Myles Turner and Tyrese Haliburton make their first NBA Finals trip

For the first time in their careers, Myles Turner and Tyrese Haliburton are headed to the NBA Finals. This is a good opportunity for Haliburton as he now has the chance to win his first NBA title fresh from winning an Olympic gold medal in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Turner, the Pacers' big man, has been playing for the team since 2015. To be able to finally go all the way in the playoffs after spending 10 years with the team must be a fulfilling feeling.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, Turner averaged 13.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.8 blocks throughout six games. As for Haliburton, he could've been named the ECF MVP with his performance as he averaged 21.0 ppg, 10.5 apg, 6.0 rpg and 2.5 spg.

With the Pacers set to face off against the OKC Thunder in the finals, they now have to prepare for the wrath of the reigning 2024-25 season MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
