With new players drafted every season, the NBA is never short of talent. It is quite fulfilling as a fan to watch young players matchup against legends on the court. The goal is to become the next greatest player in the league. The new point guard for the Indiana Pacers, Tyrese Haliburton is one of the young superstars who seems to be well on his way to achieving this goal.

Haliburton was drafted to the league by the Sacramento Kings in 2020 but then acquired by the Pacers as part of a trade package. His performance this season has proven his value and reliability to his team.

Haliburton’s first-ever NBA all-star selection as an East Conference reserve was well deserved

The Pacers’ star player had his time in the spotlight in his career’s first All-Star game. He put up eighteen points, one rebound, and three assists in his thirteen minutes of playing time.

Outside of the court, the young Pacers guard is having a great time too. He recently appeared on the Knuckleheads podcast, where he spoke about his journey from being a recruit to NBA All-Star, playing in the AAU, and his experience in the NBA so far, amongst other things.

One of the advantages of being a professional player is the money. Tyrese opens up about his first big purchase after his rookie year.
