Image via: Ron Hoskins/NBAE/Getty Images In a must-win Game 6 clash between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder, Tyrese Haliburton's father, John Haliburton, became an unexpected scene-stealer at Gainbridge Fieldhouse— not for his courtside antics this time, but for a bold outfit that had fans doing double-takes. As the Pacers fought to stay alive in the NBA Finals, John's fashion choice lit up social media and stirred conversation across fan bases. John Haliburton wears an NBA-wide statement for Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers John Haliburton arrived at Indiana's final home game of the 2025 postseason in what can only be described as a fashion wildcard. Wearing a Pacers jersey on top, John paired it with white pants decked out with logos from multiple NBA teams. But what truly puzzled fans was the visible placement of the Oklahoma City Thunder logo on the back of his left leg. The opposing team's emblem on a Pacers supporter, especially the father of a franchise star, was bound to raise eyebrows. Most would expect a more traditional display of loyalty in such a high-stakes setting, but John has never followed convention. His outfit was a reminder that he plays by his own rules. It appears that John was there to make a statement, wearing a Pacers T-shirt, which seemingly symbolizes that the team will remain undefeated. The rest could refer to the fallen teams in the play-in and playoffs, and possibly the Thunder in the finals. Fans shared their reactions to John Haliburton's unexpected outfit Fans online rushed into the comments to share their thoughts on the hilarious moment. Here's how they reacted to the classic John Haliburton moment. 'Next level fashion,' one user wrote. Another fan commented, 'Drip or drown, no in-between.' 'My fit in middle school,' one fan joked. 'John Haliburton is definitely a character!' one fan candidly acknowledged his style. 'Brothas of a certain age, am i bugging, or do all the versions of these pants have the logos organized in a similar order. I always remember that bulls on the left thigh, hawks on right hip, and that '6ers at the right ankle,' another shared. This isn't the first time John has made headlines this postseason. Earlier in the playoffs, he was temporarily banned following a heated exchange with Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Smith's booming voice or passionate takes that stole the show like his usual style. This time, it was his 17-year-old daughter, Samantha who appeared on camera with her father. While the veteran broadcaster was on air from Gainbridge Fieldhouse, ready to dissect the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Indiana Pacers showdown, viewers instead got a rare, lighthearted peek into Smith's personal life as his daughter made an impromptu on-camera appearance that quickly became the highlight of the night. Stephen A. Smith's daughter Samantha Smith 's confident cameo stuns ESPN crew As Stephen A. Smith and Elle Duncan were warming up the broadcast on the court, Duncan playfully invited Samantha over, joking that it was 'Bring your daughter to work day.' Smith, visibly uncomfortable but trying to roll with it, instructed her, 'Say hi.' Samantha seized the moment without hesitation: 'Hi guys, I'm Samantha.' When her dad pulled the mic away, she clapped back effortlessly, 'I'm talking here.' It didn't stop there. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'I'm Stephen's daughter.

'This is a really great experience. This is a really great experience and I feel really grateful to be here, you guys,' she continued confidently, leaving the panel and viewers, and of course, his ESPN colleague in awe. Later, NBA Countdown host Malika Andrews brought Samantha back on-air for her game pick. Going against her father, she declared, 'I'm going OKC. I think they're just going to end it tonight. I think Shai [Gilgeous-Alexander] has been killing it all season and he won MVP for a reason. So I think we're just going to finish it out now.' Smith, after having the candid father-daughter moment, looked both amused and defeated as his colleagues teased, 'We much prefer her pick over yours.' He questioned, 'You're going against your daddy on live television?' to which Samantha shrugged and replied, 'I think he knows I'm right.' Eventually, he admitted, 'She usually beats me on predictions.' Also Read: "He's miserable": Fans slam Stephen A.
