This year just keeps getting better for Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton. During the 2023-24 NBA season, the Wisconsin native earned his first All-NBA Team nod, led the league in assists, and had the best statistical season of his career. Additionally, he led the Pacers to their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance since 2014.

Furthermore, he won a gold medal while representing Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics and made an appearance on an episode of WWE's Friday Night Smackdown this summer. And now, Haliburton has received a massive endorsement deal that firmly places him as one of the league's top stars.

In a recent release, Movado, a popular Swiss watch brand, announced Haliburton as one of the five global ambassadors for its Icon campaign. Haliburton joins rap artist Ludacris, actresses Julianne Moore and Jessica Alba, and NFL star running back Christian McCaffrey as the global ambassadors for the campaign.
