Jermaine O'Neal : "The energy was amazing. I felt like I was in the game. I was sweating, and I’m like, Why am I sweating?’ "I remember we used to be in timeouts and the first horn would go off and he’s kind of sitting there like, We’re going to do this, and then we go out there and run it," he says.

The 46-year-old is now 11 years removed from his NBA career and 17 from his eight-year run with the Pacers .

He praises coach Rick Carlisle's strategic mind and ability to connect with players.

Tyrese Haliburton is trying to define himself as a true, true star, says O'Neal .

The Pacers star point guard has a chance to be that, he says.

"I think he can still get 30 and 10. He has to take that next step," he says of the Pacers .

"He works to set the table for other people, and sometimes that unique skillset can impact the game offensively".
