The Indiana Pacers, founded in 1967 as a charter member of the ABA before joining the NBA in 1976, built a legacy of championship success, Hall of Fame players, and passionate fan support in one of basketball’s most storied states. The Pacers dominated the ABA behind stars like Mel Daniels, a two-time MVP, and sharpshooter Roger Brown, winning three ABA championships in 1970, 1972, and 1973 under coach Bobby Leonard before transitioning to the NBA. While the early NBA years brought growing pains, the 1980s introduced star guard Clark Kellogg and later Chuck Person, the “Rifleman,” whose scoring kept Indiana competitive. The franchise’s true golden era came in the 1990s with Reggie Miller, the Hall of Fame shooting guard renowned for his clutch three-point shooting and iconic playoff performances, including his eight points in nine seconds against the New York Knicks in 1995. Under coach Larry Brown and later Larry Bird, the Pacers became perennial contenders, reaching the Eastern Conference Finals multiple times and advancing to their lone NBA Finals in 2000 before falling to the Los Angeles Lakers. Miller, alongside Rik Smits, Mark Jackson, and Jalen Rose, cemented the Pacers as one of the East’s toughest teams during that era. The 2000s featured stars like Jermaine O’Neal, a multiple-time All-Star, and Ron Artest, whose defense and intensity defined the early decade before the infamous 2004 “Malice at the Palace” brawl overshadowed the team’s on-court success. The 2010s brought a new wave of competitiveness behind Paul George, David West, and Roy Hibbert, who reached consecutive Eastern Conference Finals in 2013 and 2014, battling LeBron James’ Miami Heat. The modern Pacers, led by Tyrese Haliburton, Myles Turner, and young talents like Bennedict Mathurin, aim to blend exciting offense with playoff aspirations. From ABA glory to Miller’s clutch heroics and today’s rising stars, the Pacers’ history combines championships, iconic moments, and Indiana’s deep basketball tradition.
