The Pacers are in the NBA Finals. The Fever have Caitlin Clark. In Indy, basketball is booming
INDIANOLIS — Rick Carlisle used the line after the Indiana Pacers won the Eastern Conference title earlier this month, the one that is the official motto for the state's basketball Hall of Fame and surely has been uttered for generations. 'In 49 other states, it's just basketball,' said Carlisle, the Pacers' head coach. 'But this is Indiana.' It's true: Basketball never loses importance here. But these days, the state — and Indianapolis especially — probably feels like the center of the basketball universe. Indiana is the state that lays claim to Larry Bird and Oscar Robertson. It boasts the most recent team to finish an NCAA Division I men's season undefeated in Bob Knight's 1975-76 Indiana squad. It inspired the movie 'Hoosiers,' cheered Reggie Miller for the entirety of his Hall of Fame career and now has the talk of the women's game in Caitlin Clark for the WNBA's Fever — a team that might be playing for titles in Indianapolis before too long. Oh, and the Pacers are back in the NBA Finals, too. The NBA's title round returns to Indianapolis on Wednesday night for the first time in 25 years. Game 3, Oklahoma City at Indiana, series tied at a game apiece. In 49 other states, they'll be watching. In Indiana, they'll be seeing. 'I think you're making a valid point about the Fever and Caitlin being here,' Carlisle said, when asked about the parallel between Indianapolis' two teams enjoying simultaneous success. 'Both teams are teams that are working their way up and getting better. The level of interest is high. We've always had great fans here.' He would know. He's in his third stint as a resident of the Hoosier State. He was an assistant coach, then became Pacers head coach, then left for Dallas, then came back to coach the Pacers again. He's seen good times. He's seen bad times. He's now seeing crazed times. There are 'Yes, 'Cers' signs all over the city. The Pacers' chances are the talk of the bar at the famed St. Elmo Steak House, and yes, they're big Fever fans there as well. The Fever and Pacers are both owned by Herb Simon, the 90-year-old Hall of Famer who bought the NBA team more than 40 years ago. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Simon deserves much of the credit for what's happening in Indy these days. 'As David Stern used to say, 'We're going to keep him at it until he gets it right.' And here we are,' Silver said of Simon, referring to his predecessor as NBA commissioner. "He's the longest standing owner, governor in NBA history. And I'm just so happy for him, to see the success. The cherry on top of the whipped cream is we have a WNBA All-Star game coming there this summer. And how appropriate that what is viewed as the heartland of basketball, the state of Indiana, is seeing all this success around the game.' It's Pacersmania and Caitlinmania, all at once, which means there are all sorts of things for Indy fans to be loving right now. There's a chance that Clark — who has been out with a quadriceps injury — could return to the Fever lineup on Saturday against the defending champion New York Liberty. That means it could be Pacers in a finals game Wednesday, Pacers in a finals game Friday, Clark's return against the WNBA champs on Saturday, all in one building. Clark was courtside when the Pacers beat New York to clinch the East title, and her celebration — a loud scream — went viral. She has breathed new life into the WNBA; about 16,000 people went to Fever home and away games last season, while the average for all other games not involving the Fever was about 8,500. This season's ratings have plummeted while she's been out with the leg injury; by Nielsen's numbers, nationally televised WNBA viewership is down 55% since she got hurt. 'Caitlin is amazing,' Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton, a close friend of Clark, said earlier this season. 'For me, getting to actually spend time around her, be around her, get to know her personally, she's just an amazing person and amazing player. ... I think the Fever in general, they're like rock stars. They're a big part of the growth behind that league.' A big part of Indianapolis' basketball renaissance, too. People here never forget about the game. And on Sundays in football season, the predominantly gold Pacers and Fever jerseys get traded for the blue and white of the NFL's Indianapolis Colts. The rest of the time, in good or bad, it seems basketball is always the go-to for fandom among Hoosiers. After all, in 49 other states, it's just basketball. But this is Indiana. 'Honestly, I can't wait to see how rocking and loud this place is,' Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith said when asked what he thinks Game 3 will feel like. 'It's going to be a special, special moment for sure.' NBA: /hub/NBA

"Modi at G7 a chance to reset India-Canada ties amid Khalistan tensions": Canadian podcaster Josh Udall
Ontario [Canada], June 11 (ANI): As Prime Minister Narendra Modi participates in the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Canada, from June 15 to 17, his presence signifies more than just India's growing global influence -- it presents an opportunity to reset and redefine bilateral relations between India and Canada, says Canadian political commentator and podcaster Josh Udall. Udall, who applies his expertise in behavioural research and political analysis to Canadian public discourse, sees this moment as pivotal -- not just for economic diplomacy, but also for confronting longstanding irritants in the relationship, especially the issue of Khalistani extremism. In an exclusive interview, Udall dissected the complexities and political undercurrents shaping the evolving dynamic between Ottawa and New Delhi. According to Udall, Prime Minister Modi's visit to the G7 -- where he's likely to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney -- offers Canada a critical opening to move past the chill that marked Indo-Canadian relations under Justin Trudeau. 'Mark Carney is the economic guy. He's the one you call in a crisis,' Udall noted, pointing out that Carney's chief interest is revitalising Canada's economic relationships, particularly beyond the shadow of the United States. India is now the world's fourth-largest economy. It only makes sense to pursue a strong trade partnership with them,' he said. Udall emphasised that Carney's push for economic ties is not rooted in any deep understanding of the Indo-Canadian political baggage, especially the divisive Khalistan issue. 'There's very little political will in Canada to address the Khalistani extremism that India is concerned about,' he said, underscoring the wide gap between Canadian public perception and Indian security priorities. Udall was candid about the domestic ignorance surrounding the Khalistan issue in Canada. 'Most Canadians have no idea,' he said. 'They've heard snippets on CBC or CTV, maybe remember something about Trudeau accusing India of killing a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil, but they don't understand the long and complicated history.' He added that Khalistani narratives dominate Canadian media, with little to no Hindu or Indian nationalist representation providing a counterbalance. 'It's mostly Khalistani voices getting airtime,' he observed. 'That dangerously shapes public perception.' The result, according to Udall, is a skewed understanding of India as an interfering foreign power. 'To Canadians, India is starting to feel like the new Russia -- accused of meddling in elections and domestic politics,' he said. This, he argues, makes it nearly impossible to garner domestic support for India's long-pending demand to extradite 26 fugitives linked to extremist activities. Given this context, Udall believes that the burden of advocacy rests squarely on Prime Minister Modi. 'If Modi wants movement on the Khalistan issue or extradition demands, he's going to have to tie those to economic incentives. That's the only language that might move Carney,' he said. Udall was clear-eyed about the challenge. 'Carney doesn't know the history, and he won't prioritise it unless it's linked to something he values -- namely, trade. Modi has to make that case clearly and strategically.' The situation is further complicated by Canada's domestic political landscape. 'Carney will see the protests from Sikh groups against Modi's visit, and he will dismiss them. That's his style. But unless there is pressure from voters or political consequences, don't expect him to act on India's security concerns.' One of the most significant shifts, Udall points out, is the political transition from Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh to Mark Carney's administration. He believes this creates a rare moment for recalibration. 'Trudeau's stance toward India was heavily influenced by domestic alliances, particularly with the NDP and Jagmeet Singh,' he said. 'There were alleged associations between Singh and pro-Khalistan groups, and that coloured Trudeau's approach to India.' Now, with both Trudeau and Singh out of the picture, Udall sees a clean slate. 'Carney's gesture of inviting Modi is a sign: let's forget the past and focus on mutual benefit,' he said. 'It's a soft restart -- an olive branch.' For Udall, the G7 Summit marks a watershed moment. 'What happens at this meeting will dictate the course of India-Canada relations,' he asserted. 'If Modi and Carney strike the right tone, it could initiate a slow but steady thaw.' However, Udall warns that any progress will be incremental. 'This won't be a one-meeting fix. It's going to be a long game for both leaders. Modi wants action on extremism; Carney wants trade. They'll have to negotiate those interests delicately.' He also suggests that even if the bilateral dialogue doesn't immediately yield results on extradition or security concerns, just opening consistent communication lines is a win. 'Diplomacy is momentum. If this meeting goes well, it builds trust. And from trust comes progress.' As Prime Minister Modi engages with world leaders at the G7, his interactions with Canada could mark a turning point in a relationship that has long teetered between cooperation and confrontation. Josh Udall sums it up best: 'This is a pivotal moment. Both sides need something -- India wants a crackdown on extremism; Canada wants new trade partners. If they can meet halfway, it'll be a major win for both democracies.' Whether this G7 meeting becomes a footnote or a foundation stone remains to be seen. But one thing is clear -- after years of tension, India and Canada finally have an opportunity to rebuild. (ANI)

Oklahoma City vs Indiana Pacers NBA Finals Game 2 viewership hits 18-year low
Game 2 of the 2025 NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers drew an average of 8.76 million viewers, marking the lowest viewership for a Game 2 in the Finals since 2007 — not counting the 2020 bubble season. The Thunder's 123-107 blowout win on Sunday, which evened the best-of-seven series at 1-1, failed to generate strong national interest. Viewership was down 30 percent from last year's Game 2, when the Boston Celtics faced the Dallas Mavericks, and also lagged behind the 2021 series between the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns, which was still affected by lingering COVID-19 disruptions. The last time Game 2 of the Finals had fewer viewers was in 2007, when only 8.55 million tuned in to watch the San Antonio Spurs face off against LeBron James's Cleveland Cavaliers. The only year since then with worse ratings was 2020, when the Finals were held in the Disney World bubble during the height of the pandemic. That Game 2, featuring the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat, drew just 7.54 million. Through two games, the Finals are averaging 8.84 million viewers, a drop of at least 24 percent from each of the past three Finals series. While the Thunder and Pacers feature exciting young stars and compelling narratives, the lack of big-market teams or marquee superstars has clearly impacted national interest. With the series tied and shifting back to Indianapolis, the NBA will be hoping for more competitive games — and perhaps a spike in viewership — as the Finals continue.
