Reacting to Kelly Oubre Jr.’s Interview + Pacers Media Day Questions

Alex Golden and Mike Facci are back for a fun Sunday edition of Setting The Pace, and there's plenty to discuss with Pacers Media Day officially upon us!

But first, the guys react to Kelly Oubre Jr.'s first extended interview since joining the Indiana Pacers.

Oubre opened up about his decision to come to Indiana, why the opportunity to play alongside Tyrese Haliburton was so appealing and what he believes he can bring to a Pacers team looking to get back into championship contention.

Alex and Facci discuss Oubre's comments about his three seasons in Philadelphia, what that chapter of his career meant to him and why Indiana could be the perfect next stop for the veteran wing.

Then comes one of the coolest moments from the interview.

Oubre shared his connection to Reggie Miller and revealed that he actually cried watching Miller play his final NBA game. The guys react to Oubre's appreciation for the Pacers legend and what they're learning about Indiana's newest addition before he even takes the floor in a Pacers uniform.

Then, it's time to turn the page to PACERS MEDIA DAY!

Alex will be in the building alongside the rest of the media asking questions, so Alex and Facci go through some of the biggest things they want answered before training camp begins.

What will the Pacers say about integrating Ivica Zubac alongside Haliburton and Pascal Siakam? What is Rick Carlisle's message to a team going from 19 wins to championship expectations? Will Indiana be cautious with Haliburton's workload throughout the regular season? And how will players entering contract years approach the season without new deals in place?

Alex shares some of the questions he hopes to ask and Facci weighs in on what answers he's most interested in hearing as the Pacers officially begin a new season.

Plus, there's a little football talk sprinkled in at the beginning and end of the show for good measure.

Oubre's first comments. Haliburton's influence. A Reggie Miller story we weren't expecting. And the biggest questions heading into Pacers Media Day.
