T.J. McConnell's NBA Rise and Legacy

EXCLUSIVE: T.J. McConnell’s SHOCKING Rise from Undrafted Nobody to NBA Fan Favorite—Teammates SPEAK OUT on His 'Crazy' Work Ethic!

By Chip Slammer | Published May 12, 2025

INDIANAPOLIS— He was the kid NO TEAM wanted. Too small. Too slow. Not a 'real' point guard. But now, T.J. McConnell is the HEART AND SOUL of the Indiana Pacers—and the NBA’s most UNLIKELY superstar!

FROM WALK-ON TO GAME-CHANGER

McConnell, 32, went from being an undrafted afterthought out of Arizona to a cult hero whose hustle plays go VIRAL nightly. Teammates say his relentless energy is 'contagious'—and opponents HATE facing him!

'Man, that dude is a PEST,' an anonymous Eastern Conference guard told us. 'You think you’ve got a break, and next thing you know, he’s ripped the ball from you and is laying it in. It’s INFURIATING.'

SECRETS OF HIS SUCCESS

Sources close to the Pacers reveal McConnell’s INSANE routine:

5 AM workouts—even on game days!

Studying film until his iPad battery dies.

'The McConnell Challenge'—a brutal conditioning drill teammates REFUSE to attempt!

'TJ’s built different,' All-Star Tyrese Haliburton confessed. 'He’s got that DAWG in him. You can’t teach that.'

PLAYOFF HEROICS!

This postseason, McConnell has been Indiana’s SECRET WEAPON, torching defenses with his mid-range magic and pesky defense. Fans are dubbing him 'The Steal King' after his FOURTH consecutive game with 3 steals!

But it hasn’t been easy—McConnell once played through a torn ligament in high school because 'quitting wasn’t an option.'

WHAT’S NEXT?

With free agency looming, rumors are SWIRLING: Will McConnell cash in with a big contract, or stay loyal to Indy? One thing’s for sure—this underdog’s story is FAR from over!
