Tyrese Haliburton Channels Reggie Miller with Iconic Tyrese Haliburton Wearing Reggie Miller Don’t Choke SweatshirtAfter Knicks Victory

Tyrese Haliburton , the Indiana Pacers‘ star point guard, punctuated a breakout season with a 26-point performance in a decisive Game 7 victory over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. The win propelled the Pacers to the Eastern Conference Finals, a feat not achieved since 2013-14.

During the game, Haliburton channeled Pacers legend Reggie Miller , engaging in playful trash talk with courtside Knicks fans after a pivotal 3-pointer. This interaction echoed Miller’s infamous confrontations with Knicks fans during the 1994 and 1995 playoffs, a rivalry immortalized in the ESPN documentary “Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. the New York Knicks.”

Following the victory, Haliburton appeared at the postgame press conference wearing a hoodie emblazoned with a photo of Miller’s iconic “choke” gesture aimed at Knicks superfan Spike Lee during the 1994 playoffs. While Haliburton playfully downplayed the significance of his attire, the bold choice was a clear homage to Miller and a statement of his own growing legend in Indiana.

His playful jab at Knicks fans and the embrace of Pacers history only add to his growing legacy and the burgeoning rivalry between the two teams.
