ESPN analyst and former NBA player Kendrick Perkins posited that the bar for true NBA superstardom is selling out road arenas, and followed it up with: "I don't know if Tyrese Haliburton is selling out arenas" as the panel collectively chuckled.
Tom Thibodeau pointed to a collective breakdown on the defensive end, particularly against Indiana’s constant motion and quick-hitting offensive actions.
Players like Tim Duncan, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Dirk Nowitzki elevated smaller-market teams and became superstars despite narratives being pushed to ignore them. Brunson doesn't have that obstacle, which makes Haliburton's beatdown of the Knicks all the more impressive.
The Indiana Pacers are now one win away from the 2025 NBA Finals. The Pacers held on for a 130-121 victory against the New York Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals on Tuesday night. Tyrese Haliburton was stellar offensively all night.
Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau doesn’t believe Jalen Brunson has gotten a fair whistle through the first three games of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Not only did Towns hit some big shots, but it was Jalen Brunson who helped try and seal the deal as well. Brunson has been the best player for the Knicks this postseason, and his play has elevated them and led them to the Eastern Conference Finals.
