Happy Thursday! How about the Pacers? The Pacers are up 2-1 after taking game three in Indiana. Reminder, the Pacers could become the biggest underdogs since the 2004 Pistons to win an NBA title.

TODAY’S TRIVIA: The Thunder and Pacers final represents the newest brand of basketball that moves away from the “Big 3” era.

While OKC has the MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Indiana has All-Star Tyrese Haliburton, the brand of basketball is more reliant on depth and positionless basketball instead of the “Big 3” era, which featured 3 bigger stars and a handful of castaway veterans.

Neither team has a player drafted first overall in the NBA Draft.

Who was the highest drafted player in this series?
