Really Reggie Miller?

[blizz]

When Durant scored on a break in the third on a finger roll he said "somewhere in this building George Gervin is smiling". Is he aware that GG played for the Spurs? Is that the best TNT could come up with? Reggie Miller? C'mon man!

[Obstructed_View]

About 15th on his list of stupid things, and give the guy credit, at least he doesn't add new words to the English language like he did a few years ago.

[Buddy Holly]

I'm sure if Leonard did a finger roll Reggie would question whether or not the finger roll had been tested up to that point.

I know he didn't add it but he did say "sticktoitiveness"

:lmao :rollin :lol

[Jimcs50]

I thought is was a nice touch referencing one of our heros, directly to Spurs' fans, many lot of which never watched Ice play a game.

Stop being so negative and take it as what is was.

I'd rather have hubie brown or Jeff van gundy

They are good too, but not me.

[TJastal]

I like Miller as well, and he was giving props to a spurs legend. I fail to see the point of the OP.

[bulakenyo]

I understood what he wanted to say.

I remember one of Durant's NBA nicknames before "Durantula" stuck, was "baby ice", because he was so smooth offensively and a good scoring touch, makes scoring look easy when he's on, and is a lankier, bigger, yet very mobile, big for his position type of player, like George Gervin.

I counted 3 steps there, but whatever..

[quanzinelli]

instead of Durantula it should be DurantChula as in little Girl ( little pink spiders with a bow perhaps?)

[Whisky Dog]

He should have been commenting on how Durant took 3 long steps on that layup. When the traveling is that obvious it should always be called, unless a human is 12 feet tall he won't be able to go the distance from just past half court to the rim in 2 steps.

I don't mind the statement but I don't believe Ice was smiling. He was probably thinking "mutha fucker just traveled"

[TwoHandJam]

I would give my left nut to have Walton call one of our games. Some guys just don't get his hyperbole but I think it's awesome. When he was calling game 6 as we took down the 3peat Lakers I was laughing my ass off.

"You've got Medvedenko gaurding Duncan? Get him the ball - immediately!" :lol

When he was sometimes paired with Fred "Snapper" Jones as the straight man, it was classic. Fred was so clueless I'm not even sure he knew he was the straight man.

I love Walton too. I miss that hippie.

I saw him do SAC regular season game broadcasts a few months back.

Not sure if he did it full time.

[Leetonidas]

Man, Walton calling the games would be sex on the ears. I would kill to hear some of this

[wut]

I'd rather have hubie brown or Jeff van gundy
eh, I dunno....having to listen to Van Gundy say 'oh that's not a foul' about 10 times in a game gets annoying. I like Van Gundy but he cringes when he has to say nice things about the Spurs.

no joke and I swear it was like 4 steps...Reggie is a flat our liar if he thinks that was a legit two steps.

[Leetonidas]

I counted 3, it was definitely, DEFINITELY, a travel. From where he caught the ball there's no way he could've gotten to the hoop with two steps, Miller is an idiot

It was maybe 3 steps. Stars get 3 steps, Lebron often gets 4.

[silverblackfan]

Like Gervin, Durant is an offensive force and very smooth. It was a reference to one of the Spurs greats for the home team. Reggie has gotten a lot better this year. He used to be quiet and not interesting. I always thought his sister did a better job.
That said, I would take Hubie over Reggie any time.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I normally do a lot of eye rolling when Reggie and his older brother work a game.

The point is why the hell would Gervin be happy about an opposing player scoring on his Spurs?

[Obstructed_View]

I actually wonder if someone mentioning George Gervin when they see Durant make that layup actually saw Gervin play.

[tesseractive]

"Throw it down, big man! Throw it down!"

[Reck]

Exactly.

[MannyIsGod]

I think the team with Breem and Van Gundy is the best. Reggie is just flat out awful. I don't mind Kerr but Reggie, man he sucks.

[Obstructed_View]

"Throw it down, big man! Throw it down!"

My favorite is when Samaki Walker fumbled a pass that hit him in the hands: "Awwww, where would ya LIKE it, Samaki?"

[Jimcs50]

Durrant is closest player as far as reminding me of Ice. Durrant's easy going demeanor (yet killer instinct), his slight body, his smooth shooting form and his finger rolling all take me back to the days of Ice.

Someone gets it.

[SenorSpur]

I've gotten so used to ignoring Reggie Miller's dumb-ass comments, that this one actually got by me.

I wasn't intending to be argumentative, but I remember seeing Ice finger roll from like ten feet from the rim. I also remember seeing him flip it up over shot blockers as they jumped. Nobody does that anymore, that's all I was trying to say.

Speaking of, someone's going to revive the finger roll and the sky hook and lead the league in scoring for ten years.

[Spurs Brazil]

Miller is awful. And that was a travel

[SpursRock20]

Hubie Brown? The guy seems to over elaborate on everything. He never seems to shut up and he seems to cater to a person watching his/her first basketball game, but yeah Miller's comment was totally off. Number 1, it was certainly 3 steps, and number 2, Gervin is an ex-Spur, I am sure he was not smiling.

[LakerLanny]

I agree, what a stupid statement that was.

Durant took 3 1/2 steps on that play also....nice officiating.
