Statement from a former NBA player about Tyrese Haliburton's trash talk vs. Knicks

It's Tyrese Haliburton's first NBA playoffs of his career, but it's been an incredibly exciting season. The young star will now face the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals after defeating the New York Knicks, but Haliburton has made some enemies along the way in New York.

The series between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers was full of trash talk, physicality and hostile fans. After the game, Haliburton wore a hoodie with Reggie Miller's face on it, reminiscent of the Pacers' Game 7 victory over the Knicks in 1994. It was a moment that Knicks fans didn't appreciate, but former NBA players certainly did.

During an episode of FanDuelTV's Run It Back show, former Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons shared his honest opinion about Haliburton's trash talk. In short, he loved it.

“I love it, given the history, I love all the shit that happened,” Parsons said. “They said afterward that the Knicks had been talking the whole series. It was physical, you could see that, there were so many different arguments, the physicality was hot. Tyrese Haliburton had to compensate for Jalen Brunson, he had to be the best player of the season. “Floor… he was.”

No one expected the Indiana Pacers to beat the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the playoffs, and no one expected the Indiana Pacers to beat the New York Knicks in the second round of the playoffs. Admittedly, Indiana had some luck on its side in the form of injuries, but now the real test awaits against the Boston Celtics.
