I think back then, during the era of the Big Three of the Heat and , only the Pacers and the Pacers in the entire Eastern Conference could compete with them. Unfortunately, in that era of James and James, the Pacers fell at the feet of the Heat one after another. In the end, the Five Tigers fell apart. , each looking for a way out. Today, we will take a look at their current situation.
No. 1, Paul George
Among the Pacers' starting five, they are still competing in NBA, and the one who has developed the best is Paul George. At the beginning, in the Pacers, George was the core and had a big heart. Now in the Clippers, he is still the core, but the team has been losing troops in the playoffs, and George himself has also suffered from injuries. , Therefore, the Clippers have successively failed in their attempts to win the championship in recent years. Fortunately, George is 32 years old this year and still has several years of fighting left, so he will still have the opportunity to win a championship in the future.
Second place, David West
David West was just 30 years old when he joined the Pacers. This age should have been the time to make achievements. However, in those years, the five tigers were suppressed by the three giants of and Heat So damn. When I thought that after leaving the Pacers, West, who had entered the end of his career, would have no more troubles, he followed the Warriors to win two championships. After the 2017/2018 season, West became successful. Retire, announce retirement. Currently, West is the only one among the Five who has a championship ring.
Third place, George Hill
After leaving the Pacers, George Hill's development was extremely unsatisfactory. After moving to many teams such as Jazz , Kings, Cavaliers and Bucks , George -Hill is gradually lost in the league. In August 2021, George Hill was waived by the 76ers and became a free agent again. Later, his old club Bucks gave him the opportunity to sign him with a 2 million veteran contract. Currently, George Hill is a relatively marginal figure in the Bucks team.
fourth place, Roy Hibbert
This is a typical center that was eliminated in the small ball era. At that time, although the Heat had the Big Three, they lacked height inside. As an inside defensive guard, Hibbert let That Heat team suffered a lot. Unfortunately, when the small ball era came, Hibbert had difficulty adapting and was quickly eliminated. In 2018, Hibbert sadly retired at the age of 31.
No. 5, Lance Stephenson
is a name familiar to Liaoning fans. When his career went downhill, Lance Stephenson chose to join CBA and play for the Liaoning men's basketball team. In fact, Stephenson performed well in the CBA, scoring 41 points in a single game. However, in June 2020, the Liaoning team replaced Stephenson with Mayo, and the latter's CBA career came to an end. Last season, Stephenson received 10-day hardship special contracts with the Hawks and Pacers. In the end, his old club, the Pacers, gave him face and extended the 10-day short contract until the end of the season.
