Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers built their early legacy in the ABA, winning three championships in 1970, 1972 and 1973 before joining the NBA in 1976. The franchise later became synonymous with Reggie Miller, whose clutch shooting helped produce memorable playoff runs throughout the 1990s, including the Pacers' first NBA Finals appearance in 2000. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
