From high school legends (John Wooden, Oscar Robertson, Damon Bailey, Rick Mount, Steve Alford, Glenn Robinson, George McGinnis, Junior Bridgeman, Skylar Diggins, Ruth Riley, Katie Douglas) to college stars (Isaiah Thomas, Larry Bird, Gordon Hayward, Zach Edey, Calbert Cheaney, Scott May, Kent Benson, Mike Woodson) to Indiana Pacers stars (Reggie Miller, Rik Smits, Billy Knight, Mel Daniels, Roger Brown, Paul George, Tyrese Haliburton, Jermaine O’Neal) to Indiana Fever stars (Tamika Catchings, Kelsey Mitchell, Katie Douglas, the state oozes basketball lore.

The 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend and All-Star Game return to Indianapolis for the first time since 1985, a nod to the state’s basketball history and 89-year-old Pacers owner Herb Simon, who bought the franchise in 1983.
