Pacers Basketball Corporation
 PROFILE
Despite the storied achievements of Hoosier basketball teams, Pacers Basketball has yet to produce an NBA championship. The Indiana Pacers franchise was awarded to businessman Mike Storen in 1967 as a charter entrant in the American Basketball Association and went on to win three titles before joining the NBA in 1976. After a dismal beginning, the Pacers turned the corner in the 1990s, making the playoffs every year except one and earning its first trip to the NBA Finals in 2000. (They lost to the Los Angeles Lakers.) Former Detroit Pistons star Isiah Thomas took over after basketball legend Larry Bird retired as head coach that year. Shopping-center magnates Melvin and Herbert Simon bought the team in 1983.
