The Pacers Post UpAuthor: Brad and Ryan Knight, Bleav
Brad and Ryan Knight, affectionately known as The Brothers of Basketball, are lifelong Indiana Pacers fans turned podcast hosts who bring heart, humor, and hoops knowledge to The Pacers Post Up, a show built entirely by fans, for fans. Brads love for the Pacers dates back to the Reggie Miller erathe legendary playoff heroics, the fierce Eastern Conference Finals battles, and the teams lone trip to the NBA Finals in 2000 are part of his basketball DNA. He still vividly remembers watching the Malice at the Palace unfold in his parents living room. That deep-rooted connection only grew over the years. Brads wife has been a Pacemate for 8 seasons, and he credits their parents investment in season tickets as a key part of the familys shared bond with the Blue and Gold. Ryan, a few years younger, missed the height of the Reggie era but became fully indoctrinated during the Paul George yearswhen the Pacers battled LeBron and the Heat year after year. A proud member of the G2 Fan Zone in the late 2010s and the worlds biggest Lance Stephenson fan, Ryan brings unapologetic energy and passion to the pod. Together, Brad and Ryan launched The Pacers Post Up as a passion project to give Pacers fans a voice in the media landscape. Their goal has always been to deliver meaningful basketball conversation in a way thats accessible, insightful, and fun. Whether diving into analytics and Xs and Os or riding high on the emotional wave of a big win, their show strikes a balance that keeps fans informed and entertained. Since launching, the brothers have followed the team from Vegas (for the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament) to Paris (for the NBA Global Games), covered the All-Star Weekend in Indy, and chronicled this new golden era of Pacers basketball with playoff runs to the Eastern Conference Finals. They bleed blue and gold and love nothing more than building community through the game thats meant so much to their lives.

Indy Shows Out… AGAIN! Hali, McAfee & What Makes This Sports City Special
Episode 420
Wednesday, 26 August, 2026
Indy showed out again. Tyrese Haliburton’s Charity Softball Classic, MC’d by Pat McAfee, brought together athletes, personalities and fans from across Indianapolis for an incredible night — and gave us another reminder of just how special this sports city really is. Brad and Ryan recap the event and discuss how fortunate Indianapolis is to have two stars like Tyrese Haliburton and Pat McAfee embracing the city and using their platforms to bring people together. But it goes beyond those two. The Pacers. Colts. Fever. Ignite. Current players. Former players. Media personalities. Fans. There’s a genuine sense of community between Indy’s teams that you simply don’t see everywhere — and events like this put it on full display. Then we get back to basketball. What does Klay Thompson heading to Miami mean for the Heat and the Eastern Conference? And finally…how good is Andrew Nembhard? Because at this point, calling him “underrated” might actually be underselling it. We dive into Nembhard’s growth, his place among the East’s guards and just how high his ceiling could be as the Pacers enter their next chapter. Indy is special. This Pacers team might be too. And basketball season can’t get here soon enough. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
