(Kyle Terada)

Tyrese Haliburton has had an up-and-down series.

He's gone from being called one of the next superstars in the NBA to being called a fraud in the next game.

Either way, he's stepped up enough to force a Game 7 in the NBA Finals against a powerhouse Thunder team.

What decision did Haliburton make that led to their deep playoff run?

ESPN's Ramona Shelburne reported that Haliburton quit social media after Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Although he hasn't been active, Tyrese admitted that occasionally he has to check social media for one thing.

That one thing is keeping up with WWE.

I don't blame Tyrese, as some interesting storylines are playing out in the WWE right now.

It's clearly helped because he's been able to block out the noise from social media and force a Game 7 situation that I'd think most Pacers fans and NBA fans didn't expect to see.
