Because it’s finally happened… The Indiana Pacers are going to the NBA Finals! For the first time in 25 years, your Pacers have punched their ticket to the biggest stage in basketball. Let that sink in — we’re four wins away from an NBA Championship.This is for the legends of the ABA days… Mel Daniels, George McGinnis, Roger Brown… the ones who built the foundation, who made Indiana a basketball state long before the NBA came calling. This Finals run is part of their legacy too.Slick Leonard and his wife Nancy, who without them, there would be no Indiana Pacers basketball.This one's for Reggie Miller, who carried Indiana on his back and gave us moments that defined an era.This is for Mark Jackson, the Davis boys — Dale and Antonio — the grit, the grind, the glory.This is for Jermaine O'Neal, Ron Artest, and Stephen Jackson, who came so close but never got their shot to finish the job.This is for Danny Granger, Paul George, David West, and those early 2010s squads who fought through the East but ran into a King.This is for every fan who packed the Fieldhouse when the odds were stacked against them, who believed when the nation slept. And now? This is for Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, Myles Turner, and the new era of Pacers who just shocked the league and made Indy believe again.
