The Athletic's anonymous player poll created plenty of headlines after Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton was voted the NBA's most overrated player.
While Pacers coach Rick Carlisle was livid with the results of the poll, Haliburton himself took the players' opinion in stride, then went out and helped his Pacers to a first-round series win over the Milwaukee Bucks. On Tuesday night, Haliburton continued to make the poll age like spoiled milk, as he scored 17 points and drained five three-pointers in the second quarter of Game 5 of the conference semifinals, in which his Pacers lead the Cleveland Cavaliers 3-1.
