  • Episode 18 - The Rise of Braden Smith ft Boom Baby Sports

    In this episode of the Pacers Podcast, we sit down with an avid Indiana Pacers jersey collector whose impressive collection spans decades of team history. 🔥


    Together we break down the rapid rise of Braden Smith, the Indiana native and Purdue All-American (NCAA all-time assists leader) who the Pacers acquired on draft night and signed to a two-way deal. With the roster heavily shorthanded, Smith has seized his opportunities—most notably a strong first career start—and we discuss his elite playmaking, competitiveness, basketball IQ, and what his emergence means for the backcourt. We also take a balanced look at the team’s performance without Tyrese Haliburton, who is sidelined with a hamstring strain after returning from last year’s Achilles


    Our guest brings a unique fan perspective throughout, sharing stories from years of collecting Pacers jerseys (from classics to modern eras) and how the team’s identity and player legacies shine through both the uniforms and the on-court product. Whether you’re following Braden Smith’s development, evaluating the team’s direction without Haliburton, or simply love NBA jersey culture, this conversation is for you.
