Reggie Miller picks the Spurs and hates on Duncan

[daslicer]

I think Reggie's dislike of the spurs stems out of jealousy of Duncan's ability to win in a small market multiple championships where he was in the same situation and failed.

[ffadicted]

I'm ok with people picking Malone over Duncan even if he didn't win a 'chip.... But McHale? Does this guy even know anything about basketball besides shooting 3s?

[Sisk]

Reggie is so annoying. I wanted to break my TV/watch the game on mute when he was commentating. He's a moron.

[Mel_13]

Reggie has a lifelong inferiority complex. Despite a long and decorated NBA career that may eventually see him inducted into the HOF, he'll always be the second best basketball player in his own family.

[OldSilentHill]

Not even McHale would take himself over Duncan.

Not even McHale's mother would take his son over Duncan.

[HarlemHeat37]

Reggie is one of the most overrated players in NBA history TBH..his legacy is inflated due to the clutch performances he had, particularly vs. the Knicks..the fact that he did it against a New York team had a huge impact in the revisionist history the media and many fans have today..everything is bigger when NY is involved, as I can attest to from living here most of my life..

Other guys that have become overrated with time, during my time as an NBA fan IMO..John Stockton, Kobe Bryant, Dennis Rodman off the top of my head..

Reggie falls into that group when it comes to inflated legacies and revisionist history..

mchale was actually a bad MF ...i wouldn't put him over duncan ...but he was NOT a scrub either

This is true. It served him well on the court, always feeling he had to prove how good he was (and that he wasn't just Cheryl's little brother), but off the court ... not so much -- he did harness it for 'clutch', though.

And he's also pretty transparent. He waxes poetic about George often, and while I appreciate the love for Georgie (as I've been an avid supporter), Reggie's praise stems from the fact that Hill is from Indiana and he had knowledge of him from his time there -- Hill's high school exploits were well-known and he might've even worked out with him, IIRC.

mchale pre-ankle injury was awesome. but duncan beats him on the defensive end.


.... and cheryl miller is a human female. she has the chit to prove it.

[Libri]

Reggie Miller looks like a Ferengi.

[Tp9gospursgo]

BTW is Reggie commenting on tonights game?

[smrattler]

Cheryl Miller is a girl????!?!

I thought it was his brother, I was calling her Terrel!

When TD came into the league, someone told me he could be the next McHale. I said if he even came close to that I'd be more than happy.

This guy dominated boards and the defensive end (see all nba defense teams) at a level McHale could not over a career.

TD >> McHale and I thought the world of McHale.

Disagree on Stockton. His steals and assists records will never be passed. And he made it to two NBA finals and played well while his more famous teammate choked.

But I agree Miller was overrated. He didn't even beat NY in that series. His stats and overall career were unremarkable.

[Kamala]

I liked Reggie as a player and is ok as an analyst. For the life of me I can't figure out why this brother doesn't fix his teeth. He's a millionaire and knows he will be on tv regularly?

[angelbelow]

Well, it is Reggie Miller and he is half re ed. So.. no, im not surprised he said this.

[cd98]

Chris Webber on the radio today:

Said Spurs should try to run with Suns because Tim isn't a great scorer anymore.

Minutes later he said Garnett and Wallace could lead the Celtics to beat Lebron's Cavs because even though they are old their compe iveness allows them to elevate their game to greatness.

Typical

Stockton was a great player and his longevity is definitely noted, but that's probably the main reason he was overrated..when a lot of today's fans look at Stockton's career numbers, they assume he was a dominant player during his prime..he was never that kind of player though..always an all-star caliber player, but his legacy is overrated due to his longevity IMO..

I still think he's a top 5 PG of all-time and I'd love him on my team, I'm just saying that his career numbers make him overrated by the way many people talk about him..

[cd98]

I understand what you're saying but I still disagree. He was averaging 14 assists in a half court offense. Steve Nash and Jason Kidd needed run and gun to get those numbers. Stockton shot over 50% from the field and a good percentage from the three point line and free throw line.

Sure he wasn't a scoring machine. He was too unselfish.

He would have won les if he didn't hit his prime in the Jordan era. And Utah gave the Bulls their toughest battle even while Malone was choking.

I'd actually say Stockton is underrated given his accomplishments in the NBA. Those numbers are not just cause he played in the NBA for a long time. It's because he had a lot of incredible seasons.

I was listening to that today and laughing out loud... Reggie doesn't know .

[peskypesky]

Reggie Miller is a bitter hater .

[peskypesky]

Reggie Miller is a jealous hater . With no rings. He can suck it.

I still don't think hes overrated. Its not like he known as a top 3 PG to ever play the game. I think he often gets ranked 4th or 5th. In that regard, I dont believe hes overrated. Besides, longevity IMO takes a certain amount of skill too. Its not like he didn't play hard or shy away from contact. He was always willing to put his body on the line but still found a way to remain healthy.

[Cane]

If someone argued with Reggie he'd probably change his mind. People forget Duncan's prime and accomplishments sometimes. Especially if you watch him nowadays.
