In the NBA Finals, one team is part of a legacy that this Detroit legend helped to build
When the Indiana Pacers host the Oklahoma City Thunder June 11 in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, with the series tied, the Pacers will be continuing their quest to capture the franchise's first NBA championship. While it is true the Pacers have never possessed the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy — awarded to the team that wins the NBA Finals — three special banners hanging from the rafters at the Pacers' Gainbridge Fieldhouse reveal that the franchise already knows more than a little something about winning titles. Those banners celebrate American Basketball Association (ABA) championships won by the Pacers in 1970, 1972 and 1973 before the ABA merged with the NBA in 1976. And a driving force on the court for each of those teams was the late, great Mel Daniels, a Detroit native and the pride of Pershing High School, who was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. in 2012 and died in 2015. 'Mel Daniels was the ABA's Bill Russell — a great team player,' said former Detroit Pistons player and head coach Ray Scott, who was able to compare Daniels to the great Boston Celtics center because Scott played against Russell during Scott's NBA career and later against Daniels, when Scott ended his career as a player in the ABA as a member of the Virginia Squires from 1970-1972. 'Those Indiana teams really were loaded with great players like (2013 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee) Roger Brown and Freddie Lewis, and then later with (2017 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee) George McGinnis, who looked like Charles Atlas in a basketball uniform playing alongside Mel to go with all the shooting they had. 'Those teams were exceptional because they looked like an NBA team and Mel gave them that certified big man during a big man's era. If they had all the other players with a 6-6 or 6-7 guy in the middle, they wouldn't have been the same team, but Mel excelled at the center position and there's no doubt that the Pacers could have contended for an NBA championship if the franchise had entered the NBA a few years earlier.' Daniels' excellence in the ABA covered eight seasons, beginning with the 1967-68 season. At six-foot-nine-inches tall, Daniels, known as a relentless rebounder and an efficient scorer, was a seven-time ABA All Star and was named to the All-ABA First Team four consecutive times beginning in 1968. Daniels often saved some of his best performances for the biggest games, which included being the ABA's postseason leader in rebounds during two of the Pacers' three championship runs. However, a trip back in time to trace Daniels' early basketball journey in Detroit, reveals that he was anything but an overnight sensation in the sport. For example, in the March 10, 1963 Detroit Free Press, Daniels, as a senior who played a partial season for the Pershing Doughboys due to being a January graduate, does not appear on the first, second or third team All-Detroit basketball squads. The same was true in 1962 when Daniels was able to play his entire junior season, with the only difference being that he was an honorable mention selection that year. Nonetheless, from humble beginnings, Daniels would begin to make a name for himself at a destination more that 1,500 miles away from Detroit on the campus of the University of New Mexico, where he had a standout collegiate career from 1964 through 1967, which set the stage for his entry into professional basketball. "Mel Daniels' picture could be in the dictionary next to the word improvement," said Scott, who upon arriving in Detroit in 1961 as the Pistons fourth overall pick in NBA Draft discovered a highly competitive basketball scene at all levels that rivaled what he was accustomed to in his hometown of Philadelphia. 'He was the type of person that you want to hold up as an example because he worked and worked and worked to become one of the best players in the game.' On the afternoon of June 10, Ann Connally, the president of the Pershing High School Alumni Association and a friend of Daniels' younger sister, Wanda Daniels, provided insight that helped to explain how Mel Daniels transformed himself into a star basketball player. And Connally's analysis had nothing to do with basketball and everything to do with school and neighborhood pride. 'There is a pride and a belief in the Doughboy mystique that started a long time ago,' said Connally, a 1969 Pershing graduate who also worked in the school office for 30 years and continues to pore over the school's history with help from materials left behind by two Pershing legends — coach Will Robinson, who spent extra time molding Daniels while coaching the Pershing basketball team, and historian Orlin Jones. 'Conant Gardens was one of the first areas in the city where Black people were able to buy and build homes and that was passed down from generation to generation, which let people know that where they lived was hallowed ground. People knew that if you put in the work, you can be successful, and not just our athletes, because we have successful people representing all walks of life.' Connally says the Doughboy pride and mystique she spoke of will be represented across generations in a few weeks at the 2025 Pershing High School Alumni Picnic, which is scheduled for July 27 at Belle Isle. Stories about the many successful people that have come out of the historic high school at 18875 Ryan Road, off 7 Mile, will no doubt fill the air, but Connally revealed that there is also a now world famous greeting that will be heard often because Doughboys think of it as their own. More: Tina Castleberry, owner of The Garden Bug, empowers Detroiters one yard at a time 'There is a rumor, and I think it's true, that the term 'Whatupdoe!' was started at Pershing,' explained Connally, with a tone of authority in her voice that could not be denied. ''What Up Dough' is something our athletes — our football players — used to say to each other and then the term got shortened over time. It's definitely something we have fun talking about among ourselves when we get together. Last year, we had a young man from the Class of 1996 come all the way from Dubai for the picnic. No matter what our graduates go on to do in life, they love to come home and come together."

Commanders' Jayden Daniels Named 'Dark Horse' MVP Candidate
Commanders' Jayden Daniels Named 'Dark Horse' MVP Candidate originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Washington Commanders' quarterback Jayden Daniels is already seen as one of the top players in the conference after a superb rookie season. Advertisement Jayden led the team to a 12-win season, two playoff wins, and an NFC Championship game in his first year, and he also won Offensive Rookie of the Year. Now, as we turn to 2025, the Commanders, after trading for Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil, have pushed all their chips into the middle of the Super Bowl table. Of course, Daniels will be central to any success Washington has in 2025, and for Judy Battista, she's named Jayden as a dark horse for the MVP award. "He might not even be that much of a dark horse," Battista writes. "Daniels got a handful of fourth- and fifth-place votes last season, in which he was named the Offensive Rookie of the Year. With an improved offensive line, the addition of Deebo Samuel and a year of NFL experience under his belt, Daniels is positioned to ascend to the top tier of quarterbacks. If he does, and if the Commanders make another playoff push, Daniels will get plenty of attention." Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (5).Eric Hartline-Imagn Images It is no secret that if the Commanders have a good season, Daniels will be the reason why. Advertisement Granted, we know that success from one year to another isn't the same, and Houston Texans star C.J. Stroud is proof of that, but Daniels does have a good supporting cast around him, with most of last year's players returning. But as far as MVP talk, when going up against Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow, it seems like a tall order. However, after his exploits in his rookie season, Daniels might be able to prove he deserves to be in the same conversation as those mentioned above. Would Daniels really be a dark horse for MVP? For some, he might have a legitimate shot.

Jayden Daniels Receives Noteworthy Spot in Recent Quarterback Rankings
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Every year, the NFL sees a new batch of young quarterbacks come in and take the league by storm. Last season, the main player to do so was Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders. After being selected No. 2 overall in the 2024 draft, he quickly showed that he's going to be a force for years to come. Daniels ended up taking home the Offensive Rookie of the Year award following a strong first season with the Commanders. He was extremely efficient for a first-year quarterback, racking up 25 touchdowns to just nine interceptions while also throwing for over 3,500 yards. Led by one of the NFL's bright young quarterbacks, Daniels managed to lead Washington to 12 wins in the regular season. This was good enough to sneak into the postseason, where they nearly pulled off a Cinderella run. Despite entering as the No. 6 seed in the NFC, they managed to make it all the way to the conference championship. Washington's luck would run out there, as they would be sent home by Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles. Jayden Daniels #5 of the Washington Commanders smiles after an NFL football wild card playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium on January 12, 2025 in Tampa, Florida. Jayden Daniels #5 of the Washington Commanders smiles after an NFL football wild card playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium on January 12, 2025 in Tampa, into his second season in the pros, many are high on Daniels as he looks to stay on the path toward stardom. Among his biggest supporters is former NFL QB Chris Simms. Before every season, Simms puts out a ranking of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. Coming off his impressive rookie season, Daniels finds himself near the top of the list. Simmons placed the Commanders' emerging star at No. 5, trailing only Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson. Among the players Daniels is just ahead of includes Matthew Stafford, Justin Herbert, and Jalen Hurts. "You talk about efficiency in the pass game, not turning the ball over, and you couple that with 900 yards rushing on top of that? The sky is the limit," Simms said of Daniels. Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts, 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels, and Matthew Stafford headline first batch of top ten rankings of @CSimmsQB's Quarterback Countdown, now on Chris Simms Unbuttoned and Pro Football Talk More: — NBC Sports PR (@NBCSportsPR) June 9, 2025 After shattering expectations in year one, the bar is going to be set high for Daniels in 2025. His placement on Simms' rankings is a testament to that, as many are already crowning him a top-five player at his position. Luckily for him, the Commanders were busy this offseason helping bolster the cast of talent around him. Back in March, Washington pulled off a blockbuster deal to bring in Deebo Samuel from the San Francisco 49ers. Between him and Terry McLaurin (when he returns from his holdout), Daniels has a pair of dynamic receivers at his disposal now. Still with a few months until the regular season gets underway, only time will tell if Daniels lives up to his spot on this list.
