GALLERY: Indiana Pacers Wiki

The early Pacers came out on the short end of two of the most one-sided trades in NBA history. In 1980, they traded Alex English to the Nuggets in order to reacquire former ABA star George McGinnis. McGinnis was long past his prime, and contributed very little during his two-year return. English, in contrast, went on to become one of the greatest scorers in NBA history. The next year, they traded a 1984 draft pick to the Portland Trail Blazers for center Tom Owens, who had played for the Pacers during their last ABA season. Owens played one year for the Pacers with little impact, and was out of the league altogether a year later. In 1983–84, the Pacers finished with the worst record in the Eastern Conference, which would have given the Pacers the second overall pick in the draft—the pick that the Blazers used to select Sam Bowie while Michael Jordan was still available. As a result of the Owens trade, they were left as bystanders in the midst of one of the deepest drafts in NBA history—including such future stars as Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Sam Perkins, Charles Barkley, and John Stockton.

The Pacers have won three championships, all in the ABA. The Pacers were Eastern Conference champions in 2000 . The team has won nine division titles. Five Hall of Fame players – Reggie Miller , Chris Mullin , Alex English , Mel Daniels , and Roger Brown – played with the Pacers for multiple seasons. [8]

The value of modern music for performers and audience. The success of any performer or music band largely depends on how interesting and professionally made videos with their participation. If the clip is properly arranged, fully emphasizing the meaning of the words and the music, this will contribute to the development of audience appropriate mood. The quality of the video will affect the audience's perception of the singer or group and promote the growth of its popularity. It should be borne in mind that only the use of professional video shooting and creating music videos by masters of their craft ensures the focus of the audience on the music, not the footage and extraneous sounds. In addition, high-quality clips are usually viewed by the audience more than once. It should be noted that shooting a music video is an art form, can transcend the level of complexity of the feature film. When creating modern movies use the latest technology and manufacturing equipment that provides a high level of quality of the finished product.
