Summary
* Indiana guard Tyrese Haliburton wore a leather grey trench coat.
* The coat resembled the attire of Inspector Gadget a cartoon from the 80s who had devices stashed all over his body.
* Fans thought it was funny.

Social media users can be critical. And NBA fans on X (formerly known as Twitter) can be downright mean.

Such was the case on Thursday evening when Inspector Gadget began trending.

It had nothing to do with the beloved 80s cartoon of the man made of actual gadgets.

It had to do with Tyrese Haliburton’s grey leather trench coat. The Pacer’s guard hit the wrong note with fans and they began goofing on him.
