Three Pacers are in the Naismith Hall of Fame. Mel Daniels, Roger Brown and Slick Leonard seemed like no-brainers once the Hall opened its doors to players and coaches from the American Basketball Association. Louie Dampier, the Southport High School grad who played for the Kentucky Colonels, was inducted last month, bringing the total of Hall inductees who played the vast majority of their careers in the ABA to three.
Who's next? Anyone? At some point, obviously, the Hall will run out of viable candidates from the ABA, although there will be wide disagreement on when that occurs.
