Chris Mullin was another Run TMC member that played for the Pacers

Chris Mullin, another third of the Run TMC crew, would help the Pacers ring in the new millennium in his final season of three with the team.

A career-long Warrior, Mullin was traded after his 12th year of service in Golden State and carved out a role with the Larry Bird-led Pacers. He would play and start the full 82-game slate in 1998. The Pacers went 58-24, losing to the Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The following season, the team would again fall short in the Eastern Conference Finals, this time to the New York Knicks. Mullin took a step back in minutes this year and appeared in 50 games which was at that point the third-lowest in his career.

In his final year with the team, Mullin’s role was reduced to just 47 games and two starts, with Mullin appearing in only 12.4 minutes per game. The Pacers would finally make it to the NBA Finals this year, this time losing in six games to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Mullin was waived following this season and closed out his career by signing where he started it, appearing in just 20 games and starting in eight.

Mullin looked nothing like the star he was known as throughout his career in his final days with the Pacers, and for this reason, he’s often forgotten as a member of Pacers history.
