Hope reigns eternal Pacers fans! My heart says we're a contender!

The starting 5 is fast and efficient. It might be the most explosive offense of all the Ultimates. Lots of space for Mel and Big George. I'm not sure about Freddie Lewis over Mark Jackson. I think I want facilitating over scoring with this team. Nice job giving respect to ABA.

Thanks so much for making a pacers video. They are often overlooked, but Indiana has always been a a big basketball state

Shout out to George McGinnis and the great Mel Daniels.

This team feels like it could compete with today's modern NBA. I worry about their depth, but love the love shown to ABA greats.

It's really interesting that this franchise could build for any era of basketball, better than others. Inside, outside, and in between.

RIP Wayman Tisdale... Great player, great artist.

I was expecting Detlef Schrempf and Jermaine O'Neal in the front court but I know I'm still learning about the legends from way before they arrived. I know who George McGinnis is but Mel Daniels is a new one for me that I need to learn about! That's why I'm subscribed to you!

I expected Roger Brown on the starting SF spot, Mark Jackson instead of Haliburton (still early for him), Dale Davis instead of Granger as a rotation player and Clark Kellog and Don Buse among the honorable mentions.

Really want to see a deep dive on George McGinnis. Too much of his peak was in the ABA and some weak Nuggets teams, it seems like only the 3 years he spent with the Sixers gets any attention outside of specific ABA retrospectives. I think the way his career played out leaves him underrated historically.

Very cool video, Jonny! Reggie is one of my favorite players from the 90s and 2000s. He was such a great sharpshooter and he and Haliburton would be a great backcourt. PG would be a solid SF too. I didn't know much about McGinnis but it was great to learn about him. That's awesome how he could play both a physical style and w/finesse. A solid all around player. I don't think I heard much about Daniels either but learned more here also and think he and McGinnis would be a great frontcourt. The starting 5 brings a lot of great offense and would be a lot of fun to watch. Lewis and Oladipo would def. be a solid backcourt and (along with Granger) bring high-octane offense. I remember O'Neal (from his Blazers and Pacers days) and Smits (esp from the 2000 finals) They are definitely solid big men. The rotation players are great too. They bring solid shooting (Schrempf and Brown) and defense (Artest). I want to read up more on the Pacers and ABA. You and Uncle Hays have inspired me to learn more about the NBA during the 70s. :) Happy Monday, Jonny 😊!

True, but I feel like a player needs to play at least a certain number of games for the team, in order to qualify. I don’t know exactly how many games, but probably more than the 135 that English played. That’s not even 2 seasons.

It's a well rounded team but compared to some of the other stacked teams I'm just not sure if they'll be able to really displace some of the other dynasties like the Celtics.

I don't see this team as one of the strongest of the ultimate team series and with so much competition I don't see this as a playoff team but the addition of Haliburton makes this team better than it would have been a few years ago. They would win some close games because "Gets into to Miller for the win. It's there!"

The Pacers look good! Thanks for making this video. George McGinnis definitely needs a deep dive, he was like a LeBron before LeBron. If Reggies Pacers could push the Bulls to seven and PG13's squad could push the LeBron led Heat to seven, this team could shake things up! And the Pistons team is going to be suffocating defensively!

Don Buse should be an honorable mention. Elite defensive guard and passer. He was an ABA champ and six time all defensive player between the two leagues.

I was hoping Roger Brown would at least make the second team, but a quick look at his stats reveal that he didn't score as prolifically as I remembered. However, he was a tremendous player who was initially -- and unfairly -- banned from the NBA just like Connie Hawkins.

HELL YEAH! LET'S GO MILLER TIME!

If it were me constructing teams for a 2K sim, I would put the rookie versions of each player on the team they played their rookie year for, so there would be no repeated players on multiple teams. Then, I’d figure out how long each player was with each team and force them onto the next team they played for in the appropriate year. The g league would be filled with players who don’t make the team as rookies but might crack the lineup in future years. You could attempt to run a 20 year sim, young players who are on current rosters could be forced to stay on that team for the full sim. I’d make it so no rookies are added to the teams for the full duration of the sim. When too many players retire and the game crashes, it’s over. It’s basically all of nba history condensed, where everyone is a rookie at the same time, where peaks and regressions happen with age.

You should do the coaches too.

Some fans won't recognize the names Jermaine O'Neal, Ron Artest, Danny Granger and Chuck Person. Probably would have helped if they didn't draft (ok, Toronto drafted him, but Indiana traded for him) infamous bust Jonathan Bender in their golden NBA era over names like Wally Szczerbiak, Richard Hamilton, Andre Miller, Shawn Marion, Jason Terry, and 2nd rounder Manu Ginobili or Rick Robey over hometown hero LARRY BIRD. You did not misread that. Was that too harsh of a way of saying this team ain't making the playoffs in this sim? Least you got the Colts, Indy. Regardless, I love the roster and the love to names like George McGinnis, the greatest player in franchise history in Mel Daniels, Freddie Lewis and...Roger Brown? I heard that name before, but like...wow. And yes, I did forget Schrempf played for this team, thanks for asking.
