Tyrese Haliburton earned the unenviable distinction of being the NBA’s most overrated player in an anonymous poll made by The Athletic roughly a week ago. The Indiana Pacers point guard responded by putting on a show in Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. Haliburton scored the game-winning drive in overtime to drag his team to a series-clinching 119-118 victory.
A few hours after the game, Haliburton went on X (formerly Twitter) to lash back at his critics:
“Overrate THAT”
Haliburton put on the superhero cape late in the fourth quarter. With the Indiana Pacers trailing 103-99 with under a minute left, he scored the game’s final four points to force an extension.
