The Indiana Pacers will have four captains this year. Paul George will retain the C on his chest, while the team vote also bestowed the honor upon Monta Ellis, Rodney Stuckey, and newcomer Al Jefferson.
Combined, they have 38 years of NBA experience, a number which many teams would have to go six or seven players deep to match. The Philadelphia 76ers on have 34 seasons between their entire 15-man roster.
