On this edition of the Pacers Sound Table, Rik Smits joins Pacers.com's Mark Montieth to talk about how he went from a shy second overall pick to the Pacers' second leading scorer in franchise history. Smits was a member of all five of the teams that made it to the Eastern Conference Finals in the 1990s, including the 1999-2000 team that finally broke through for the team's first NBA Finals appearance. Smits -- as well as several the 1990s Pacers stars -- will be in attendance during Saturday night's Decade Game, when the franchise will honor one of the most successful eras of Pacers basketball.
