'Overrated' Tyrese Haliburton has savage 2-word response to all the Pacers haters image

Tyrese Haliburton kept the receipts. 

The Indiana Pacers superstar point guard made the game-winning bucket with 1.3 seconds left in overtime on Tuesday night, sending his squad to the second round of the playoffs.

It didn't take long for him to get onto his phone and send out a two-word message on social media:

Haliburton didn't miss the anonymous player poll run a few weeks ago by The Athletic.

In it, 14 percent of the NBA voted Haliburton as the league's most overrated player, with him beating out Rudy Gobert for the top spot on the list.

It seemed like a pretty shaky take then, and it looks worse now.

Haliburton went for 20-plus points and 10-plus assists in each of the first four games of the Pacers-Bucks series. In Game 5, he "only" had 26 points and nine assists.

He led the Pacers from down seven with 40 seconds left to win in a ridiculous comeback.

He definitely isn't overrated.

If anything, he's underrated by playing in a non-coastal market.

The Pacers will be just fine if opponents keep thinking Haliburton is overrated, though. That'll just allow him to cook them time and again, just as he did on Tuesday night to win a playoff series.
