Do you see Tyrese Haliburton in a Prada coat or Peasant in the Fields?
When Pacers All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton arrived at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night, some saw a $9,200 Prada coat.
L.J. Rader on @ArtButSports saw the painting Peasant in the Fields by Kazimir Malevich.

Rader, a self-taught art aficionado from New York according to the New York Times, has a gift to recall art and connect it with the images he sees in games and on social media. He has almost 300,000 followers on X and more than 100,000 on Instagram.
Malevich created this piece in 1929 as part of his Neo-Suprematism style and it captures the essence of rural life and peasant labor -- an ironic choice for Haliburton's $9,200 jacket prior to his labor in New York City.
