Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton received a warning from the NBA but was not fined for the dancing celebration he did after hitting the game-winning 3-pointer in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.
Haliburton predicted a fine for the dance, which was made infamous by Sam Cassell but has been deemed “an obscene gesture” by the league. The Pacers had just rallied from 20 points down to take a 2-0 lead in the series, so Haliburton was excited and said he did not care if he had to pay for it.
“I’ve been waiting for that,” Haliburton said when asked about the celebration. “It was just right in the moment. Yeah, man, I’ve been waiting for that. I’ll take that fine, gladly.”
Haliburton dodged the fine, but other high-profile NBA players have not had such luck. Lakers star LeBron James received a $15,000 fine for doing the dance in a 2021 after a win over the Pacers.
It was even more costly for other players. Eddie House had gotten away with the move before, but the Miami Heat guard was fined $25,000 after celebrating a game-winner against the Oklahoma City Thunder during his last NBA season in 2011. Julius Randle and Fred VanVleet have also been fined in past years.
Cassell, now an assistant coach for the Boston Celtics, popularized the dance in the 2000s, but he explained in a Draymond Green podcast that he actually got it from the 1994 movie Major League II.
Meanwhile, Haliburton and the Pacers will now return home to Indiana to host Game 3 on Friday and Game 4 on Sunday.

Chválil jsem hráče, že nás stav 0:2 nepoložil do kolen, řekl Rulík. Klapka nefiguruje mezi 12 útočníky
Herning (Od našeho zpravodaje) - Když dorazil Rulík mezi novináře, tak zahájil rozhovor sám zmínkou o úspěšných přesilovkách. Tým využil dvě a dal zapomenout na trápení v Brně. „Máme jinou sestavu. Věděli jsme, že když nás doplní hráči typu Červenka, Sedlák, Pastrňák, že to bude jiné. A je,“ uvedl Rulík.Ukázali v nich zmínění borci svůj um?Jsou to neskutečně šikovní hráči, ale to měl i soupeř. Na tomto ohromném prostoru je to strašně těžké ubránit. A jsem moc rád, že jsme to zvládli. Je to téma do dalších utkání. Protože přesilovky mají obrovskou šanci být úspěšné, protože je všude daleko. My jsme byli poprvé na hřišti den před utkáním. To není alibi. Ale opravdu to není vůbec snadné. Popasovali jsme se s tím velmi slušně.Jak cenná je to výhra?Nesmírně, protože Švýcaři mají opravdu silný tým. Platí, co jsem říkal před mistrovstvím, že je to jeden z favoritů turnaje. Ještě tým […]

Why David Carle decided now isn’t the time to leave DU for the NHL — ‘if ever’
David Carle has been among the top NHL coaching candidates the past few years.It’s for good reason. The 35-year-old built the University of Denver into college hockey’s model program and won back-to-back World Juniors gold medals for Team USA. But while Carle had conversations with the Chicago Blackhawks and Anaheim Ducks about their head coaching openings this summer, he reaffirmed his commitment to the Pioneers by signing a multi-year extension this week.Advertisement“There was some strong consideration to explore it,” Carle told The Athletic on Thursday. “But at the end of the day, I think everything I’ve said held true. The situation didn’t perfectly align and meet the things we were looking for to leave a wonderful place to raise our family and continue to work. We feel very blessed and grateful to stay here. We love Denver. It’s our home, […]

CBF conta com ‘sim’ de Ancelotti após Real Madrid e Barcelona e aguarda lista de novo técnico à Fifa até dia 18
A CBF aguarda as despedidas formais entre Ancelotti e Real Madrid depois do jogo de domingo, dia 11, contra o Barcelona para avançar na contratação do técnico para a seleção brasileira. O presidente Ednaldo Rodrigues conduz as negociações e estabeleceu a próxima semana como prazo final para a resposta, já que o Brasil precisa enviar a lista larga de convocados à Fifa até dia 18. A percepção na CBF é que Ancelotti já deu o "sim", embora publicamente tenha indicado recuo. Mas se não cumprir novamente a palavra, como em 2023, a CBF não quer ficar nas mãos do italiano. Por isso, tem os nomes de Jorge Jesus e Abel Ferreira como opções. E já obteve sinal verde dos dois portugueses em caso de convite. Logo, um acerto poderia acontecer rapidamente. No caso de Jesus, que era o plano B […]
