The 2024-25 NBA season did not unfold well for Indiana Pacers star Tyre se Haliburton, who suffered an ACL tear. However, he made several remarkable performances throughout the season, which led the Pacers to the NBA finals. One such stellar highlight was Game 1 of the conference finals series against the New York Knicks.
Pacers legend Reggie Miller commented on the game. When the game reached the final seconds, Haliburton stunned everyone by making a three-pointer, which extended the game into overtime.
After making that amazing shot, Haliburton choked his neck with both hands, copying Reggie Miller’s famous choke gesture from the 1994 playoffs. Moreover, cameras caught Miller pointing at Haliburton at that time. This was one of the stellar highlights of the season. Recently, CM Punk paid tribute to both Haliburton and Miller with an iconic choke celebration at Wrestlepalooza Indiana.
CM Punk and AJ Lee won the match against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch at Wrestlepalooza. After the thrilling game, Punk celebrated by performing a chokehold while Haliburton, a long-time WWE fan, was in the arena.

Wrestlepalooza was highly anticipated, particularly because it featured the match between John Cena and Brock Lesnar. Before this match, Haliburton explained why he considers Cena his greatest of all time (GOAT) over Lesnar.
Although Cena put up a good fight, Lesnar’s dominance was on another level. He executed multiple F-5s on Cena, leading to a quick win. After the referee counted to three, Cena lost the match, leaving a sense of disappointment in the arena.
Haliburton, who was seated in the front row, appeared visibly shocked. Recently, photos and videos of his reaction have surfaced on social media, capturing his disappointment at the outcome.
