Indiana Pacers: Top 5 gifts this team has given us

Our All-Star

There are some gifts for which no words can properly express the excitement they illicit. Sometimes, that’s the clothing item that makes you look your most attractive, sometimes it’s a game console or tickets to the game of the year. For Pacers fans, the gift of Tyrese Haliburton has left us absolutely stunned, unable to lend spoken or written word to the fire that he’s lit in our collective hearts.

By leading the league in assists, and putting together several jaw-dropping performances against some of the league’s best, Haliburton has become, inarguably, a star in this league.

He’s delivered plenty of awesome moments for Pacers fans this year, remember the assist to Nembhard for the game-winner in LA? No moment has been greater in Haliburton’s first full season as a Pacer than the game-winning 3 that shut the mouths of Heat fans in Miami on Friday night. To that point in the game, Haliburton had 40 points and had already made 9 threes. That would’ve stopped Hali-haters in their tracks alone, but he’s not concerned with making good impressions. Tyrese Haliburton, Indiana’s pride and joy, wants to win games. He did just that, rising up from deep, like a mighty hunter stretching his taught bow knocked with a deathly sharp arrow, and hitting the target deep in the hearts of Heat fans, putting them to bed for good that game.

What a player.
