  1. Two consecutive 20-20 games is insane. I don't know the official stats but I can't imagine many players have ever pulled this off

  2. The only thing i don't like about him is his ugly looking shooting package😂 But he's a shooter tho it just i dont like the package should have been a Ray allen Jumpshot package😅

  3. Dam the pacers was losing and he said nope he did it to the bulls and someone got mad me for calling him the next steph curry

  4. I like hali, but some of these assists are questionable haha i feel like who ever tallies the score card has to be a pacers fan

  5. Hali doing that thing all of us did playing MyPlayer in 2K games trying to break that 30 assists single game record.

  6. One day, his teammates will shoot well enough, he'll play long enough, and, that day, this fella will hit 100 assists in a single game.

  7. The fact he has more assist than players are getting points consistently while still scoring more than then in points is crazy 😂

  8. Love his passing game. But hey, why does Hield's bucket at end of 2nd quarter counts as an assist? Dude dribble twice before making the shot, how does that translate into an assist? (I really have a problem with how NBA records assist)
