Indiana Pacers All-Star (well, not this year) point guard Tyrese Haliburton was recently lambasted by Hall of Fame former point guard Tim Hardaway Sr. for his tendency to chatter on the hardwood during games.
Though Hardaway may not have been known as a trash talker in his '90s heyday, he certainly played some legends who specialized in it, most notably Chicago Bulls Hall of Fame shooting guard Michael Jordan, who vanquished Hardaway's Miami Heat in the 1996 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals and the 1997 East Finals, and Pacers Hall of Fame shooting guard Reggie Miller, his teammate during a swan song season in 2002-03.
Pacers center Myles Turner played his first game in two weeks after recovering from a scary neck injury. After posting a 17-point, 10-rebound double-double in a 116-110 win over the Memphis Grizzlies (he also blocked seven shots), the 6-foot-11 big man called out his doubters.
This year's representative for the Pacers at the All-Star mini-tournament in San Francisco on Sunday, Pascal Siakam, may benefit directly from a scary ailment to San Antonio Spurs All-Star center Victor Wembanyama, who was ruled out for the season with deep vein thrombosis in his shoulder.
