Tyrese Haliburton is the NBA's best new floor general

Furthermore, he is just the third player to start a postseason with over 100 points, 70 assists and 35 rebounds, joining Magic Johnson and Rajon Rondo. 

Haliburton's improved defense, represented by his seven blocks, has also allowed him to make some NBA history. 

Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard, who led his team with 23 points in Sunday's win, explained why Haliburton is a throwback point guard. 

"He makes all of us better," Nembhard said of Haliburton, via ESPN's Jamal Collier. "He's kind of old school in the way he plays pure point guard. He can really carve up a defense. Everybody likes playing with him, getting the ball in the spots you like and in rhythm."

Under Haliburton, the Pacers scored 129 points per 100 possessions the last three seasons—the highest net rating for any player in the NBA. The trend has carried into this year's playoffs, with Indiana outscoring teams by 8.1 points per 100 possessions with Hali on the floor.  

It can't be denied that Haliburton has cemented himself as the NBA's best pure point guard and floor general. Here's another statistic to seal his case: Haliburton has 193 assists and 43 turnovers in 21 career playoff games thus far, an AST/TO ratio never reached in history.
