notice it is miller that is being effective in the playoffs and not jackson
It's not my opinion...it's all fact. Reggie quite simply is the man you want in the late seconds of the game to hit that bucket. While Jordan was good at it, Reggie was nails. He PUT this team into the playoffs this year. They could've easily did a '97 Spurs and tanked and went into the lottery, but he wouldn't allow that to happen. He took charge of the team and got them where they are right now. That is a "Superstar". The ability to rise up when needed and deliver and he's done that.

He has a sore knee at the moment (jackson) But he scored 10 pts, 7 reb, and 6 assists.
The Spurs tanking is your opinion...not fact. Miller still being an effective scorer is a fact.
It's not a fact, pooh. If it was a fact, it couldn't be refuted -- there would be no argument about this. The fact that several people disagree with your assessment and can point to objective data to support their contrary view proves that it's only your opinion.
And mikey's right -- point me to some solid proof that the Spurs tanked the 1997 season. Show me a news story or something like it that says that David Robinson, with his broken foot, could have played in March or April of that season. Show me some evidence that the Spurs held out Sean Elliott in March and April of that season just to make sure things went bad (by the way -- I'll save you by assuring you that you can't -- Sean's injuries in 1997 were bad enough that he wasn't even healthy (with the same ailment) when the 1998 playoffs rolled around). You're just speculating (you surmise from the record and a lucky lottery bounce -- had the Spurs ended up with pick 2 or 3 or 4, there would be no "tanking" talk)
Reggie Miller is a good scorer, which is the strongest argument anyone can make for him. However if you consider that he's played 50 percent longer than the guys he's passing on the scoring list, you realize he isn't a great scorer. I agree that the dude is amazing to watch in a close game, and that little step fake he made the other night still makes me laugh. I think the dude is a hall of famer, but he isn't a superstar to anyone but Indiana fans.
pooh, jordan has 6 rings, reggie has none. you are a freaking idiot for making that statement.
I have a question, pooh -- if Reggie's 33 points earlier in the series was evidence that he's a superstar, isn't the fact that he's shot 7-29 (24%) in Indiana's 3 losses so far evidence that he isn't?
It seems to me that you have to consider both and the truth lies somewhere between 33 points and 24%, making that truth something like "good player, but not a superstar."
If Reggie Miller literally put the team on his back I'd certainly be very impressed.
you guys are so CRAZY it disturbs me. this is REGGIE MILLER we are talking about. of course he is a hall of famer. of course he has a superstar career. i mean he was scoring 25 a game off juimpshots. you know it was coming but you coulsn't do anythin about it. i even think he had a greater impact on the game than dominique. i can imagine the NBA without nique, but i cant see it without miller. classic MSG showdowns. "the choke" to e lee. he was skinnier than me and he was killin cats. come one. show him some respect. we dont know what we will be missing until he is gone. i already feel sick in my stomach. its the same way i felt watchin jordan in his last all star game. i hope the pacers kill boston for antoine talkin trash against reggie.
...And that they did.i hope the pacers kill boston for antoine talkin trash against reggie.
Incorrect. Reggie has never averaged that many points in a season, even in his best years.
Neither was able or willing to defend. Both were pretty average playmakers at best. They both could score points with ease, but the difference is that you could throw the ball to Dominique and he'd get you a bucket. Reggie could never create for himself. He always needed help to get his shots. That's one of the reasons why the Pacers didn't win a le. They didn't have enough creators. Dominique would create opportunities. Reggie couldn't do it without having the coaching staff tailor the entire offense to him. The Pacers had to run an offense that probably wasn't the best one to use in the playoffs, but it had to be done to get Reggie his shots.you know it was coming but you coulsn't do anythin about it. i even think he had a greater impact on the game than dominique.
That's not saying that Reggie sucked. It's just that he wouldn't have been successful without forcing the team to run the only offense that could utilize his strengths.
I can imagine the NBA without Miller and Dominique. But they both were fun to watch and they both had good careers.i can imagine the NBA without nique, but i cant see it without miller.
I'm failing to see how his e Lee antics and skinny body makes him a superstar or hall of famer. Please explain."the choke" to e lee. he was skinnier than me and he was killin cats. come one.
People aren't disrespecting him. They are just saying that his career was similar to the careers of Mitch Richmond and Dominique Wilkins. That isn't a bad thing.show him some respect. we dont know what we will be missing until he is gone.
I like Reggie, and I'm glad we'll get to see him play another series. But don't let your man love cloud your judgement. Bring some facts.i already feel sick in my stomach. its the same way i felt watchin jordan in his last all star game. i hope the pacers kill boston for antoine talkin trash against reggie.
