In sports, a person who judges a player by his per-game stats without accounting for his team's pace of play. (A Pacist gives preferential treatment to players on teams that play at a faster pace because of the higher per-game stats produced.)
Jason King demonstrated that he is a Pacist when he did not name Mike Scott in his list of nominees for the John Wooden award despite Scott's impressive impact on a per-possession basis.

1: A(n) (often unconscious) belief that pace is a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that pacial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular pace.

2: A belief that a hurried pace is superior to that of a slower pace

3: An obnoxious impatience with slow pace. Type A personalities often exhibit this impatience and oppress those of slower pace.
In a coffee shop one notices the pacist telling a barista who is preparing a caffeinated beverage to order, "Hurry up! I have a meeting!!!" The pacist acts as if their own timing and agendas are not only superior to that of the slower pace people but that the slower pace of others is inherently annoying or cause for oppression. Pacism is the underlying factor in impatience with others' slower pace.

Indiana Pacers 

The Indiana Pacers are one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference of the NBA, and a championship title isn't too far off. The Pacers also have the most loyal fans in the league... not to mention probably the most polite fans (Indiana fans know better than to throw beer on players or call arenas making bomb threats...)
The Indiana Pacers just kicked the Detroit Pistons' ass.
