Tyrese Haliburton's Achilles tear in the NBA Finals was one of the most disheartening injuries we've seen in the league. For it to happen just a few minutes into a Game 7 right after Haliburton had gotten off to such a fast start -- nine points in the first five minutes -- just added to the already heartbreaking situation.

Haliburton has always been complimentary towards Gilgeous-Alexander. He called him the MVP before he won the trophy. What made it more daring for him to say that was that Nikola Jokic was still in a two-man race. He almost led one of the biggest upsets ever but fell just short.

Tyrese Haliburton delivered several outstanding performances during the 2024-25 NBA season. The team secured a spot in the postseason by finishing fourth in the Eastern Conference standings with a record of 50 wins and 32 losses.
