A potential matchup between Brunson and Haliburton was sparked back in June when the two stars faced off at WWE Smackdown at Madison Square Garden.

They even went as far as to get in the ring together, where Brunson taunted Haliburton with a chair.

There was no wrestling match then, but Brunson isn't ruling out the idea of squaring off in the future.

In the meantime, the two will continue exciting fans on the basketball court after having career years last season. Brunson put up 28.7 points and 6.7 assists per game while Haliburton dropped 20.1 points and led the league in assists with 10.9 per game.

New York and Indiana gave fans a thrilling seven-game battle in the playoffs with Haliburton's Pacers ultimately coming out on top to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
