Fans were all making the same joke about Ryan Clark after Tyrese Haliburton’s otherworldly performance against the New York Knicks.
The Indiana Pacers star helped his team steal Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night after the home team appeared to lock it up.
The Knicks went on a late 16-1 run to take a 17-point lead over Indiana, but Haliburton and teammate Aaron Nesmith rallied back to send the game to overtime, erasing a nine-point deficit with just over 50 seconds left.

Haliburton hit a game-tying buzzer-beater he thought had won the game, trolling the opposition with a choke gesture before learning his three-pointer was actually a long two, as he had a foot on the line. Still, the Pacers won it in overtime 138-135 to steal a 1-0 advantage.
The Indiana star went viral for other reasons after the win, with social media pointing out that he’s with a white woman as they trolled ESPN’s Ryan Clark.
“Ryan Clark is not happy with Tyrese Halliburton 😉😂❄️❄️🐰,” someone joked.

“Tyrese Haliburton, who is married to a white woman, just led the Pacers to an epic comeback in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Tough night for Knicks fans & Ryan Clark😉,” another quipped.

“Tyrese Haliburton just hugged his blonde, white girlfriend on the court in joyous post-game for Pacers. Gonna go off on him, too, Ryan Clark?” a user asked.

Tyrese Haliburton Makes Admission After Stealing Game 1 vs. The Knicks

Clark is, of course, in a feud with Robert Griffin III after lashing out at him for marrying a white woman.
Haliburton, meanwhile, is not married but has been in a serious relationship with Jade Jones since 2019.
He has since admitted that he had no idea his shot was a two; otherwise, he wouldn’t have performed the choke gesture.
“If I had known it was a two, I wouldn’t have done it,” he confessed after the game.
Despite the ball bouncing several feet off the back rim before landing in the net, Haliburton said he was sure he was going to score.
“It felt like it got stuck up there,” he said. “And honestly, like, when it went in, I was like my eyes might have been deceiving me in the moment. But it felt good — it felt good when it left my hand.”
Game 2 between the Pacers and Knicks is scheduled for Friday night.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is not the most popular guy on TV. That much was apparent while he was calling the Wild Card game between the Broncos and Bills for CBS on Sunday.
Romo, who has done very little to hide how much he admires Buffalo QB Josh Allen, had some praise for the MVP favorite while he was attempting to take his team to the Divisional Round.
Some fans felt like he was being overly gracious, while some simply couldn’t stand him talking in general.
“STFU AGAIN ROMO!!!!!!!!! I’M TIRED OF YOUR BILLS AND CHIEFS GLAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE SICKENING ASF!!!!!!!!!!” an X user wrote.
“Can we start a petition to ban Romo from calling games,” another asked.
“Can Tony Romo get off his kneees for Josh Allen?” someone else chimed in.
“Tv muted when romo starts talking,” a fan claimed.
Tony Romo’s Partner Reached Impressive Milestone
While Romo was getting slammed, his broadcast colleague touched an impressive milestone.
Jim Nantz has been with CBS for over 40 years and reached his 500th game with the network calling Sunday’s fixture.
Nantz and Romo have been working together for seven of those 40 years.

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in women’s basketball. Her outstanding achievements and dominant performances on the court have boosted her confidence in her skills. However, this confidence has recently caused her some trouble, as NBA fans criticized her for a recent statement she made.
In a recent episode of the “Roommates” show, Wilson stunned both the NBA and WNBA by claiming that she could defeat New York Knicks star Josh Hart in a one-on-one matchup. Additionally, she predicted that the final score would be 11-8.
“Score would be 11-8, me. I’m not saying you gonna go scoreless, 8 to 11 is pretty solid. So, what do you think it’ll be, Josh?” Wilson said.
Although Josh and Wilson both had a good laugh during their conversation, Wilson’s comment stirred up the basketball community. “She’d lose 11-0 w him only playing w his offhand,” one fan said.
