Pacers Pro-Basketball
Pacer fans were also elated with the team’s win on Monday, December 4th when they played the Boston Celtics and won, 122-112.
Author Mark Montieth takes us back in time as he researched the Indiana Pacers from before they were a part of the NBA in Reborn. Montieth shares the social issues that influenced the careers of the players and the wild and carefree nature of professional basketball in a basketball-crazed state in the 1960s. During this time, fights breaking out were a norm and players packing guns in their carry-on luggage for road trips was permissible, sometimes fans would even run onto the court and attack a referee after a game. The newspapers heavily promoted the team to help them stay alive. The book is filled with photos that will help you glimpse the team of the past; some have never been seen in public before.
