A pacers fan from New York is Pelted with Garbage – Indiana Star Tyrese Haliburton Reacts with a Special Gesture.
Strong action by top star Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers. After a fan in New York was pelted with garbage for wearing a Haliburton jersey, the Pacers guard reacted with a special gesture.
Haliburton himself saw videos of the disgusting action on social media and surprised the fan named Hans Perez with tickets to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Firefighter Perez lives in New York but has always been a Pacers fan. After the New York Knicks won the playoff series against defending champion Boston Celtics, fans celebrated on the streets.
A group of Knicks fans met Perez in a Pacers jersey. As the Pacers are the next opponents for the New York team, the group pelted Perez with garbage, even filming the action and posting it online.
Haliburton with nice gesture
The point guard became aware of the video and gave Perez two tickets for game four in Indianapolis. Perez then appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show,” where Haliburton was also a guest.
The two spoke via video call, with Haliburton saying, “Everyone in our organization wants to make sure you’re taken care of.”
The first game of the Eastern Conference Finals will take place on Wednesday night to Thursday at 2:00 a.m.
