    Lowkey, this is one of the most unfortunate franchises in the NBA since the year 2000, yet nobody refers to them as being cursed.

      Greg Oden was not going to be much in the league despite his talent, because he was injury prone in college. Sad, but true... Brandon Roy was the real tragedy because that dude had talent oozing from his pores.

And they are overlooked and he wanted to make a video about them, it doesn’t mean another team wasn’t more worthy of the video. And Phoenix wasn’t unlucky, like ever.

    What you forget about Danny Granger - he had bad knees coming out of college and everyone knew it. That's the only reason he fell to 17. It was a similar situation to Brandon Roy - highly talented, but with bad knees, drafted later than he might normally go because people were concerned about how long the knees would hold up.

    1.) Lost in the Finals because they just happen to finally make it when the next Dynasty is there to beat them.
    2.) They were able to quickly make a new squad that became a contender in the east, just for it to be stripped away due to several people not being able to hold there temper. They couldn’t get Reggie a ring because of this, and they lost many stars.
    3.) after that they get lucky enough to draft a franchise player, only to have his knees stop working when he hits his prime.
    4.) but wait, they get lucky enough to draft another franchise player. They have a really good team. Only to always run into the next dynasty of the NBA every year. Then the franchise player suffers a horrific leg injury during the offseason. Missed a whole season.
    5.) The franchise player wants out, letting the whole league know he won’t resign after the end of the season, squashing his trade value. Somehow, they get lucky enough to actually trade him for there next franchise player, only for him to also suffer a serious injury.
    5.) Now the cycle will continue over again.

      @Channel Channel I would argue that Magic ownership is as bad as the Knicks but in a different way. I lived in Orlando during the Shaq-Penny craze, and the town was jumping. I think Dom covered it, but the Magic seriously blew it with Shaq, because they thought they could somehow lowball him, never mind Shaq was one of the top five players in the league at the time. Never mind the Orlando Sentinel releasing that dumb ass poll about him, which was the final nail in the coffin. Shaq wasn't blameless in that situation, either, but I place the majority of it on the DeVos family.
      Through the years, they are always trying to land players for more their morals than their talent, and that never works out either. Ownership was a little too worried about their self-image (with the ownership family being devout Christians and all that), than actually building a team that can compete. That's why the Magic get relegated to the lottery year after year, and nothing ever comes of the picks they make.

    Like the vid, I’d say they’re rather fortunate outside of injuries of course. They’ve been in the playoffs most of these years, have like 4 or 5 ECF appearances and have had a star wing player almost every year of this millennium. The injuries are unfortunate tho, hopefully Oladipo can recover.

    Bro as a pacers fan y’all don’t even fuckin know. Pacers are literally waking mediocrity. Lose in the first round, lose in the first round, lose in the first round, lose your star, lose in the first round, star gets injured, most likely lose in the first round. Also losing in east finals to lebron like 35 times in a row

    eh idk, I think this video is a bit of a stretch. I mean, the Pacers have had some bad luck in the past 20 years, but for the most part they've remained a relevant team. Even during the times when it most seemed like they would have to start rebuilding, they were always able to turn their fortune around relatively quickly. Finding ways to acquire multiple different diamonds in the rough between Granger, PG, Oladipo, and even guys like Lance Stephenson. Even this season they've managed to maintain the 3rd seed in a conference that holds strong, title contending teams such as the Raptors, Bucks, 76ers, and Celtics, even without Oladipo.
    Edit: to clarify, I understand that Dom is saying that the Pacers are an unlucky team, not a bad team. And I understand that there is depression in getting close every year and still coming up short. But to those points I would say the Pacers have managed to avoid the rebuilding process even when it most seemed like the end was nearing. Especially when you consider than nobody expected the players that helped them avoid the rebuilding process to amount to anything. Further more I personally would much rather be a fan of a team that consistently makes the playoffs, and consistently gives the best teams in the league trouble in the playoffs than a fan of a team like the Knicks. Sure, it may suck to think every year that "this is finally gonna be our year" just to fall short in the conference finals or the finals. But it would be even worse to suck so bad that your only form of hope is draft picks, and even that doesn't work because your front office is so incompetent that they manage to throw any drafting success away before it ever amounts to any wins.

      That just makes it worse though. Every time the pacers have hope, something squashes it, and while they are never a bad team, they are never contenders

    • @JG124_
      @JG124_ 5 лет назад +2

      @@LloydMcD I mean, not really. I wouldn't say they're never contenders. I would just say they happen to run into teams slightly better than them. I mean they did take Miami to 7 games when they had Lebron. If they weren't contenders, they wouldn't have been able to do that. Personally I would much rather be a fan of a team that consistently gives some of the best teams in the league trouble in the playoffs then a team like the Hornets.

    • @LloydMcD
      @LloydMcD 5 лет назад

      You make a fair point. It definitely sucks to be a hornets fan and have your team be awful or mediocre every year. But I think there is more pain in hope. Just because the pacers challenged the heat in 2013/14 doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt when they lose. And every time the pacers have hope to build on the future, disaster strikes. Sure, it’s fun to watch the pacers push Lebron to 7, but when they constantly lose, it doesn’t really amount to much.

      I think it comes down to preference. Would be harder to be a fan of a team that makes 4 consecutive super bowls and loses each one, or a fan of a team that is always pretty bad. I think it would be worse to be a fan of the former, but that’s just me. At the end of the day, both teams have no championships

    No stars are willing to do what Lebron had to do for Cleveland for so many years anymore, or what Jordan had to do in their early years. Carry their team of decent at best role players. Respect to the two best players of all time.
