Decades from now, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron Rodgers will be regarded as two all-time brands: the Steelers as the winners of six Super Bowls and one of the NFL’s earliest dynasties, and Rodgers as a four-time MVP and one of the five most talented quarterbacks in NFL history.

The Indiana Pacers can’t stop winning. They have to be the favorites at some point, right? Since the start of the calendar year 2025, the Pacers boast the most wins of any Eastern Conference team, yet they entered the playoffs well behind the reigning champion Celtics and Cavaliers in the conference’s pecking order.
