Haliburton Could Make History

Last night Tyrese Haliburton threw down a monster 27 point, 15 assist, 7 rebound performance to push the Pacers over the Bucks and into the Tourney Finals.

It has me thinking. The Pacers representing the East in The Finals would be shocking...but not unthinkable.

What's really shocking is where it would place Hali in NBA History:

Here's the list of guards (23 years or younger) who have led their team to the Finals since 1990:

It's never happened. Hali is 23

Here's the list of non-guards (23 or younger) who have led their team to the Finals since 1990:

- Shaq ('95 Magic)

- Duncan ('99 Spurs)

- LeBron ('07 Cavs)

Here's the list of guys who NEARLY qualified:

- Tatum (24 years old, '22 Finals)

- Wade (24 years old, '06 Finals)

- Magic (20 years old, Kareem was best player in '80)

- Kobe (21 years old, Shaq was best player in '00)

The Pacers square up vs the Lakers for the In-Season tournament title tomorrow night....

This doesn't feel crazy
