Haliburton wasn’t even the leading scorer on the team this year, it was Siakam. They want Hali to be a different player than he is.

Hali is literally hitting games winners in the finals. Clearly the sensitivity doesnβt matter

Talking heads is primarily referring to those who have 0 to minimal experience playing actual ball and no business in actually criticizing the players who are actually playing. Granted, media and spins will happen so Hali needs to tune them out, Magic is spot on.

Sad that they still canβt admit Hali is a superstar. Jason Kidd and Steve Nash were pass-first guys but the media called them superstars. Make it make sense.

This is why I donβt watch this clown. Every time he says some bs against pacers or Hali he goes off the next game . Exactly why yo knicks ainβt in the finals

I guess First Take crew don’t read all these comments. I hardly see anyone supporting First Take Crew. You guys really need to step up. My opinion though.

Dang, this just sounds like they’re trying to break Tyrese down mentality and emotionally bcuz they don’t want the Pacers to win. Stephen A punk and Magic whack for that. Hate when the media wants/tries to put a muzzle on a sports athlete. Hali is 100% correct, all these idiots didn’t even give the Pacers a chance and now they look stupid and now they’re trying to protect their “reputation” by coming after Hali for telling the truth. ESPN is trash for running this. SAS trying to use former players to back his point is weak. Lou Williams admitted he didnt know what he was talking about and said he was wrong so what can’t you SAS???

I’m so confused. Where was he ranked in a list of players that makes him overrated?? Are people saying he’s a top 10 player?? He’s expected to be the best player on a team with no top players, but a complete team. Doesn’t mean he’s as good as Jokic or ANT.
