The Indiana Pacers are celebrating the teams of the 1970s tonight as they host the Portland Trail Blazers, but that is merely the main event in a long day of basketball for the Hoosier State.
Even to an outsider, it is apparent that the state of Indiana is crazy about basketball, and that’s why they’re having their first Basketball Day.
How crazy?
It says something about Indiana when the Pacers wear a jersey based on a fictional high school (which was based on Milan) and it becomes a runaway best seller in the team shop.
