Despite not having a title to their name, the Indiana Pacers have been one of the most consistent teams in the association, qualifying for the playoffs 16 times since 2000, tied for second with the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks and only behind the San Antonio Spurs.
As a basketball state, Indianapolis is a competitive haven, never aiming to build anew by tanking. This is the reason why the Pacers have been so consistent in the past two decades despite inevitable roster changes and passing of the thrones.
