Greatness of Both Daniels, McGinnis Remains Underappreciated

On Saturday night, the Pacers will honor two of the greatest stars in franchise history. The commemorative bobbleheads that will be distributed to fans attending Saturday's 1970s Decade Game are of the late Hall of Famer Mel Daniels and Pacers legend George McGinnis.

It's appropriate that the two will share bobblehead honors since they also shared the load in leading the franchise to many of its greatest heights in the early and mid-1970s.

As was the case with Roger Brown – the bobblehead selection for the 1960s – many diehard Pacers fans never got the chance to see Daniels or McGinnis play.
