Awful Announcing A lesson that they didn\u2019t teach the Mannings when Eli said he wasn\u2019t going to play in San Diego. A lesson that they did not teach Andrew Luck and his family when he was the perennial No. 1 draft pick from the time he was a freshman in college. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;A lesson that they did not teach Baker Mayfield when he came out of Oklahoma, and a message that they did not teach Joe Burrow when he came out of LSU,&#8221; Griffin III added. &#8220;So what do I mean by all of that? What I mean is that all of these guys had the confidence, many of them had the bravado that is similar to what Shedeur Sanders has. But none of them were punished in the way he\u2019s been punished.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/robert-griffin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Griffin<\/a> does make a fair point, but Sanders has a chance to prove he can be a starting quarterback after being drafted in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns.<\/p>\n<p>As for Griffin, he was drafted second overall in 2012. He won the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award in his first season, but injuries derailed his career.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/957157-1716736522-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Cole Shelton&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nCole is an NHL, NFL and College Sports reporter at Sportskeeda with over 7 years of experience writing for publications like CBC, USA Today, SMG, BJPENN, Sherdog and SB Nation.<\/p>\n<p>An NHL fan his whole life, Cole played rep hockey in Canada from age 5 until 17 and grew up rooting for Martin St. Louis and the Tampa Bay Lightning.
