Tyreese Halliburton recently became a hot topic following his achievements after leading Indiana to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Pacers currently have a 3-2 advantage over the New York Knicks.
Tyreese Halliburton continues to deliver amazing performances throughout the postseason. His consistency and clutch factors brought him up to elite territory among the NBA point guards.
For example, in Game 4 against New York, Halliburton recorded 32 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds without violating one sales.
He was the second player in NBA history to score a 30-point triple double in the playoffs without losing the ball after Baron Davis in 2002.
The Milwaukee Bucks have recently praised Halliburton despite rivalry between teams. His acknowledgments go beyond the typical on-court competition among opposition to the Eastern Conference.
“I have to respect that. There’s a big difference from not liking the team or not liking people for your own personal reasons. And there’s everything to respect what it is and what he does to help him win.”
Portis compared Haliburton to Point Guard Legend Chris Paul. “In that respect, he’s a point god like Chris Paul, and he controls the game in a different way and makes it fun for his team to come out there and play,” he added.
The Portis and the Bucks were even more interesting as they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by Halliburton and the Pacers this season.
The praise has a considerable amount of weight considering Halliburton leads all players game-by-game this postseason at 9.5. His court vision and playmaking ability have contributed to Indiana’s deep playoff runs.
Portis believes Haliburton deserves greater recognition from the NBA community. “His team has a different level of belief behind him.
“Make sure this playoff run put him in another area of player recognition. A shot he made, a comeback he made,” Portis concluded. Halliburton’s fusion of skills, leadership and calmness positions him as the cornerstone of Indiana’s glory in the glory of the championship.
