    Al Harrington was a thing of beauty in his prime

  2. Bacorn31

    Rik Smits.

    He often gets forgotten, but he was an all star and so solid for the most accomplished NBA Pacers team.

  3. Seattle_Lucky

    Travis Best – dude came up big in some key playoff moments and was an excellent guard/backup for us for many years. Also extremely fast and tough player.

  4. fireball_boulevard

    In before the Lance-stans try to get Lance for every single box

    Im gonna go David West. He doesn’t get talked about enough as the reason we made those deep playoff runs in 2012-2014. Averaged 17 pts 8 rebounds.

  6. Turbomattk

    Ron Artest. He’s mostly remembered from the Malice at the Palace.

  7. BlueCollarGoldSwaggr

    Reggie Miller. He got screwed over when it came to all-star and all-nba selections throughout his career because the efficiency stats and advanced stats that say he was incredible didn’t exist back then. 11 straight seasons top-5 in the league in TS added (which is a combo of a player’s TS% and their volume). 10 seasons where he was top-6 in the league among guards in win shares. And only 5 all-star selections and 3 3rd team all-nba selections. He’s 17th all-time for career win shares. The only hall of famer he played with was a well past his prime Chris Mullin. No teammates that made all-nba until ’02 when he was 36 years old. And yet he took the Pacers to a finals and 5 conference finals.

    Derrick McKey

    David West

    Roger Brown

    Mel Daniels

    Three way tie. Derrick McKey and Jamaal Tinsley for Pacers fans underrating them (can drop Tinsley due to him missing so much time).

    Rik Smits for general NBA fans underrating him (but not Pacers fans), he was virtually unstoppable on offense.

  10. Maximum-Class5465

    Jamal Tinsley

    No one brings him up as one of the best Pacer PGs, but he certainly was.

    It’s gotta be Jermaine O’Neal. When he was at his peak he was a what top 3 or 4 big man in the league? He hasn’t really got his flowers for how good of a player he became

  12. TheSource88

    It is Dale Davis. He gets too frequently remembered as just a part of the “Davis brothers” and though Antonio was very good for us Dale was on another level. He is third in franchise history for win shares behind Reggie and Roger. What Dale did wasn’t sexy but he was the model of consistency giving us basically 10/10 with elite screen setting and defense every year for 650 games to start his career.

  13. alaska_rodeo

    Surprised Jalen Rose hasn’t been mentioned

  14. Transky13

    Danny Granger. Nobody talks about him ever but the dude was a legitimate hooper who could go up against the top players at his (short lived) peak

  15. PencilLegz

    Danny Granger doesn’t ever get enough love imo

  16. IAmARobot947

    Mark Jackson or Jalen? I’d like to hear what everyone’s thoughts are on those

  17. skerton17s

    JO should be in the rafters, but Derrick McKey was pretty critical to those great teams in the 90s.

  18. KrispyKreme_31

    Austin Croshere, he actually had a big impact on that Finals team and gets next to no love for it.

  19. afrothunder87

    I will be voting Fred Jones for every box moving forward. Thank you.
