At the end of the regular season, the NBA had a vote to select the "most overrated player" of the season, and Halliburton was finally elected with a high vote. The title did not cause much controversy at that time. Because Halliburton has indeed opened high and closed low in the past two years, he performed well last year and is the league's assist king. However, Halliburton's performance fell this season, with scoring, rebounding and assisting data falling across the board. The team's record in the first half was not good, so in the end, even the All-Stars did not make it.

was still the assist king + All-Star last year, and the data has shrunk significantly this year, and the All-Stars can't get in, and they are still receiving a super maximum salary of US$260 million. Therefore, many fans say that Halliburton is premium, and many people questioned that the Pacers were wrong in building a team around Halliburton. But this year Halliburton proved to have slapped the doubters in the face and became the first in the playoffs.

In the first round of the playoffs, Pacers VS Bucks, the outside world is generally optimistic about the Bucks because of the superstar Antetokounmpo. But in the end, the Pacers easily defeated the Bucks 4-1. Although Lillard's reimbursement affected the Bucks, the Pacers performed well enough. In one of the games, Halliburton broke through in the last 1.3 seconds and killed the Bucks directly. In the second round of the playoffs, Pacers vs. Cavaliers, Halliburton continued his outstanding performance. The Cavaliers were the number one in the Eastern Conference with 64 wins, and in the end the Pacers also easily defeated the Cavaliers 4-1. There was also a classic game, with the Cavaliers still leading by 7 points in the last 45 seconds, but the Pacers also launched a counterattack since then. At the last moment, Halliburton grabbed the frontcourt rebound and pulled it outside the three-point line and staged a three-point buzzer-beating kill.

And in today's game against the Knicks, Halliburton continued his usual key performance. Being 9 points behind in one minute is basically a loss. But Nesmith's super-god performance gave the Pacers a chance. In the last goal, Halliburton also made two points and didn't pull out and shot three-pointers, and finally made a successful hit. If it weren't for regret to step on the line, it would be another wonderful winning goal.

Halliburton averaged 18.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game, of which the shooting percentage reached 48.1% and the three-point shooting percentage was 33.8%. Not only that, he is also the number one key gentleman this year. So far this year's playoffs, Halliburton has scored four times in the last 10 seconds, ranking first in the league. It is said that the playoffs are a stage for superstars. Halliburton proves with practical actions that he is not the most overrated player, and his 260 million contract is well deserved.
