Tyrese Haliburton is impressing in the NBA playoffs and setting a historic record. He was ridiculed by many fans for a long time, but now he can finally prove them wrong.
This game by Tyrese Haliburton was historic! What is often referred to as a cliché for strong games actually became reality in the Indiana Pacers’ 130-121 victory against the New York Knicks.
Haliburton made playoff history in the NBA with an incredible game. The guard scored 32 points, 15 assists, twelve rebounds, and didn’t commit a single turnover. Since turnovers were first recorded in the 1977/78 season, no other player has achieved this.
Tyrese Haliburton is impressing in the NBA playoffs
“I just wanted to be more aggressive,” Haliburton explained after the game. “I just tried to do my best after I felt like I let the team down in Game 3. I wanted to play a lot better today.”
Haliburton played even better. In the first half, he showed an all-round performance rarely seen in the NBA playoffs. With 20 points, ten assists and nine rebounds, he almost reached a triple-double in just 18 minutes of play.
NBA: Is Haliburton going from a ridiculed meme to a great hero?
Haliburton then secured the milestone without any problems in the second half and led his Pacers to a 3-1 series lead with his historic performance. His team only needs one more win to reach the NBA Finals.
It would be the highlight of an incredible revenge tour this season. Although Haliburton has long been one of the best players in the league, many observers have not really taken him seriously. There were great doubts whether he was made for the highest level.
The last two summers, in which he was part of the US national team, were partly responsible for these doubts. In the summer of 2024, he won gold at the Olympics, but more as a tourist. He only played in three of the six games and scored an average of only 2.7 points in just under nine minutes of playing time.
The summer before that was probably even more bitter for Haliburton. As one of the mainstays, he was supposed to lead the US team to gold at the World Cup. But the Americans not only failed in the semi-finals against Germany, but “Hali” himself also became a ridiculed meme.
Before Andi Obst’s decisive three-pointer, he slipped after a dribble by the Bayern star, crashed unceremoniously to the ground and had to watch, lying flat on his nose, as the German sharpshooter hit the three-pointer.
NBA stars voted Haliburton the most overrated player
The scene not only gave Obst cult status in Germany, but also ensured that Haliburton was often ridiculed in the aftermath.
In the current season, “overrated” echoed through almost every opposing NBA hall when Haliburton was on the ball. The fans wanted to let him know that he was not a superstar, but simply overrated.
These calls gained even more substance in the course of the season when his NBA player colleagues voted Haliburton the most overrated player in the league in an anonymous survey by The Athletic.
“I would like to see the faces of the players who voted for it. This is an absolute bullshit survey. Not even everyone there voted. The whole thing is bullshit,” his coach Rick Carlise then ranted.
And Haliburton himself apparently did not let this unsettle him. He then played a strong season and is also convincing in the current playoffs.
The ugly incident caused a lot of turmoil, but Haliburton remained cool, apologized to the Greek and suggested to his father that he should not come to his games for the time being.
This also anticipated a later hall ban, which the NBA imposed as punishment for entering the field and provoking Antetokounmpo.
Just in time for the fifth game of the Conference Finals, this penalty expired and Papa Haliburton was able to see his son make history in the hall. This time he was appropriately happy from the stands.
If the Junior continues to play as he is now, John Haliburton may be able to witness more often in the coming weeks how his son Tyrese continues to silence the haters – perhaps even with a championship.
