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

The portland trail blazers. When they had Brandon Roy Greg Ogden and Lamarcus Aldridge.. If Ogden and Roy weren't hit with the injury bug...

[@Rendclaw]

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.

[@king_supreme1102]

Johnnie Hamlin X that’s kinda just a few year span tho. You still had the Jail Blazers and the current team.

We got robbed I the 2001 ecf, George Karl fatass traded Ray for half a seasons of Gary Payton, Michael Redd had to carry a bumass bucks team that ultimately took a toll on his knees sometimes still scoring 50points and still losing, Brandon Jennings looked like he had potential but never seemed to workout as his body always stayed the same, seemed to have stamina problems end game, yeah we got monta but could have actually gotten curry instead, started drafting bums like Joe Alexander with the 6th overall pick, give massive contracts to bum ass players like Henson, delly, even ersan in his day in age right now is making 7mil a year overpriced, and now we're about to pay Middleton a Max contract for someone who in my opinion shouldn't have made the all-star and is an average player who lacks consistency and that'll be the end of our miraculous run this year oh yeah and had a dumbass coach I Jason Kidd who had a different lineup every game

Finally, a Pacers video. I don't care if it's negative, I'll take it.

I feel bad for the Pacers they were low-key my 04 pistons type team to upset everybody and win one for Indiana that way people can stop sleeping on Victor Oladipo aka Mr.Clutch

when you have your past 3 franchise player getting injured on a freak accident or misfortunes,that shit is unlucky. Also they lost their best assembled team on the worst brawl in nba history which cost them suspensions on that season which sucks

[@pro_bh]

and dirk fucked yall up in '06, reallllllll bad lmao

[@king_supreme1102]

Are you guys just not getting the point of this. This isn’t THE most unlucky team since 2000. It’s says ONE OF THE unluckiest teams since 2000. 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. You landed Steve Nash. 2 time MVP. Stoudamire had injury problems but that’s about it. Since then you’ve just been terrible.

[@jacksonh07]

Finally we get a video, we need a pg that everyone will remember never had one

[@shiningshores4808]

As a pacers fan, ive found a silver lining in the last 20 years. See, there have been many championships throughout NBA history, and most people couldn't tell you them all and their winner. But everyone knows about the Malice at the Palace, and we've got that honor until a bigger scuffle breaks out.

that ad transition was smooth tho!

[@flibbidyx2]

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.

[@nathaniellevesque2782]

Great video, but you really should have discussed the Pacers bad luck throughout the 90s.

[@jameelfuller493]

[@DaChairmanMoo]

Pls do a pt 2 on the wizards. Ernie is one of the worst GMs ever, and he has been in office for over 15 years. One of the most frustrating things was trading a first rounder for bojan, who left after half a season, and that pick turned into Jarrett Allen. Temporary mavs fan till he gets fired :)

[@dennischacko499]

He played 18 games and disappeared in the playoffs. Ian Mahinmi contract hooo wee just terrible. You could argue about the Otto Porter contract but I think he could have been better had he been featured more. And man all the horrible picks. JAN VESELY?!!!

[@jasonfire3434]

John Wall contract looks even worse now

[@Steelo832]

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.

[@Static714]

🔥 content

[@austinh953]

Despite all of these tragedies, Indiana has the longest home court winning streak (over 30 years), and have never drafted a player higher than 10th. We don't quit, we don't lose at home, and we do not tank. Something almost every other franchise cannot say. Go Pacers!!!

[@Fuisonpower53]

Clippers were nothing before Ivica ZuGOAT came. Truly a GOAT and MVP caliber player

[@kadeemthomas6]

[@MegaDAli95]

The background music gets me everytime

[@king_supreme1102]

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.
