Tomorrow’s NBA Draft and the beginning of free agency have prompted a lot of talk about how everyone hopes to play in a vibrant and fun city. Indianapolis, along with Milwaukee, Salt Lake City, Memphis, Detroit, and Cleveland, is often listed among those cities rejected as being uncool. I get it. When the idea of […]
Romeo Langford finished his only year at Indiana University as the third leading freshman scorer in program history. He’s a solid 6’5″ with a 6’11” wingspan, and a unique ability to get to the rim and finish. His freshman year was seen by Indiana fans who believed IU was poised for a bounce back season as […]
Rumors are swirling that the Lakers are looking to deal LeBron James only one year after he signed a four-year deal as the foundational rebuilding piece for the formerly proud franchise. One of the teams being discussed as a destination for James is the Indiana Pacers because the Pacers have $45 million in cap space. That […]
Paul George is not as valuable a player as PG-13 is as a brand, and that’s just the way George likes it. The OKC Thunder forward had a typical line last night – 27 points and seven boards in a 114-94 loss to the Portland Trailblazers. The Thunder now trail Portland 0-2 in their first round […]

You either get it or you don’t. Sports make a city go. That was the philosophy Indianapolis city leaders adopted in the late 1960s, when they decided sports would define this community. That was a moment of pure prescience. The specific goal was to host a Summer Olympics. That dream will likely never come to fruition, but […]
Forty-eight hours ago, like 98% of Pacers fans, I had only a vague idea of the existence of a quadriceps tendon. Now, we know where it is and what it does (attaches the quadriceps muscle to the knee and knee cap). We also know that the quadriceps tendon in Victor Oladipo’s right leg snapped with […]
When Victor Oladipo crumpled to the floor with 4:05 left in the first half of last night’s game against Toronto, fans wondered if this promising season crumpled with him. The rest of the Pacers continued to fight to earn the win against Toronto, but the question of what the ceiling is for the team minus […]
If you’re an Indianapolis sports fan, and you’re not smiling this morning – you are really hard to please. Wins by the Colts and Pacers yesterday put the cherry on top off a spectacular sundae of action that began with another Pacers win on Friday in Philly against the team with the best home record […]
