Tyrese Haliburton's girlfriend leads the perfect troll after Pacers beat Knicks
Tyrese Haliburton's girlfriend's troll game is a 10 out of 10.
The Indiana Pacers are moving on to the NBA Finals for the first time this century after defeating the New York Knicks, the same team they beat 25 years ago in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Pacers' series win was kick-started by an historic comeback, and Jade Jones basked in it.
"finally got to see the ball drop in NYC," she posted on Instagram after that game with a smirking emoji.
Well, after the Knicks' season ended over the weekend, Jones took one more parting shot at the Knickerbockers.
"go NY go NY go… Home!!!" Jones posted on Sunday in a play on the Knicks' "Go New York" rally cry.
Jones posted several photos in the post, including three with herself and Haliburton, an AI-generated photo of the Statue of Liberty in a Pacers jersey and a shot of Haliburton's infamous choke signal after Game 1.
Haliburton pulled off a Grade-A troll job on Sunday, including toward Knicks superfan Ben Stiller.
Haliburton and his other Pacers teammates entered the Gainbridge Fieldhouse wearing all black, alluding to having a funeral for the Knicks and the series. He carried a black duffel bag with him as he walked through the arena's corridor. Stiller had some words on X.
"Good thing he brought his duffel for the flight to NY," he wrote.
After the game, Haliburton fired back.
"Nah, was to pack y'all up," Haliburton wrote.
The Pacers now have a date with the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are considered the heavy favorites to win their first-ever title after going 68-14 in the regular season with MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Indiana defeated the Milwaukee Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers in five and six games, respectively, before taking on New York, who had taken down the Detroit Pistons and the Boston Celtics in a stunning upset.
Oklahoma City defeated Indiana in both matchups during the regular season.

Shaq wants Travis Kelce to DJ for Taylor Swift: 'A [expletive] star'
Shaq wants Travis Kelce to DJ for Taylor Swift: 'A [expletive] star' NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal jumped on this week's episode of the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce. The four-time NBA champion and three-time NBA Finals MVP chatted with the NFL brothers about this year's Oklahoma-Indiana NBA Finals, his memories of Kobe and even his favorite Taylor Swift song (spoiler alert: it's "I Knew You Were Trouble"). Shaq, who has been DJing as DJ Diesel for years, had DJ advice for Travis. "You've got to get me on the DJ booth, man." Kelce said. "You've got to teach me your ways." "Bro, I got you," O'Neal responded. "You know what's crazy? You opening up for your girlfriend? Bro you'd be a [expletive] star. Twenty minutes. Ten minutes. Hyping up the crowd? Oh my god." It's a perfect fit as Travis Kelce has already displayed his show business side as the Kansas City tight end joined girlfriend Taylor Swift on stage in London last summer to perform the intro to "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart" on her Eras Tour. Warning, some NSFW language is included in the clip. O'Neal went on to talk about meeting Swift -- and rapper Ice Spice -- at the 2024 Super Bowl. Could we see a DJ Diesel and Travis Kelce collaboration soon? We need this in our lives after seeing these two on this week's New Heights episode.
