A case certainly still can be made that the Dec. 15 trade that sent Thomas Bryant from the Miami Heat to the Indiana Pacers remains a win-win proposition, even with Bryant now on to the NBA Finals.

Pacers are back in NBA Finals after 25 years. Jeremiah Johnson joins Jeremy Jenkins for a preview as they face Oklahoma City Thunder.

Ben Stiller skipped the trip to Indianapolis for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Championships, and Spike Lee was nowhere to be found during the Knicks' last game of the playoffs.

With two Eastern Conference Finals appearances in the past two seasons, the Pacers are enjoying a renaissance of sorts in the mid-2020s. Indiana might not have the biggest names scattered across its roster.
