Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton didn't get to the Eastern Conference finals all by himself—he had the support of his teammates, coaches and one decorated WNBA legend.
Haliburton had a conversation with four-time WNBA champ and Hall-of-Famer Sue Bird before the NBA playoffs started, according to Taylor Rooks's newly aired interview with Bird. Rooks revealed that she spoke to the Pacers guard during Indiana's first-round series against the Milwaukee Bucks last month, and Haliburton told her that he had reached out to Bird for advice on when to be a scorer and when to be a facilitator.
