Indiana Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton's favorite player is LeBron James, and he has publicly stated this many times. Just before the Indiana Pacers faced the Los Angeles Lakers in the mid-season finals last season, the Pacers star shared his feelings about James. "Like any kid born around 2000, LeBron was my favorite player growing up," Haliburton said. "Before I was drafted, I was always a Cavs fan, then a Heat fan, then a Cavs fan and a Lakers fan."

Most players lose their admiration for their idols when they enter the NBA, after all, their idols eventually become their opponents, but Haliburton still enjoys the opportunity to compete with James, the league's all-time leading scorer. Haliburton said in an interview: "The best part of being in the NBA is being able to compete with idols."
