“The most powerful friendship in basketball.” That’s how ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne described the bond between Tyrese Haliburton and Caitlin Clark. And now, as Haliburton gears up for Game 4 of the NBA Finals — with the Pacers just two wins from a title — that friendship is in the spotlight. A private text between the two has surfaced, revealing just how deep their connection really goes.
In a recent interview, Caitlin Clark was asked about her friendship with Haliburton, and she made it clear this isn’t just some casual, for-the-cameras relationship. She revealed that they are constantly leaning on each other to navigate the immense pressures of superstardom. In fact, she watches Haliburton and the Pacers to learn how to take better care of the ball, as he’s one of the best in the league at it. But Haliburton? He watches her games just as closely, and he’s not afraid to give her a hard time. “He’ll text me after a game when I have 10 turnovers,” Caitlin said with a laugh, “and be like, ‘Nice triple-double.'”
And this friendship isn’t just a one-way street of Haliburton giving advice. Clark said she’s constantly in his ear during Pacers games, too. “I was yelling at him the whole game [in Game 3] like, ‘Shoot it! Shoot it! Shoot it! You’re open!’“ she said. This isn’t just a casual friendship; these two are actively invested in each other’s success. According to Haliburton, he, his girlfriend Jade Jones, Caitlin, and her boyfriend Connor McCaffery have a group chat where they’re talking “24/7.”
It’s a support system, a friendship that seems to be rooted in a shared love for the game and for the city they both now call home. In fact, Clark made it clear that both she and Haliburton see a long-term future in Indiana. ‘Tyrese Haliburton and I would both tell you this is where we both hope to stay the rest of our careers,’ she declared.
This is a developing story, stay tuned.
