Two-time All-NBA Indiana Pacers point guard was absolutely dialed-in during his team’s surprise run all the way to a Game 7 of the NBA Finals this past summer.
By the team the Pacers reached that Finals series against the heavily favored Oklahoma City Thunder, Haliburton’s social media and phone use restraint had reached the point where he avoided any news — with one exception.

Now, ESPN’s Ramona Shelbourne has revealed what that exception was.
“During the Finals, I remember asking Tyrese Haliburton, does he stay on social media at all? Does he turn his phone off? And he said, ‘Yeah, except I do kind of scroll and find out what’s going on in the WWE week-to-week.’ Like, everything else is blocked out, except for he still keeps up on wrestling. That’s how plugged-in he is.”
