The NBA’s Indiana Pacers were founded in 1967 as members of American Basketball Association (ABA). The Pacers played their games at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum where they dominated the league and won three championships with legends like Mel Daniels, George McGinnis, Rick Mount, Roger Brown, and legendary coach Bobby “Slick” Leonard. The Pacers joined the NBA in 1976 and eventually moved downtown to Market Square Arena. Today, the Pacers play at Gainbridge Fieldhouse as members of the NBA’s Eastern Conference.

The Pacers NBA legacy hit its peak during the Reggie Miller era with the team regularly battling in the Eastern Conference Finals against rivals including the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls. The team nearly won a championship in 2000 while dueling with Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal’s Los Angeles Lakers. Coaches Larry Brown and Larry Bird led those teams with standout players such as Rick Smits, Dale Davis, Antonio Davis, and Jalen Rose.

Today, the Pacers are building a new generation of talent under veteran coach Rick Carlisle. Point guard Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nemhard, Aaron Newsmith, Bennedict Mathurin, and a core of young talent make the Pacers one of the most high-octane teams in the NBA.
