Jordan retired. Twice. That's some pretty intense load management.
Tyrese Haliburton setting Pacers, Cyclones, and NBA records

Tyrese and Brock Purdy owning the sports narrative this week
That’s kind of what I was getting at with the burnout. He couldn’t handle not playing every game of a season…and bringing it the entire game. He also couldn’t handle playing 20 straight seasons.
Reggie and Tyrese aren't all that similar playing style but exact same energy. Straight up assassins but know how to have fun with it.
They are both long/skinny, both tons of swagger, both have unorthodox shots people want to change even though they are legendary shooters, but yeah it's the purest point guard vs the purest shooting guard as a player.
Tony Reali on DP show this week. Did a topic for Danettes to go around the horn.
Topic was Brock Purdy, and in the background behind Reali's chair an ISU helmet.
I remember people thinking it was crazy that Wigginton was on the bench while Tyrese started. After the first real game for Haliburton vs Mizzou when Wigginton was injured, it was pretty clear to me that Tyrese was a special player. No idea he would be this good.
That game was on some sort of crack, heroin, Ecstasy, Ketamine hybrid.

Better written than most with so many coming to this late to the party.
He's far too nice and happy to be a villain, the word they're looking for is "foil". The main reason he's a "foil" is because he's been in Sacramento and Indiana, were he in NY/LA/Chi he'd be considered pure altruistic hero and there wouldn't be any dream that he was spoiling things for others.
I'm not even a King's fan and that made me want to shave my wrists...
The "villain" narrative bothers me. He loves the game and loves to trash talk, but he's by all means a good guy who respects the game and respects his opponents. The way he handled the incident with his father, admitting his dad was out of line and that he was going to talk to Giannis about it, was classy. Also, I appreciated how he poked fun at himself for mimicking Reggie Miller's choking gesture when he thought it was 3 only to find out it was a 2 for the tie. He admitted he never would have made the gesture had he known it was for the tie.
There's never been a true villain in basketball who is the best passer, a pass first player, and is not a physical/dirty player.
It's impossible. Those traits are the opposite of a basketball villain.
He is an unselfish player whose team is typically the best/fastest offense because of him. He has a ton of personality and swagger. He plays for a small market where the media is pretty transparently angry that his team is beating their preferred teams.
Jokic had to go through some of this too, not in the same way and he's obviously even more of a generational talent, but it was a struggle for Jokic to even get a regular season game on national TV until he had MVPs and titles. He wasn't the player they liked, wasn't the city they liked, for some of the bozos on ESPN wasn't the race they liked, he was just the best in the world and it took WAAAAAAY too long for many to come around.
