After improbably advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second straight season, two-time All-Star Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton has gotten pretty confident about his own abilities.

Despite hailing from the area that many consider to be the cradle of basketball civilization within the United States, the Indiana Pacers are far from a star-studded group. You won't see kids all across the country wearing Indiana uniforms.

Among those offering their recognition of Haliburton’s play was none other than Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. After the Pacers' victory over the Cavaliers, James took to social media, sharing his admiration for Haliburton’s style of play and calling out his peers who voted him as the league's most overrated player.
