The finals of this season are about to begin, the Thunder and the Pacers will have an ultimate showdown, and the two new generation guards, Alexander and Halliburton, will also usher in a direct dialogue. Both of them have reached the finals for the first time in their careers, and one of them will win their first championship in their careers.

Alexander and Halliburton can also be said to be the two best performers in this season's playoffs. Alexander still maintained his MVP level in the playoffs, averaging 30 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists per game. Among all the players who broke through at least the first round, Alexander also had the highest average score per game, and as long as Brunson's average score was close to Alexander, only Jokic and Edwards had more than 25 points per game, but they were much worse than Alexander.

Halliburton is also very good. Although the average score is much worse than Alexander, he can also contribute comprehensive data of 19 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists per game, with assists leading all players in the league. Not only that, Halliburton contributed three finals and tied in the playoffs this season, and helped the Pacers complete a big reversal three times when they were 7 points behind in the last minute, so the Pacers can reach the finals as a dark horse.

It is worth mentioning that Halliburton has sent 156 assists so far this year's playoffs, but only 31 mistakes have occurred, with an assist-and-turnover ratio of up to 5, which means that every 5 assists have been sent. While leading the league in assists, it is indeed very rare that Halliburton can maintain such a high assist-return ratio and is rare in history.

Since the NBA league's turnover data began in 1978, Halliburton has also become the second player in playoff history to give at least 150 assists and make less than 50 mistakes before the Finals. The first is Johnson, the recognized historical first point guard magician.

Interestingly, because Halliburton often performs some miracles in the game and his name is very similar to Harry Potter, he is also called a magician by fans. Now Halliburton, a magician, not only performed well as a magician, but also led the team to the finals again after 25 years and is expected to win the first championship in team history. Even if he can't beat the Thunder in the end to win the championship, Halliburton's performance this season is impressive enough, completely breaking the doubt that he is the most overrated player in the league.
