NBA champion Richard Jefferson welcomed the stars on the red carpet. He interviewed as many players as he could, asking them about their outfits. The point guard and center were asked to tell the details of their outfits.
"Little Versace suit, you feel me? Brown, with a black little complexity, you know what I'm feeling?" Turner said.
"Prada shirt, Bottega jeans, Bottega shoes," Haliburton said. "I laid out my outfits before the Celtics game. This is what we gonna wear if we go to Vegas."
Haliburton looks ready to win the cup and strongly believes the Pacers can shock the world.
"Oh, for sure," Haliburton said. "If you don't think that and you're in that locker room, you shouldn't be there. We got 100% faith in ourselves."
