Tyrese Haliburton is changing his story in the playoffs. He did it last year and is confirming it in 2025 with a breakthrough taking the Indiana Pacers to the NBA Finals. Interestingly, he was chosen by his peers as the most overrated player in the league. Journalist Chris Fedor wanted to explain why his colleagues have this "hatred":
"I think NBA coaches have a great respect for Tyrese Haliburton. I think they understand how he can manipulate the game. I think they grasp how he can control and dictate the pace, and how he has driven an offense that has been one of the best in the NBA over the last three years. I believe players feel jealous. I truly believe that. I think the fact that he was named, in quotes, the most overrated player and was voted in that sense was a combination of madness, jealousy, and hatred. I think he's an easy guy not to like because he talks a lot, gestures, can get under your skin with some of the things he does, and can be very difficult to deal with. He has a kind of flamboyant air, a special touch, and that makes him an easy target. So I think that's where all that comes from when we talk about the players and why they voted for him".
