The 10 Greatest Pacers in NBA History: Where Does Haliburton Rank?

Alex Golden is joined by Tyler Smith of Indy Sports Legends and Pacers on SI for a trip through Indiana Pacers history as the guys attempt to answer a difficult question: Who are the 10 greatest Pacers of the NBA era?

Alex and Tyler build their Top 10 lists and debate how to weigh longevity, individual accomplishments, playoff success, peak performance and overall impact on the franchise.

One of the biggest debates centers around Tyrese Haliburton. After helping lead Indiana to an NBA Finals appearance, has Haliburton already done enough to surpass some of the franchise's longest-tenured stars? Where does he belong among the greatest players to ever wear a Pacers uniform?

Then there's Pascal Siakam. His Pacers tenure has been much shorter, but his impact on the franchise has been undeniable. Has he accomplished enough in Indiana to crack the Top 10, or does longevity keep him on the outside looking in?

To close out the show, Alex and Tyler reveal their Honorable Mentions, highlighting the players who just missed the cut and debating which names were the toughest to leave outside the Top 10.

A fun historical exercise filled with debates, difficult decisions and plenty of appreciation for some of the greatest players to ever wear the Blue and Gold.
