Indiana Pacers: All-time fan favorite starting lineup
By Joe Lyon
A player who never dominated the court, but fans loved every time he entered the game.
Luis Scola’s time in Indiana is but a blip on the radar of the franchise given that he only played two seasons for the Pacers. In fact, he only played a fraction of his whole pro career in the NBA playing for nearly a decade in Argentina before coming to the NBA and then playing overseas to end his career as well. However, he certainly was loved while he was in Indy.
He averaged 9 points and 5 rebounds in two seasons for the Pacers and was an abysmal 3 point shooter during his time in Indy (22%). Yet there was something so endearing about Scola when he was on the court. We are honestly unsure why Indiana fans love Luis so much. But perhaps it was his dashing good looks?
My mom always had a thing for Luis Scola. Watching Pacers games with her while he was on the court was always uncomfortable.

In any case, Scola was a fan favorite on and off the court and is absolutely deserving of this spot in the all-time fan favorites starting lineup. But who should start at center for a franchise that has so many to choose from?
