The 2004-05 Indiana Pacers team is one of the considered superteams which didn't work as expected. They had stars like Reggie Miller, Jermaine O'Neal, and Stephen Jackson. The incidence of the Indiana Pacers when hosted by the Detroit Pistons is hard to forget. The fight of Ron Artest (Metta World Peace) with the Pistons' audience took him to an entire-season suspension.

O'Neal, Jackson, and Anthony Johnson were also suspended for several games. This flushed out almost all the stars of the Pacers' roster out of the game and the Pacers then went down in the Central Division.

The Pacers team went through many tough situations, Miller got injured, and they only had the bench players to play on the floor. Despite all these, the Pacers somehow managed to record 44 wins and 38 losses at the end of the regular season and were the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Pacers went up to the Eastern Conference semi-finals where they faced the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons swept the Pacers by 4-2 and after this, Miller announced his retirement which took-off the title of a superteam from the Pacers and ended Miller's era as well.
