I own a pair of socks with the Dunking Dutchman’s face on them. Need I say more? Rik was as essential to the Pacers as Reggie Miller. Those alive and watching that era know it’s true. 🎉 Also honorary mention just because - I was in kindergarten and grade school going to Market Square and watching Steve Stipanovich play center. He was the most ungraceful but decent player on the team at times. Just a shout out to those that recall and stomping style of STEPO! 😊
Thinking about domas and what could have been with tyrese makes me so upset. We should have kept him and traded some picks and myles to get tyrese. I love myles but......
@@LockedOnPacers Very true, more than likely not. But I feel like we had enough talent on our roster and 1rd picks that the Kings front office would have made another mistake like they have in the past. Pre Pascal, our 3 1st round picks and myles sounds like pretty good negotiating leverage. Plus we could have let them keep buddy or they could have used him in a different trade. Maybe I'm a naive Domas fan but I feel like we could have found a way. Would more than likely change the outcome of some of the young players currently on our roster but that tyrese domas connect will forever live in "what could have been"
Smits JO Smits Sabonis. Hibbert Defense is way too important to award so much for Sabonis. Fine offensive player. Just can't guard his position. Smits was by far the best two way center we ever had. Shaq said he gave him fits. JO was best as a forward. Still our second best center.
locked on fever absolutely should exist

Met Stepo a few times. Great guy too!
The Pacers had an assistant coach who passed away a few years ago who could play a little center, Mel Daniels
No doubt. Would have been first if ABA was included.
Awesome series.
Smits stats are deceptive. Those mid to late 90s teams were balanced with everyone playing their role.

Kings wouldn't have done it without Sabonis.
