And this is what happened for most of Haliburton’s 35 minutes on the court, when he played with an edge, a fury that doesn’t seem like him. Wouldn’t you like to see more of it? This was Haliburton responding to all the haters out there — Dame Lillard, Bobby Portis, anonymous players who deemed him the NBA’s “Most Overrated Player” in that survey released earlier Tuesday — and doing it with venom. Afterward, he was shrugging. No big deal, he was saying. “I must be doing something right, if that’s the case,” he said of his spot on The Athletic’s survey. “I don’t have a big speech or comment on it. All I care about is this locker room and winning games. … I know who I am, and am confident in my own skin and not worried about what anybody thinks. My teammates trust me. So does my front office, my coaching staff. I could care less.”Source: Indianapolis Star
