"Honestly, when it's not my birthday, I get two days to celebrate. So I would argue that it's just as good without my birthday because I get two of them, but for this birthday this year I bought myself more gifts than I usually would. I celebrate it accordingly."
"Haliburton -- who is out for the season due to a torn Achilles -- is one of four NBA players ever to be born on a leap year, alongside John Chaney (1920), Chucky Brown (1968) and Vonteego Cummings (1976)."
Tyrese Haliburton, a star player for the Indiana Pacers, was born on February 29, making him a leap year baby. He is one of only four NBA players ever born on a leap day, alongside John Chaney, Chucky Brown, and Vonteego Cummings. During non-leap years, Haliburton celebrates his birthday on both February 28 and March 1. He views this as an advantage, getting two celebration days instead of one. Haliburton received birthday wishes on February 28, 2026, and acknowledged celebrating again on March 1. Currently sidelined with a torn Achilles, he will next celebrate his actual birthday on February 29, 2028, when he turns 7.
