Can I (Side)kick it?

With today's somber passing of Ed McMahon, the ultimate sidekick, I was thinking about great sidekicks in Indiana sports.

Here is the list that I came up with:

Colts - Robert Mathis (to Dwight Freeney), Reggie Wayne (to Marvin Harrison, earlier in his career)

Pacers - Rik Smits (to Reggie Miller), Stephen Jackson (to Jamaal Tinsley), Marijuana (to David Harrison)

Indiana - Greg Graham (to Calbert Cheaney), Landon Turner (to Isiah Thomas), Tom Van Arsdale (to Dick Van Arsdale), Dick Van Arsdale (to Tom Van Arsdale)

Purdue - Cuonzo Martin (to Glenn Robinson), Billy Keller (to Rick Mount), Mustaches (to Purdue football coaching staff)

Others that were discussed on the show: Lyndon Jones (to Jay Edwards), Scottie Pippen (to Michael Jordan), Kobe Bryant (to Shaquille O'Neal), Jim Kiick (to Larry Csonka), Metal chair (to Bob Knight), John Taylor (to Jerry Rice), Roger Maris (to Mickey Mantle), Paul Bearer (to The Undertaker), Willie McCovey (to Willie Mays), Paul Shaffer (to David Letterman), Cocaine (to Doc Gooden).
