Chris Mullin · The sight of the left-handed sharpshooter wearing Indiana blue and gold felt completely foreign, yet his vintage stroke remained as pure as ever in Market Square Arena. Against Cleveland in the playoff opener, Mullin torched the Cavaliers for 20 points with the same textbook jumper that made him a Warriors legend, leading the balanced attack that overwhelmed the young Cavs 92-74. What made the moment even more surreal was seeing the Hall of Famer's familiar shooting form paired with a completely bald head—the entire Pacers roster had shaved their skulls as a rallying cry for their playoff run. When he departed Golden State the previous summer, no player in franchise history had worn the Warriors jersey for more games than Mullin's 807 appearances—leaving as the franchise leader in three-pointers made, games played, and ranking in the top five in nearly every statistical category. Larry Bird's bald battalion benefited from the same deadly accuracy that defined Run-TMC's glory days, proving that pure shooters never lose their touch regardless of uniform or hairstyle. · State of Mint · State of Mint
