Tyrese Haliburton’s meteoric rise into NBA superstardom is finally under a national spotlight. There’s no other conclusion as the Indiana Pacers talisman lights up the league’s inaugural In-Season Tournament. He has officially arrived on a rising Indy squad, and it’s high time everyone recognizes it.
As Haliburton put the Milwaukee Bucks in a spin cycle to lead the Pacers to the Final on Thursday, his parents — sitting courtside — were loving every moment. They were particularly enamored with Haliburton’s dagger three that effectively ended the game. (Note: This isn’t the first time that Haliburton’s dad has been involved with the Pacers’ endeavors, especially in a helpful way. Far from it.)
There’s almost nothing better in any sport than seeing proud parents beam with pride for their children:

Haliburton is only 23 years old. I have a feeling he’s about to serve up many moments like this for his folks for a very long time. He will probably even do it during Saturday’s IST Final.
