John Haliburton, father of Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton, is one proud dad. That pride led him to cross a line during the Pacers' playoff run, but the family has clearly put that in the rearview mirror with the NBA Finals set to tip off on Thursday.
The elder Haliburton was barred from attending Indiana playoff games following a confrontation with the Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo during the Pacers' series-clinching win over the Bucks in early May. As it became clear that Indiana was a favorite to reach the Finals, the Pacers ended the ban, though John Haliburton now takes in games from a suite.
