Tyrese Hallebertton leads the Pacers to their second straight Eastern Conference final. 31 points, eight assists, six rebounds, 10 of 15 uh from the floor, six of 10 from the three-point. I think in the second quarter, that’s what did it. They were down by a minute at 19. And then Hley hits like five, four or five threes, flipped the momentum, he drove the basketball, he was sensational. He won this game for him. And everybody, I don’t want to take anything away from anybody cuz I I thought uh N Smith played well. Uh uh uh um Nimhard played well. Seakum um again ooakum 21 points. N Smith 13 points, 13 rebounds. Miles Turner 10 points, seven rebounds. Nimhard 18 points. Hadley was sensational plus 27 the highest plus minus. Uh they shot 50% from the floor. They shot 43% from the three-point line and they win this game. They go on the road three games. All three games in the number one seed building, they won the ball game. Yeah. And they won it in clutch situations, playing great. Hi was putting the ball on the floor, getting to the basket, or he was shooting that rainbow three that was splashing nothing but net. Um Evan Mobley played great again tonight. He was eight or 12, 24 points, 11 rebounds. You got 11 points. Darius Garland, he’s still nicked up. Four of 16 or six from the three. He had 11 points. 11 points, excuse me. Donovan Mitchell played 38 minutes, eight of 25 from the floor, four of 13 from three, 15 of 21 from the free throw line, 35 points. I thought what really hurt them is that uh Donovan got fouled on a three-point shot and he missed all three of them. Oo, he missed all three of them. Max Struce got great cardio in. He didn’t give you no points tonight. 0 of nine, 0 of six, no free throws. Uh at some point at at some point in time now we got to start holding Donald Mitchell accountable. Now we say he’s a superstar and he has yet to get past the second round. Now he was they won 64 games this year. Mhm. Had a very similar situation in Utah. At what point in time do we say all right Donovan? Yeah. all these all these acrobatics and 70 points and 57 points in a playoff game and 50 points in a playoff game at some point in time. We need to see that progress and you move on to the next round. Go ahead. Right. I mean, hell, Cleveland just shot 38% man from the field at night. They were 25% from three. Hell, they had 23 fouls, 11 turnovers. I mean, it took it took it took goddamn Donovan Mitchell [ __ ] He had 35 points. We were eight for 25. It took 25 shots to get it. Took a lot of shots to to even get it. And obviously the inconsistencies with scoring and poor shooting from the perimeter. It killed any momentum for them or a chance at a comeback regardless. The goddamn paces, but the goddamn pace of everybody in double figures. That’s how they do. They do it by committee. Everybody in everybody in double figures and everybody contributing. So I mean, you know, no no no disrespect to to brother to to brothers Donovan Mitchell, but he can he can only do so he can only do so much. And obviously Darius Darius Garland is hurt. You know, it’s it’s evident. You you can tell. But man, without without a full roster, there’s really no way they going to play. I call them I call them the 4×1 team cuz that’s what they do. They run up and down the court like damn 4×1, huh? They’re looking to push the ball make or miss. They take it out the net or they’ll take it out of bounds, but they’re looking to push the tempo. Um, and they were doing a great job because they want to keep the ball out of Hallebertton’s hand because he’s the point guard. I mean, he’s the guy that’s looking to push the tempo, but they did a great job. But he got it going in the second quarter and uh I think he had like 15 15 maybe 15 17 points in the second quarter alone. I think it was 15. I think he had 15 in the second quarter and I think they were all made threes and yeah, he was he was sensational. He got it going and then once he got it going, they settled in. Like and I think the thing was is that once Cleveland couldn’t blow them out, they couldn’t get any more separation. Oo, he’s like, man, we were up by 8:19. We had the crowd into the building and here they are. They’re still standing. We just hit them with our best. We hit him with a flurry. That lasted about 10 minutes and they’re still standing. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. LeBron James tweeted, “Hey effing hooping. Where’s the lames who said he was overrated? Quiet as hell. That boy nice even more someone everyone would love to play with. Mind the game pod. Tyresese Hallebertton was voted most overrated player most overrated by the players and now he’s on his way to his second straight conference finals. I think if I’m not mistaken they are the first four or lower seed to make back-to-back conference finals ever. Right. what it is. What do you think it is the reason why he’s received so much hate? I don’t even think honestly when it comes to this, if you ask all the players in NBA, I guarantee you none of them voted. I guarantee you none of them actually voted for this. And it’s something that’s that that that’s it’s a player poll. Ho, that’s like saying for Let me ask you a question. So the NFL when they say the top rated Hunter players, you think they vote? Hold on. I’m just asking about players players. So if they don’t vote for this, they’re not voting in the NFL. Correct. Or when the baseball have a poll, who’s the best player? They voted. I I don’t remember ever voting. Did you didn’t have that poll? Did they have that? Did they have that when you voted? When you played? I don’t Did they have How about How far did the top 100 go back? I think it goes back probably like 2012, 2013. Oh, for real? Yeah. I just I I I just cuz if if you ask if you ask NBA players about this voting stuff, you ask me if they of course they’re not going to don’t attach their name to it cuz they smiling in the man face. Oh yeah. You think I’m going to say, “Yeah, I voted the most overrated.” I I just doubt it, man. I just think it’s some I think it’s something that that Let me ask you a question. Well, how did they come up with his name of all the players? There are 450 players in the NBA. 30 teams 15 players per team. How? Well, they only they only listen. You notice they picked the top dogs, right? They picked the top dogs. So, he’s a top dog. I think it’s just his game is not pretty. It’s not aesthetically pleasing. Okay. Well, say that. That’s why they said he’s overrated. But let’s not be disingenuous to say that the players didn’t vote. They voted. I don’t think they did. I’m just being honest with you. He can’t be as good as he’s been all season long and all of a sudden some players in the NBA that respect each other unless it’s a personal issue are going to say, “Oh, he’s overrated.” Absolutely. It’s the [ __ ] Oh, my bad. It’s the NBA. It’s the NBA for one. And you respect the player that’s as good as he is and has done what he’s done. The problem that you run into, oo, a lot of players are comparing him to who? Point guard Steph Curry. Who’s another point guard? Shay Gillis. Who’s another point guard? Luca Donic. Right. So when you Okay, I like I like what you just said that comparison like I always say is the thief of joy, right? Okay. You comparison him to Steph and SJ and all these other point guards where you wouldn’t you wouldn’t say he’s overrated. You just say he’s not as good as them. Everybody just named aesthetically pleasing. Look at Shay’s game. SJ’s game. Smooth as goddamn butter. Look at got all the little kids, little infants. Can’t even walk yet. They shooting threes. Yeah. So it’s different. Hallebert, you know, his shot look like Shawn Marion. You know, it’s not pretty. It look like Horus Grant when he shoot. I mean, it’s just what it is. But he gets the job done in not a beautiful way. It’s like it’s like you see a woman, right? You see a nice woman shape, you know, she’s cute and all of a suen you turn around, it’s like, ah, it’s not what you thought it was, but it it it gets the job done. You know what I mean? That’s all. Yeah. Yeah. But I but I think but but I I think the thing is for me I do believe look oo there’s a reason why when you vote you go into a booth so nobody else knows what you’re doing. Yeah. I don’t like that. We need to get rid of that [ __ ] Oh my bad. Look at that. They got I mean Tyrese Hallebertton got Rudy Goar, Trey Young, Jimmy Butler, Bradley Bill, Draymond, Juel Randall, Embiid, Giannis, Dylan Brooks, Paul George, Tyler Herro, all these guys were on there that’s that’s man. No one reached the NBA is overrated. Crew because what what are you basically because I mean if you’re at the league obviously there’s level to everything. Everybody that works at a Fortune 500 company isn’t the CEO, there’s not the CFO. They’re not the COO. So, right, obviously there’s levels to it. And I think that’s the thing is is that you’re thinking, like I said, but every one of the players that’s on this list has the ability to make players that didn’t make this list look foolish. In the NFL, the worst player on his best day can make the best player on his worst day look bad. Absolutely. That’s the NFL. That’s the NF that’s that’s that’s uh NBA. That’s MLB. Mhm. The best pitcher can go out there and pitch six, seven, uh, eight shut out innings, but then the best pitcher, excuse me, the worst pitcher can pitch seven, eight shut out innings. The best pitcher can go out there and pitch a third of an inning and gave up eight, gave up eight, hit, five runs and he’s gotten pulled. So, when you look at it, they’re all professionals. And any profession professional can make another professional in said profession look foolish. And you know what? I think especially when it comes to the 1% NBA, NHL, uh, NFL, I think the thing that separates all of the players is consistency. Yeah, for sure. I think whoever can do it at a consistent level for a very long period of time. Some some people are inconsistent with it. They can do it on one night, but can’t do it on the other. They’re they’re consistently just really really good and really never fall up underneath that that medium of god damn what the hell was that? It’s just always good and then sometimes it’s great. But you do realize like to be great is boring because you’re doing the same thing over and over. I mean, what do you what do you think? You think Steph Curry going to the gym and kicking the ball in the hoop? No, he’s shooting threes over and over and over and over again and he’s warming up the same way over and over and over again. And LeBron James is doing the same thing over and over and over again. And Tiger did the same thing. I And people like that’s boring. Greatness is very monotonous. Yeah. Yeah. Because you going and doing it over and over. It’s the repetition. And so you don’t do it so you can get it right. you do it until you can’t get it wrong. And that’s what great that’s what great Tom Brady did the same thing for 20 plus years. And he probably say, I mean, he enjoyed doing it, but it was boring because he’s watching film. He’s going out there, he’s getting his band, he’s getting his body loose, and he’s throwing outs, and he’s throwing sticks, and he’s throwing go balls, and he’s throwing overs, and he’s throwing flat routes, and he’s throwing post routes. He’s doing that every single day. And the funny thing about it too is you you talk about people that are great and great at what they do and but it’s not it’s not even just sports, huh? It’s not just sports. It is it’s it’s things that people can apply to their everyday life. But the hard part about it is nobody wants to continue to do the same thing over and over, let alone have the discipline to do it consistently until they become great at something, whatever it may be. And that’s the be everybody look shortcuts. How can I get to my end goal faster? How can I get to my end goal faster? Never really wanting to put the work in, but wanting the end result right now because we can get a microwave. Instant gratific. Because what I can do? I can just stick it in the microwave for a minute and it’s done. I ain’t got to put it on the stove. I ain’t got to watch it. I ain’t got to simmer. I ain’t got to go back and check it. I just put Hey. Hey. But listen, it it it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter because anything is it has instant gratification. It’s not sustainable at all. It’s like a one- hit wonder. It’s like it’s like a one hit wonder. I mean, I I wish I I I you know what I I wish we could like have a like a Beyonce, somebody that’s been great for an extended period of time and tell Beyonce what I mean, what did you do? Cuz all you hear is about how hard she worked. She knows what she wants. She goes in the studio and she says, “Okay, I got it.” And she does this over and over, over and over, over and over, over and over. All the grace did it. It’s And people like, “Man, how you eat the same thing?” Because I want the same result. I don’t expect I don’t expect I don’t expect anything different. You think LeBron James expect anything different than than the greatness that he’s displayed for 22 years? You think Tom Brady expected something different from the greatness that he displayed throughout his NFL career once he got once he got in there? Of course not. That’s why he did what he did. And he try you try to find ways to improve upon that. Tom didn’t always do the TB12 method. He found somebody like, “Okay, I’ll try it.” He had success. He never left him. LeBron got Mike Msas. Jordan got Tim Grover. Kobe had Grover. Boom. And so it is it is a is a a greatness requires a not a commitment but a singular focus. A singular focus. Jordan didn’t have no race car team. He didn’t have all this stuff while he played. Kobe didn’t have all these Kobe was not trying to win no Oscar while he played. Right? He had a singular focus. The greats have a singular focus. now they’ve branched off now and where you see guys trying to build their brand and that’s fine but you have to like I I think you get to a certain point you’re like well and I don’t really know how much of their doing is that cuz like like let’s take LeBron for example he’s made Savannah’s like I’ve always wanted to be a housewife I want to support my husband I want him to be the best at what he can does do does I got this at home don’t you worry about Bronny don’t you worry about Bryce Don’t you worry about Zuri. I got this. You handle that. Okay. Now, he has other endeavors. Maverick, you handle that. Rich Paul, you handle this. Randy, you run the day to day. You make sure I get from point A to point B, wherever we need to be. Boom, boom, boom, boom. He focuses on what he focuses on. You see, everything is for LeBron. All LeBron do is come down and eat. Hey. Mhm. Savannah might hand him his jacket or something. He out the door into the He got a driver. He ain’t driving. I told him one time. Hey, I saw him driving. I hit him up. I said, “Bro, hell, I ain’t even know you have driver license. I ain’t never seen you drive before.” He sent me the emoji back laughing. I like, “Damn, bro. You You can drive. You got driver’s license?” He like, “Yeah, yeah, I can drive.” But but greatness, it requires all-encompassing. And that’s why most people think people that are great They’re at their you know what they got total vision. But if you notice, you ever seen penguins and pigeons hanging? Birds of a feather flock together. You don’t see penguins and pigeons hanging. Penguins hang with penguins. Pigeons hang with pigeons. Eagles hang with eagles. Hawks hang with hawks. That’s why you see people of a certain status. Because you know why uh uh uh uh Brian Billy once told me he said he said uh Shay you know why movie stars marry other movie stars? Well like I don’t know maybe on the set. He said because the other know what it’s like to live in that world. They know what it’s like to jump in and out of character where they have to go lock in for 6 months and be something and then all of a sudden so now when I’m irritable and I’m moody, guess what? My partner did the same thing just last year. So, I know what he’s going through. She knows what I’m going through. I can relate to relatability. Makes sense. It makes sense. But Harley Burton Harley put on a show tonight. He was sensational. And uh they won this game. Clutch situation. They’ve been great all game long. I mean, you look at two games uh uh Cleveland probably kicking themselves in the butt. had it had it won and they came back and lost and uh Indiana came back and took both games. Could we get a rematch of the semi-finals of last year in the Eastern Conference, Knicks, Pacers, Pacers go into MSG, win a game seven? It’s going to be very interesting. I think uh uh Brunson got Nick last year, but he’s full go now. This is gonna be a great I look I don’t want to put the car before the horse, but I do believe at some point in time the New York Knicks are gonna advance to the Eastern Conference Finals where they’ll face the uh Indiana Pacers. That’s what I do believe and I think it’s going to be a great it’s going to be a great series.

Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson react to Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers eliminating Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers from the NBA Playoffs. The guys call out the anonymous players who labeled Haliburton as “overrated” in a recent poll—because after this performance, they just don’t see it. Later, the conversation shifts to Donovan Mitchell’s struggles in big moments, with Shannon and Ocho questioning why the Cavs star hasn’t delivered when it matters most.
