by Kent SterlingLast night, the Dallas Cowboys were embarrassed in the arctic cold of Chicago’s lake shore, and tonight the Indiana Pacers with play the Miami Heat in the most eagerly awaited matchup of the young NBA season. These two franchise could not be run more differently; one is very successful while the other has been […]
by Kent Sterling At the Indiana Pacers event yesterday at Stout Air Force Base, I spent a little time with Vice President of Player Relations Clark Kellogg. It’s easy to gravitate toward Kellogg because he is a welcoming and insightful guy. You can do a lot worse than choose Kellogg to spend a couple of […]
by Kent Sterling Riding high with an NBA best record of 18-3 and LeBron coming to town tomorrow night, no one would blame the Indiana Pacers for taking today off to rest for their first test of the season from the team that refused them entry into the NBA Finals six months ago. The Pacers […]

by Kent Sterling Contrasting styles make fights, and that’s why I can’t wait to watch the Indiana Pacers play the New York Knicks tonight at 7p on Fox Sports Indiana. The Pacers have won nine of ten, while the Knicks are 3-7. The causes for both results are many, and vividly display the differences between […]
by Kent Sterling Indiana Pacers power forward David West is a thoughtful guy. He thinks before he speaks, and answers questions without using cliches. I love interviewing him because the quality of the questions drives the quality of the answers. You do not walk up to West, shove a micrpone in his face, and say, […]
