A few weeks ago, a portion of the NBA fraternity attempted to saddle one of their leading peers with an indignity. This was not the product of a conspiracy, but the result of an anonymous poll, the data from which suggested that Tyrese Haliburton is the most overrated star in the league. Watch him play enough, and you’ll quickly understand why players would say that, when granted secrecy. It’s not because he isn’t great.

The Denver Nuggets have finished their season. The 2024-25 season ended as the one in 2023-24 did: in the second round, in seven games, to a young frenetic defense. Denver’s roster problems are hardly different now than they were last May. Though they are large and skilled and tough, they are not especially athletic on either side of the ball, and they don’t have enough shooting, either, to keep endless swarms of defenders away from Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.

People are paranoid about how the world works. Understandably so. There is much that is poorly explained in terms of how our institutions do and don't function, and about who gets the spoils versus who has to eat poop sandwiches every day as a matter of survival. The world is, in other words, unfair—often in structural ways, but often, too, in random ways.

Tyrese Haliburton had a bad start to this season, and so did his team. During Thanksgiving weekend, the Indiana Pacers were just 6-10, and their star point guard was putting up dismal numbers: 38 percent shooting from the field, with just a 29 percent average from beyond the three-point arc.

It’s rare, in the NBA, that you absolutely know a lead as large as 26 points will be erased. Sure, no lead is safe anymore, as they say. Higher volumes of three-point shooting and heightened pace of play broaden the modern numbers in all ways, so when the Memphis Grizzlies steamed their way through a dominant start against the Oklahoma City Thunder last week in Game 3, leading 77-51 at halftime, of course there was plenty of suspicion that they might not finish with a victory.
