Description
This week on the Vigilant Sports Pacers Podcast, I’m joined by two special guests: Pacers Sports & Entertainment President Rick Fuson and Fever star Tamika Catchings.
The Pacers and the city of Indianapolis would like to host NBA All-Star Weekend, and so Fuson, along with several other city officials, traveled to the 2016 NBA All-Star game across the border in Toronto last month to take notes and see what exactly it would take to do so.
Catchings, meanwhile, has a schedule that nobody could keep track of without a calendar (and maybe even an assistant). She got married, participated in All-Star Weekend, then had USA Basketball Camp, and now is on a book tour as her autobiography hit stores on March 1.

I hope that you enjoy this week’s podcast. My thanks to DJ Bandcamp for contributing music to take the podcast to another level. I welcome your questions and comments @ScottAgness on Twitter.
Fuson begins at 2:19, Catchings at 25:39.
Topics Discussed:
* Why the Pacers are now serious about hosting NBA All-Star Weekend
* What Fuson learned during their trip to Toronto and how big of undertaking it truly is
* Bankers Life Fieldhouse hosting 54 games in 43 days
* Whether he’s pleased with Pacers ticket sales and sponsorship numbers
* Changes coming to the Fieldhouse
* Tamika on her whirlwind schedule and what her wedding was like
* Whether she wants to start a family
* How she plans to leave a legacy in her final WNBA season
