Tyrese Haliburton Fires Hilarious Shot At Knicks Fans After WWE Appearance With Jalen Brunson

The Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks had a heated series in the NBA Playoffs, and if you thought things had simmered down in the weeks since, you're wrong. The rivalry flared up again and this time it happened with the help of the WWE.

Smackdown rolled into Madison Square Garden, and considering they were in the world's most famous arena, they needed to pull out all the stops.

So, on his way to the ring for a Money in the Bank qualifying match against Knight and Santo Escobar, Logan Paul leaned into his role as a heel and was joined by Pacers' star Tyrese Haliburton.

That's a perfect way to troll the crowd who are still reeling from watching their Knicks get bounced out of the postseason by Haliburton and Co. 

However, the Knicks faithful still got something to cheer for.

Haliburton found himself staring down LA Knight when someone emerged from the MSG stands wielding a steel chair.

BAH GAWD, IT WAS KNICKS STAR JALEN BRUNSON!

Paul lost the Money In The Bank qualifying match, while he and Haliburton wound up getting chased out of the ring by a chair-wielding Brunson. 

I mean, it had to end that way for the hometown crowd, didn't it?

But while Paul and Haliburton hightailed it into the bowels of Madison Square Garden, Haliburton still had a parting shot for Knicks fans.

"Hey, look, the ref counted a little fast tonight, didn't qualify for Money In The Bank. No problem," Paul said, holding up his United States Championship belt.

That's when Haliburton chimed in.

"I'm just glad New York won something," the former Iowa State Cyclone said. "They all feel good out there, so good for them. I hope they all sleep well tonight." 

"Yeah, y'all suck," Paul added with a laugh.

It's a shame we'll have to wait a while to see this Pacers-Knicks rivalry on the court again because it's becoming a good one.
