Summary
"Reborn: The Pacers and the Return of Pro Basketball to Indianapolis" is the riveting story of the formation and formative years of the Indiana Pacers, who opened for business in 1967 and awakened a slumbering city. It traces the events that enabled Indianapolis to become a charter member of the American Basketball Association and reveals the diligent effort, exceptional talent and dumb luck that got the team up and running -- and winning -- in two electrifying and tumultuous seasons." -- back cover
