Yeah, I'm from Indy. That was a great Era for Pacers basketball. I loved watching the Knick/Pacers series and the involvement of the fans. You can see from this year that Spike Lee wasn't nearly as involved this year as he was in that Era, even though he tried to be.
Derrik is going to be really good. You heard Rik in that interview say that Derrik is better now than he was back then.
Derrik also played with Dan Dakich's son, Andrew, who is headed to Michigan.
