Los Angeles Lakers: LeBron James Shouts Out Pacers Star After Eliminating the Cavaliers

After their series win against Cleveland, the four-time champion hopped on X (formerly Twitter) and was hyped up about the way Haliburton played.

“Hali fkn hooping!!!! Where the lames who said he was overrated??!! Quiet as hell. That boy NICE and even more someone everyone would love to play with!

@mindthegamepod” James posted.

James was referring to the anonymous players’ poll by The Athletic. In the poll, Haliburton earned the most votes as the “most overrated player” in the league. In the postseason, the Pacers star silenced the critics with his performance to lead Indiana to the third round.

The 6-foot-5 guard had 31 points, six rebounds and eight assists on 60 percent shooting from beyond the arc. His outing did not come unanswered, however. Cavs star Donovan Mitchell put up a fight and had 35 points, nine rebounds and four steals.

Haliburton and the Pacers will wait for their opponent as the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics continue to battle it out. However, the Knicks have the upper hand with a 3-1 lead.

Los Angeles Lakers star reacts to Jayson Tatum’s injury

In Game 4 of the Celtics’ second-round playoff series against the Knicks, a devastating injury occurred. Late in the fourth quarter, Jayson Tatum went down on the floor after a non-contact injury. He was escorted by the team, including Boston’s general manager, Brad Stevens. On his way to the locker room, he was put in a wheelchair.

As soon as it happened, the Los Angeles Lakers star reacted to the unfortunate injury on social media.

“

Big Deuce,” James posted.

Despite playing for rival teams, James still showed support for Tatum. Later on, it was confirmed by the organization that the six-time All-Star suffered a torn right Achilles tendon.
