Tyrese Haliburton invites Pacers fan who got mobbed by Knicks fans to ECF in classy move

[ASFN Admin]

After the Indiana Pacers clinched their spot in the Eastern Conference Finals, one bold fan decided to test how far he could stretch his luck by attending Game 6 of the other East semi between the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics at MSG... while wearing his Pacers jersey.

Suffice to say, that plan backfired when Knicks fans mobbed him and hit him with trash in a video that went viral on X.

Luckily, that's not how this fan's playoff story ends, though. On Monday, he got to chat with Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton on the Pat McAfee show, and Haliburton actually invited him and a plus-one to Indiana for Game 4 of the Pacers' upcoming series with the Knicks.
