1. Reggie Miller
A known clutch performer and trash talker, Reggie Miller held the all-time 3-point record for nearly 13 years.
In separate playoff series against the New York Knicks, Miller led the Pacers to victories at Madison Square Garden, scoring 25 points in the fourth quarter in one game and eight points in nine seconds within the final 20 seconds of another thrilling contest.
The three-time All-NBA and Hall of Fame guard has the most points, assists, steals, and 3-pointers in franchise history.
2. Jermaine O’Neal
Jermaine O’Neal possessed elite power and footwork, making him a formidable low-post scorer and shot-blocker. His reliable mid-range jump shot also made him a challenge for defenders to contain.
O’Neal finished third in MVP voting during the 2003-2004 season and was named to three All-NBA teams as a Pacer.
3. Paul George
Paul George threw down some of the most powerful and acrobatic dunks imaginable while providing elite 3-point shooting and perimeter defence during his time in Indiana.
PG-13 helped bring the franchise back to relevancy, leading them to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2013 and 2014.
George earned three All-NBA and All-Defensive selections as a Pacer.
4. Mel Daniels
Mel Daniels averaged as many as 24.0 points and 18.0 rebounds per game but in separate seasons.
The two-time ABA MVP and five-time All-ABA center helped Indiana win three ABA championships and he has the most rebounds in franchise history.
5. Roger Brown
Roger Brown was an efficient mid-range shooter, as he helped the Pacers win three ABA championships.
The three-time All-ABA forward has the fourth-most points and seventh-most assists in franchise history.
6. Tyrese Haliburton
Tyrese Haliburton is currently one of the best floor generals in the league. He can hit stepback and deep 3-pointers, attack the rim, and thread no-look passes in motion.
There is a chance Haliburton could be higher on this list in the future, especially if he helps lead the Pacers to their first NBA championship.
7. Rik Smits
Rik Smits was a powerful dunker with a solid mid-range jumper and hook shot.
“The Dunking Dutchman” earned MVP votes during the 1997-1998 season and has the second-most points, and third-most rebounds and blocks in franchise history.
