Mel Daniels has an argument for being number one; thereβs no way he shouldnβt be in the top 10 at all. 2x league MVP and 3 championships for Indiana in the ABA is a better resume than basically everyone on that list except for Reggie, whoβs got the longevity argument.
If weβre being real, Freddie Lewis, Roger Brown, and maybe Bob Netolicky should be in the top 10 too, and Billy Kellerβs probably closer than you would think. The Pacers were a legit dynasty in the 70s, and leaving off key players from those teams for Victor Oladipo would be like putting DeRozan on an all time Spurs list but leaving off Tony Parker and Manu.
okay as a pacers fan, I know why Ron artest isnβt up there, But he should definitely be up there objectively. It may be bad praxis, But He is arguably the closest thing weβll ever see to Dennis Rodman but maybe better offensively too? Either way, Definitely was a huge snub!

I can't lie, that top 10 for a franchise is pretty weak.
I was really hoping the only player Dmills would get would be Danny Granger π
no sabonis?
So no Ron Artest
Pacers fans did Turner dirty π€’

Halliburton below Paul George is crazy, why do so many people not value winning?
