You couldn’t miss it shortly after the Knicks finished off the Celtics to reach their first Eastern Conference Finals in 25 years, with a playoff rematch against the Pacers set.

The clip of Knicks captain Jalen Brunson and Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton coming face to face in a wrestling ring last June began popping up all over social media to the tune of WWE predicting the matchup with a trip to the NBA Finals at stake.&nbsp;

There was Brunson, side by side with L.A. Knight, chasing the brass-knuckles-wearing Haliburton — with his “Tyrese 3:17” shirt — and Logan Paul out of Madison Square Garden. As Brunson tells him, “You’ve been soft,” while he leaves, Haliburton says, “I’ll be back. You don’t want to see me again.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

Just hours after the Knicks game ended, Paul posted a TikTok of the confrontation to X, telling Haliburton to “Finish the story” like Cody Rhodes did at WrestleMania 40.&nbsp;
