Indiana Pacers history
The name nods to two Indiana traditions: the pace cars of the Indianapolis 500 and harness racing. The Pacers were founding members of the ABA in 1967 and moved into the NBA in 1976 when the leagues merged.
All three of their championships came in the ABA, in 1970, 1972 and 1973, and they also played in the 1969 and 1975 ABA Finals. In the NBA they reached the Finals in 2000 and 2025. Six Hall of Fame players spent several seasons in Indianapolis, among them Reggie Miller, Chris Mullin and George McGinnis, and coaches Larry Brown, Jack Ramsay and Bobby "Slick" Leonard are also in the Hall. Miller and Detlef Schrempf made the FIBA Hall of Fame too.
