They have too many Black players, tbh..
Only place in Indiana with Black people is Gary, and those s can't afford to attend a basketball game..
Best record in the NBA and ranked 20th in attendance

why make it a racist discussion?
Indiana is arguably the most racist state in the US, tbh..
They always have ty attendance numbers, despite consistently fielding quality teams and occasionally a contender..even in the 90s when they had a bunch of White players(Smits, Croshere, Mullin, Foster) and a White-washed as their best player, they still couldn't fill the arena..
Indiana needs Kevin Love to generate interest in the NBA, tbh..
hey it could be worst. we could be talking about a 2 year extension to a players thats not playing... or being the worst team in your state...or not being Even being the best team in your own dam gym... carry on..
Son I've been saying this for quite sometime now. The Pacers have a terrible fan base and every year it's been proven statistically.
They shouldn't be considered a great "basketball state". They haven't been that in decades.
cool story bro
How so? Lakers we just beat Sacramento and have a better record. Have wins over the CLippers and Warriors. We suck especially compared to your Pacers, but check a standings every once in a while ...
So it has nothing to do with race then?
lakers are the worst team in california. dont kid yourself
I think the Nba attendance Stat is a bit biased. Basically the bigger the arena the more People can fit in thus the higher you are on the list. Its no coincidence chicago with the largest nba arena in the united center is always first place. its not a coincidence spurs were first in attendance in the alamodome days. Simply because it was a football arena. I think it should be based on pct of seats filled. Still. Indiana has some terrible attendance considering the pacers are having a historic season. Apparently 1 win away from the finals isnt enough. Dont the colts suck now? What the is going on there?
Just 2% less than at 4 time champion, 5 time Finals team and last season's WC champs Spurs.
You're only going to get a certain percentage in small markets. That's why they call them small markets. Indiana will have to have le runs a few times to get more notice.
Indiana will always be a great basketball state because of the Hoosiers and French Lick. There's no getting around it. Even if you could, George mufukin Hill would seal it.
They still haven't won over all the fans they lost after the Brawl. But it's getting better I think
Spurs only 20th in road attendance
Most of these teams and the league in general is still composed of Black players from the hood, tbh..the Malace at the Palace certainly didn't help..
Indiana loves it's college basketball, the pure, Whiter version of basketball..
It's almost like smaller cities have fewer people who go to games. And Indy isn't just a smaller city, it's a smaller city in the middle of a small metro area in the middle of *NOWHERE*. It's not like Golden State where they have neighboring towns to gain additional fans from.
Golden St. plays its games in Oakland which is hardly in the same geographic situation as Indy--they're also moving to a stadium in downtown SF...
ing truth. I wonder which is the most racist? Boston, Indiana or Utah?Indiana is arguably the most racist state in the US, tbh

That's my point?
Indy is small market and small market in the middle of nothing.
I think you also need to factor in the cities' populations imho. NY and Chicago have big populations so they have more fans attending their games despite the teams disappointing, Dallas as a city doesn't even rank top 10 on the population list but the metropolis of DFW has the 2nd largest population of this country, only behind the big NY metro. The attendance-population ratio can reflect the popularity of basketball in a city better than the absolute numbers themselves do imho, in which sense the Rockets have the tiest fan base. That city has the 3rd largest population of this nation, and a team that looks stacked and is supposed to contend, yet it only ranks 13rd on that list.
Fantastic post.
Remember the Pacers fans' reaction when their team drafted Reggie Miller instead of the overhyped local white boy ?
That was
They are equally racist
does anyone have the stat how much a sold out game makes just from ticket sales?
