The 25-year-old criticised the media voices on Wednesday who in-turn criticised his game two performance.<\/p><p>Tyrese Haliburton dismissed them as &ldquo;talking heads.&rdquo; The Pacers star posted 22 points effectively sealing a 116-107 victory for his side. The backlash stemmed from his Game 2 effort, where he posted 17 points while shooting 7-of-13 overall and 3-of-8 from beyond the arc.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\"These are the type of games why he gets the 'overrated' tag.\"<br><br>Tyrese Haliburton doesn&rsquo;t have to be Kyrie, Dame, or Harden, says <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChandlerParsons?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@ChandlerParsons<\/a> &#128483;&#65039;<br><br>&hellip;but if he&rsquo;s going to play like CP3, 17 points &amp; 6 assists isn&rsquo;t enough for the Pacers to beat OKC &#128556; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HXfbDeIRWc\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/HXfbDeIRWc<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Run It Back (@RunItBackFDTV) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RunItBackFDTV\/status\/1932084554346496054?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>June 9, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>The criticism he received was for the lack of urgency and aggressiveness.

Athletes often act as gatekeepers, deciding who should be allowed to critique their game and whose voice should be dismissed.<\/p><p>The issue doesn&rsquo;t start with Tyrese Haliburton and doesn&rsquo;t end with him. It&rsquo;s not just a basketball issue but a widespread pattern across the sports world. Players are trained to shut down the &lsquo;outside noise&rsquo;. But we have to ask &mdash; how much of this is actually fair? After all, fans are the one who make superstars, who make the game.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nick Wright Rejects Haliburton&rsquo;s Gatekeeping<\/h2><p>Fox Sports 1&rsquo;s Nick Wright pushed back on Haliburton&rsquo;s gatekeeping stance toward basketball commentary. He hit back at the Indiana Pacers guard and also compared takes with retired basketball players who have fairly gotten it wrong for ages.<\/p><p>He said, &ldquo;<em>I do have this question. Who can talk about basketball? Because the answer can&rsquo;t be the retired players. Have you heard these podcasts? You might think some of our takes are out of line, I don&rsquo;t know if you guys have sampled some of the retired players&rsquo; podcasts and what&rsquo;s happening in those streets.<\/em>&ldquo;<\/p><p>Wright added, &ldquo;<em>Bad basketball takes know no country. They can come from any source. And good basketball takes know no country, either. The gate-keeping of who is and isn&rsquo;t allowed to talk about hoop when, the biggest experts talking about hoop seem to have some of the wildest opinions out there, I think is unfair.<\/em>&rdquo;<\/p><p>Nick Wright defended fans and others who have every right to share their opinions on the game. The game is open to everyone, unlike what many players suggest when they ask to shut down &lsquo;outside noise.&rsquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haliburton\u2019s \u201ctalking heads\u201d remark triggers sharp rebuttal on sports commentary fairness<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":63848,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[865,5480,7461,4757,513],"class_list":["post-63844","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-indiana-pacers","tag-nba-finals","tag-nba-finals-2025","tag-okc-thunder","tag-tyrese-haliburton"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
