In a nail-biting playoff game at Madison Square Garden, the air was thick with tension as Knicks fans held their breath during critical free throws. The atmosphere became reminiscent of past playoff matches, notably marked by Reggie Miller's historic performance against the Knicks. Tyrese Haliburton, drawing inspiration from Miller's iconic moments, honored the legacy by imitating his 'choke' gesture after a successful game. This moment stirred nostalgia for long-time fans, showcasing the weight of historical rivalries in sports and its emotional impact in present-day games.
"Shhhhhhhhhhh! They yelled as OG Anunoby stepped to the line with seven seconds left, hoping that quiet would somehow help him focus and keep the rising collective dread at bay."
"Haliburton said he's watched that documentary 'probably 50 times' growing up and had been waiting... for the right moment to reenact Miller's 'choke' gesture in front of the MSG crowd."
