On May 29, the NBA playoffs continued. Halliburton's performance in this year's playoffs was impressive. He currently leads the Pacers to a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals, but he still has many questions. Famous vocals A-Smith and Parsons bluntly said that he is not a super giant.
In this year's playoffs, Halliburton averaged 19.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 9.8 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.6 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 46.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 33.6%. In this year's playoffs, Halliburton led the Pacers to eliminate Antetokounmpo's Bucks 4-1 in the first round, and then eliminated the Cavaliers, the number one in the East, with the same score. Now he leads the Knicks with a total score of 3-1, only one victory away from leading the team back to the finals.
However, Halliburton still faces a lot of doubts. Parsons, a former NBA player and famous commentator, said: "When you mention stars, there should be several levels, stars, superstars and top superstars. Curry is a superstar, and Halliburton has not yet reached this level. Considering the reputation, external recognition, and the impact on the game, these make up superstars. Of course, I respect everything Halliburton did in this small city. His performance is perfect, one of the best playoff performances. But when it comes to mentioning the superstars, When it comes to superstars, Harden, Durant, Westbrook and others, and even Brunson is closer to superstars than Halliburton."
The famous commentator A-Smith said: "I want to explain it to everyone an important thing. I don't want people to underestimate a player who played a superstar performance yesterday. Halliburton deserves praise from all over the world. But the superstar I think is that you can't be an opponent every game The first choice to attack you, these things have always happened to Halliburton, even in the series of the Eastern Conference Finals. This kind of thing will not happen to the superstar. He has not reached that level yet. I admit that he is very good and a new star in the league. If he continues to improve, he will certainly become a super giant. When you look back at the regular season, you will find that Halliburton is very good, but the team does not use him as a star."
A-Smith then continued: "In the Eastern Conference Finals, he showed his strength and led the team to win in the first two rounds, but I will not list him as a super giant. He has not reached that level yet. I know he is a rising new generation star, but I need to see him perform more stably to label him as a super giant."
