Family, friends, teammates, and fans gathered at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in downtown Indianapolis Thursday afternoon to say celebrate the life of Mel Daniels. The three-time ABA champion and Hall of Famer passed away nearly one week ago.
To honor Daniels, the Pacers will wear a patch on their home jerseys for the rest of the season.
Hundreds turned out for the public memorial service, which was special and touching. The Pacers deserve a lot of credit for hosting the event and all the minor details that made it truly memorable.
Videos from the speakers are below. Enjoy.
