Szczerbiak referred to Haliburton as a "wannabe fake All-Star" when he was an analyst for the network.

When addressing the remark, Haliburton was diplomatic. He wasn't lobbying for an All-Star nod so he was surprised to hear the critique.

Szczerbiak apologized and said the guard is definitely in the All-Star discussion.

Through 30 games, Haliburton is leading the league in points and assists. Indiana's 16-16 record is good for 8th in the Eastern Conference.

He has put together a resume to be considered for the All-Star Game.
