Tyrese Haliburton flies under the radar just a bit.
That's what happens when you play in the Midwest for the Indiana Pacers and not under the bright lights of a coastal city.
But don't get it twisted: Haliburton is a superstar.
And his most impressive regular season stat surpassed both LeBron James and Chris Paul to set a new NBA record.
Haliburton had 14 games during the regular season with at least 20 points, at least 10 assists and zero turnovers.
That's the most in a single-season in NBA history.
Next on the list were Paul (13 such games), James (12 such games) and Tim Hardaway Sr. (12 such games).

Haliburton's ability to pass exceptionally without turning the ball over is unmatched.
The Pacers have been on a hot streak in large part because of their leading man.
In his last 21 games of the regular season, Haliburton averaged 20.6 points and 11.0 assists per game. In that stretch, he shot an insane 53.3 percent from the floor, 43.9 percent from 3 and 86.4 percent from the line.
The Pacers' chances in the playoffs depend entirely on Haliburton, and he's currently playing at the peak of his powers.
A first-round matchup with the Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo is a tough one. But if Haliburton scores the ball, distributes the ball and protects the ball, the Pacers will be just as tough.
