Haliburton reaches out to LeBron after eliminating Cavs

Tyrese Haliburton led his Indiana Pacers to a 4-1 series victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. This came as a shock to many, as the Cavs were the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

After the series ended, Haliburton revealed that he reached out to LeBron James, the greatest player in Cavs’ history.

“I just feel like I may be part of a dying breed in our league,” Haliburton said. “I feel like I’m a true pass-first point guard. I feel like that’s not common these days. But I just try to play the game the right way, I want to play the right way, and I want to win, that’s the most important thing for me.

“So I’m sure it’s easy, like Bron said, people would want to play with me, like yeah, for winning, I’m sure people would love to play alongside me.”

“The LeBron thing was really cool, we texted back and forth last night. I’ve grown a lot of cool relationships from that Olympic experience, and it’s been really cool. But we’re still not done, and there’s still a lot to go.”
