The most-awaited 2025 NBA Finals are finally here, and fans are set to witness a historic match-up: the Oklahoma City Thunder locking horns with the Indiana Pacers. While the Thunder emerged as a formidable team right from the beginning, Indiana overcame multiple obstacles to reach their first finals in 25 years. One name that shone like anything through the postseason is Pacers’ guard, Tyrese Haliburton.

Haliburton, who was named as the ‘most overrated player’ by other players, let his peers have the first laugh, while he made sure to have the last. Despite delivering strong performances throughout the season as well as the playoffs, the two-time NBA All-Star missed out the Eastern Conference Finals MVP to his teammate, Pascal Siakam. However, his sensational postseason campaign helped him finally get his due recognition as a star player in the world’s top men’s basketball league.
