How will a 2024 NBA title affect the legacies of Ant, Luka, Tatum and Haliburton?

For the first time, zero current or former Most Valuable Players -- the award was introduced before the 1955-56 season -- have reached the NBA's final four, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Welcome to the next-gen conference finals, which present a massive opportunity for four young stars looking to take the next step in their careers. Celtics' forward Jayson Tatum, who at 26 is already a grizzled playoff veteran, has yet to capture a ring, unlike the Boston legends of the past. The Pacers, meanwhile, feature one of the league's most exciting and dynamic young guards in 24-year-old Tyrese Haliburton, who has led Indiana to a surprising conference finals run.
