Tyrese Haliburton and Caitlin Clark aren’t just friends, they’re pushing each other to be better and making Indiana the center of the basketball universe. “Ty and I would both tell you this is where we hope to stay the rest of our careers," Clark told ESPN

Well as a Pelicans fan who is grateful for how OKC rallied around the team and arguably saved the franchise after Katrina hit some 20 years ago, I'd like to see the Thunder rally and win. But the revival of hoops in Indiana is great for basketball, I must concede.

  4. Dope…I like how Caitlin’s talent is making women’s basketball bigger and more open to the world. Love this crossover. 

  5. Pacers are 8-0 with her in the stands. She better be there tonight!!

  8. I only got into basketball 2 years ago, and by chance found and fell in love with the Pacers before they went and made their run to the ECF last year. I feel like the luckiest dude in the world.

    I don’t know that I necessarily feel like i’ve earned the depth of emotion I feel for the city and the team compared to those who grew up with it, but man I haven’t had this feeling since I got into hockey near the end if high school. Fuck all the narratives around ratings and whatever, this sport rocks.

  9. While some NBA stars rightfully so want to go to big market teams.

    It’s nice to hear these new crop of NBA and WNBA stars want to make their name in a nice place like Indiana.

    Kudos to Hali and CC.

  11. I don’t know what Shelburne thinks friend do or don’t do but encouraging each other to be their best is what a lot of friends do.

  12. Love it for Indiana. Almost as much as I love them fucking the Knicks. I’ll forever be a Halliburton fan with that choking nod to Reggie. Fuck spike Lee.

  15. As a Hoosier, we should be the center of pro bball. Ppl talk grains but another massive Indiana export is hoopers.

  17. That loyalty from Haliburton. I can’t imagine having a talent like that on your team and just giving him away.

  21. They’re not just friends, they’re Family™️.

  23. Basketball superstars who actually wanna stay in Indy… My heart is swelling 💗
