Indiana Pacers All-Star Tyrese Haliburton arrived for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals at the Gainbridge Field House in Indianapolis, Indiana, ready to bury the New York Knicks’ season. With the Pacers leading the series 3-2, Haliburton arrived in an all-black funeral fit, making a statement before tip off.

The 25-year-old has morphed into a superstar these playoffs with electric game-winners and epic taunts like his Reggie Miller-like choke sign with his shot to send Game 1 vs. the Knicks to overtime in an all-time comeback that they eventually finished off.

Haliburton had a subpar night in the Game 5 loss in New York with only 8 points and 6 assists. He will no doubt have to be better if the Pacers are going to avoid a Game 7 back in Madison Square Garden.

He also better back up his pregame fit that he confidently strolled in with.

While Haliburton made a statement with his fit, it’s usually his girlfriend Jade Jones’ fashion we are writing about these playoffs like her yellow dress she taunted Knicks fans in. Jones missed Game 5 due to a bachelorette party in Miami where she flexed a party dress. Will she be back with her own fire fit for Game 6?

Let’s see if Halliburton’s gamble on his fit choice pays off with the Pacers heading to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2000.
