Halliburton: I was anxious to come back when I was hamstring before. I played for 65 games before I could get a super maximum salary

August 28th News Recently, Pacers guard Halliburton was interviewed on the podcast program "Impaulsive".

Talking about my previous injury experience, Halliburton said: "I had a hamstring a year or two ago, and I missed about a month. That year I had to play 65 games (note: the minimum number of games to be ranked first) to get my super maximum salary, so I hurried back, and what I thought was, 'I want to get this money. This money is mine.' So, that was the most psychologically tormenting injury before, but this time (the rupture of the Achilles tendon) was a completely different level."

The host mentioned whether it would make him feel better if he had signed a maximum salary contract. Halliburton said: "That must be a big advantage of our league. A few days ago, I got the second year of the contract payment in advance, and that day was a good day. This is a great part of our league. The situation in the NFL is different. Those players fight desperately every Sunday, as if they want to kill their opponents. But we can get a guaranteed salary, so I have nothing to complain about, I will be fine."
