Tyrese Haliburton can expect a letter from the NBA after perhaps the biggest shot of his life, and he is perfectly fine with that.
The Indiana Pacers guard stunned the Cleveland Cavaliers and the rest of the league on Tuesday with a four-point possession that culminated in a 3-pointer to give the Indiana Pacers the lead. The Pacers now lead 2-0 in their Eastern Conference semifinals series, which is headed to Indianapolis on Friday.

You will notice in the video above that Haliburton moves off-frame for a few moments, as the Cavaliers collect themselves for one last desperation shot. Subsequent replay showed Haliburton to be enjoying himself, Sam Cassell-style.
Few celebrations are as well-known as Cassell’s infamous big-balls dance, which itself originates from the movie “Major League II.” Of course, the celebration isn’t exactly family-friendly, and the NBA has an established history of fining players who use it.
Haliburton’s gesture definitely qualifies. When asked about the upcoming fine after the game, he indicated he had been waiting to use it for a long time and was ready for the fine.
Haliburton finished his availability by taking another shot at an NBA players poll in which he was the most common answer for the most overrated player in the league.

As he did after burying the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round, Haliburton had two words: “Overrate that.”
Odds are Haliburton won’t rank as high in the poll next year, especially if the Pacers finish off the Cavs for a giant upset for their second trip to the Eastern Conference finals in three years.

Agora, para o Campeonato Brasileiro, você vê aí, está invicto mas com um monte de empate. Aí esses empates fazem falta para título. Mas no mata-mata tem camisa, é tricampeão dessa competição, tricampeão Mundial… O São Paulo pode se igualar a qualquer um aqui na América do Sul”, decretou o comentarista.

George Pickens trade grades: Did Cowboys give up too much for enigmatic WR?
The Pittsburgh Steelers tradeed wide receiver George Pickens and a 2027 sixth-round pick to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder.Why they made the moveThe Steelers had been looking to move Pickens for a while now, deciding his off-field antics weren’t worth the high-end ability on the field. The three-year veteran has tallied 174 receptions, 2,841 yards and 12 touchdowns in his career and is a big-play threat with rare athleticism, but Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has publicly called out the receiver for being immature.AdvertisementThe Cowboys, conversely, have desperately needed to upgrade their skill positions. Pickens immediately slides in as quarterback Dak Prescott’s No. 2 receiver behind superstar CeeDee Lamb. They Cowboys have a more explosive group as a result, but there’s long-term risk if Pickens wears out his welcome in Dallas, especially going into […]
