Mine is the Indiana Pacers. Always the bridesmade, never the bride.
Heard a radio talk show discussing how Steph Curry redefined how guards play basketball by shooting a shitload of threes, drawing fouls, and being good at free throws.
Reggie Miller did it first and his high arcing almost unblockable 3pt shot was because he had to shoot over his big sis Cheryl (a Hall of Fame center btw) when he was a kid. 40% from beyond 23'9", 90% on free-throws, and much more dangerous when he got loose* even though he couldn't easily dunk a basketball towards the end of his career.
* The Pacers had plays which called for Reggie dragging the entire defense through or around multiple picks at a time when setting a pick meant standing entirely still for a about second and defenders were allowed to basically mug someone without getting called for a foul.
