Tyrese Haliburton

Tyrese Haliburton owned the moment in 2024–25. Running point for one of the NBA’s most explosive offenses, he led the Indiana Pacers to their first NBA Finals appearance in over two decades and earned All-NBA honors in the process. Haliburton averaged 18.6 points and 9.2 assists per game, shot 47% from the field and 39% from three, and dictated tempo with unmatched poise. He made history in the playoffs with a 30-point, 0-turnover masterpiece—something no one had ever done before. From deep threes to no-look lasers, Haliburton delivered a highlight reel built on control, vision, and flair. With a game-winning buzzer-beater in Game 1 of the Finals and a season full of clutch, high-IQ play, Haliburton proved he’s more than a floor general—he’s the face of a rising Eastern Conference powerhouse.
