i was a 13 year old pistons fan at this time and i balled my freakig eyes out... hell, im 25 now and damn near teared up all over again watching this just now.
I remember watching Pacer games with my Dad especially during the playoffs on TV. I started to play Basketball and wanted to be like Reggie. Though now I don't play anymore, I still believe a lot of what the Man stood for in not giving up has helped me become who I am. Thanks for the Memories #31. True class act.
Reggie deserved every ovation, every compliment, every accolade he got! I am a MJ fanatic for life but I have never seen anyone who could shoot quite like Reggie.
As a lifelong Hoosier and die hard Pacers fan it broke my heart Reggie wasn't able to get a ring. With his greatness, leadership, loyalty, work ethic, and his unwaivering class he deserved it. "Reggie Reggie Reggie!"
Reggie was wise to retire while still in great shape and still playing well, scoring 27 points. I've seen many greats hang on a little too long and then are forced into retirement when they're over the hill or injuries start plaguing them. But with Reggie he left still on top of his game or close to it. And he's a class act, never discrediting a team when he loses and shows respect when beating them. He's a rare specie. And I will always remember those killer 3s. Hitting them time and again with the game on the line.
Agreed. This was a great game for him to have gone out on. One of his best games of the season, in front of the home crowd .... Beautiful. Sad, no question about it .... but still beautiful nonetheless.
@@thomasdaniels6824 I mean, Detroit took them to 7, and Indiana on paper had a better roster. The season before, Tim was 2nd in MVP voting while JO was 3rd, Artest was the DPOTY, and Stephen Jackson was in his prime
@@woo_shynen8805 LeBron is the superstars that always needed the most help win and still was only 2-2 with the most stacked team in Miami. Reggie got 10x more guts and heart than that tinman LeBron
Reggie is my childhood idol! I remember being at the game where he hit two 3's and two Free throws in 8 second with his Indiana jeresy in Madison Square Garden! Reggie hold a special place for me, he gotten me though some hard time in my life with awesome play.. he will be miss!
barrack ocommas uh yeah. reggie knew it was the year for the pacers or pistons. to much toughness and defense for the lakers that year. with artest and oneil they were number one at the time as defenders inside and outside. i remember hearing about lebron hype and artest always dominated him.
Being from Sacramento(Folsom)we knew where all the Kings players lived. One of those players, Reggie Miller, had a full court in his back yard, and my sons would play there all the time. He is such a great guy, opening his home for the boys that really looked up to him. He made a huge impact on many kids lives.
One of the important players that defined the generation and also the franchise, despite not winning the title. I was the Bulls fan, but how he gave his heart and soul every night was legendary, especially those 3s he made to put fear into Knicks/Bulls fans.
I remember watching this very game back in the days and its an emotional moment. The recognition is well deserved. Truly one of the best to play the game.
Hubie Brown always there to carefully detail the important moments so that we can all realize just how important Miller was to his team - and the game of basketball
I was at the game. I grew up watching Reggie and he will always be my favorite player. This video still brings tears to my eyes. Simply amazing player/person. He's FOREVER a Hoosier!
Almost got tears out me man i hated him back then but hes a great guy and he gave indiana everything he had never left and was ballin out i salute that guy man hes great
Reggie, Nash, Stockton, Iverson, Barkley, Baylor, Malone, VC, Tmac, Ewing - These are the greatest players to have never won a ring but should've won at least one.
Before the 07'-08' season, Boston reached out to him to join the roster but he declined because there wasn't much time for him to get back into shape to play again.He attempted to get in shape but in the end it was just another story of how miller could've won a title
Steven Huizing reggie said he tried but i assume those ankles he had fixed he was done mentally. so when he tried to shock his body he just couldnt get it going. once u let the fire go out its over. tobad
warriors fan here, miller time is miller time and Reggie delivered most of the time. with the game on the line i'd rather have Reggie shoot the last shot than steph.... I've never seen anybody hit more shots at the end of a game.
that's competitiveness he's getting his Farewell Standing Ovation and he's more pissed off that they lost he really wanted to win and that year I think the Pacers would have won it all tough break that he's definitely a legend and the local IE guy
man, i was entering college after that summer, hard to believe this was 7 years ago already, legends never die and reggie definitely deserves a ring and to be in the HOF!
@Greg Hubbard so what? Just a few players became HOF without a ring, and reggie is one of them. Ray allen better them Reggie? I don't think so, but is your opinion i respect that.
@@patrickoriley6791 Ray was traded. And the league blackballed him for the Miliwakee/Philly series. Also how Ray conducted his contact without an agent.
As a pacers fan…this still hurts my heart. Reggie miller put his heart and soul into every game with the one goal…win a championship. They had such a talented really good team with Reggie, Artest, Jackson, O’Neal, Tinsley and Foster. If that stupid mallace at the palace didn’t happen they would have won it all and Reggie would have gotten his ring and sailed off into the sunset…and that hurts big time.
Reggie Miller. Miller Time. 31. He is the best three-point shooter the NBA has ever seen. Ray Allen and Stephen Curry may be the closest people, but Reggie was and still is the best. Despite any records or anything of that sense. Reggie is the best. The best player to wear the #31, and one of the best ever to play or be from Indiana.
Aaimah Yes we would have. Well. The Pacer fans back then would've. They hated him for the first years he got to the Pacers, after that, they loved him. It's like what happened to Dwight Howard. He was beloved all his time in Orlando, but the second he left, everybody in Orlando hated him. If Reggie would've left, he would've been the most hated player in the NBA
It’s just the culture of the league back then. There was loyalty to a team, fan base and city that isn’t there today. Today’s casual fan can’t claim a team when they only know the 1 or 2 players that the media will talk about because players are chasing the money above winning.
Shaq leaving Orlando in 1996....Charles Barkley forcing his way out of Philly in 1992...Moses Malone leaving the Rockets in 1982 to join the defending conference champs....how far back do you want me to go? Get out of here with that "culture of the league back then" BS. That's revisionist history.

This man was 39 years old playing his heart out…amazing!
This is awesome~

He was a big influence for many. A true legend
@@robinreggie31 the heart and soul of the Indiana Pacers even though I wasn't fan of him
MAN I WISH REGGIE WON A CHAMPIONSHIP HE DEFINATLY DESERVES ONE!!!!
They booed when he came and then cried when he left!!!!!
@Help Me Get 1000 Subscribers when he was drafted. Pacers fans wanted another player.
@Help Me Get 1000 Subscribers Because people wanted the Pacers to draft local product Steve Alford.
@Help Me Get 1000 Subscribers The Pacer fans wanted a player from Indiana named Steve Alford.
The goat of the pacers.
Such loyalty this man had for his pacers. Remember this day as a kid sad day indeed
Cesar Zapata so much better than pg
Even he did not win a Ring in pacers..But he give his heart and soul for this team ..He deserves such respect from the crowd...Miller Time no more❤️
Made me cry at the end bruh
Reggie! Reggie! Reggie!
27 points in your last game, not bad old boy. Thank you for all the memories, the clutch shots, and giving your all. 31!
And they were all in your prime type scores

Incredible player. I am not a Pacers fan but I will always remember him as one of my idols.
My favorite player of all time this broke my heart and had me shedding tears what a great man love you REGGIE........

If it wasnt for that damn brawl that season, Reggie had a great chance to win that ring.
they would be won it man, it's not fair arrest has to suffer that long of a suspension. oh well though.
They werent beating Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker.
Thomas Daniels Facts 💯💯💯
@@thomasdaniels6824 I mean, Detroit took them to 7, and Indiana on paper had a better roster. The season before, Tim was 2nd in MVP voting while JO was 3rd, Artest was the DPOTY, and Stephen Jackson was in his prime
Thomas Daniels you only say that because they won.. 😂🤦🏽♂️
The days when superstars never changed teams.
@Konto Testowe I believe he meant never left teams. He was a Pacer for 18 years.
@Konto Testowe smooooooth brainnnnn detected
Lebron is way better than reggie.😂
@@woo_shynen8805 lebron has nothing to do with this except the fact that Reggie was more loyal

the man, the glory, the legend... Reggie Miller
As a Indiana native. I remember this moment and crying so hard. Thank you so so much Reggie for what you did for Indy
These kind of basketball moments makes cry 😭
Reggie is my childhood idol! I remember being at the game where he hit two 3's and two Free throws in 8 second with his Indiana jeresy in Madison Square Garden! Reggie hold a special place for me, he gotten me though some hard time in my life with awesome play.. he will be miss!
Still the most beloved man in the state of Indiana. Even more than Manning.
Still gives me goosebump...
i'm a die hard pistons fan. ALWAYS will be but man I loved Reggie.
he was my favorite athlete so glad I was able to be there for his last game
Still and always will be my favorite player in the NBA!! Not Michael Jordan not Kobe Bryant not LeBron James but the one and only REGGIE MILLER
Yesssss i agree
Me too from Philippines...... Forever #31
Considering how well he was moving in this game, I think he could've played for a bit longer. Loved his play!
Harsh Ronvelia Yep Reggie Still Had Something Left In The Tank
He said that this team and the brawl changed the way he felt about the game. The younger guy's wouldn't listen to him.
I've seen a lot of iconic players in person but Reggie is one of those who I got to watch play that I wish I could have seen in person.
this was the year we were supposed to take it all until that freaking detroit brawl
Artest's presence would have made this an entirely different series. Didn't help that O'Neal injured his shoulder earlier in this series as well
they were gonna beat the lakers?
Barrack Ocommas the lakers didn't make the playoffs that season
barrack ocommas uh yeah. reggie knew it was the year for the pacers or pistons. to much toughness and defense for the lakers that year. with artest and oneil they were number one at the time as defenders inside and outside. i remember hearing about lebron hype and artest always dominated him.
Didnt the Spurs beat the Pistons in 7 this year?
Reggie for 3!
there's no way Paul George will ever be a better Pacer than Reggie Miller!!!
Its impossible now
He's on clown team now🤡
@@otnielenrico5406 hahahhahhaha, that shit was funny. He is now on the same boat with Kawhi.
Reggie is a tough act to follow
Reggie is Mr. Pacer for a reason.
Jermaine knew that if they had Artest they would be holding the trophy. No team was beating them that year. No one
As warriors fan i agree no doubt!!! They will beat the spurs bc the pacers that time is a type of team who really want to win the championship
They would not beat the Heat
From his speech, u know he is a true classy man! My always no. 1 idol since i started to watch the game in1997.
He would then continue to be a good commentator.
WELCOME TO YOUR KODAK MOMENT!
ok magic johnson
I was there, crying but so grateful and respect for his game

Our Hero Our Legend
Fav NBA player of mine
Reggie Miller ❤
Utmost respect for Reggie
Someone still scoring 27 points in playoff in his last game should not consider retire
flawless mr agreed
I was at the game. I grew up watching Reggie and he will always be my favorite player. This video still brings tears to my eyes. Simply amazing player/person. He's FOREVER a Hoosier!
Almost got tears out me man i hated him back then but hes a great guy and he gave indiana everything he had never left and was ballin out i salute that guy man hes great
If I could be an NBA legend other than Jordan in that era it would be Reggie! Exciting player people loved this dude!
I love old school legends. The ones that are older than me.
I was 17 when Reggie entered the league. So I can't say I grew up watching him. But, it was great watching his whole career.
From a Spurs fan, this was one of the saddest sports days of my life, right up there with the Rams losing to New England in the Super Bowl
Nice career for reggie.. He deserves tha accolades and a hof... Big respect for his opponents.. No bitterness....
History repeats itself when Doc Rivers calls a timeout to honor Dirk Nowitzki
This man deserved a championship!!
Reggie, Nash, Stockton, Iverson, Barkley, Baylor, Malone, VC, Tmac, Ewing - These are the greatest players to have never won a ring but should've won at least one.
Vince Carter retired from the game of basketball after 22 seasons. He played for the Raptors, nets, suns, grizzlies, magic, kings and hawks.
@@Ninja0492 Vince and AI were the two most entertaining players in NBA history- I would add JWill as well but thankfully he got a ring lol.

That time out in the end is what sports is about honor and respect...
that's competitiveness he's getting his Farewell Standing Ovation and he's more pissed off that they lost he really wanted to win and that year I think the Pacers would have won it all tough break that he's definitely a legend and the local IE guy
the reason why I love the Pacers
man, i was entering college after that summer, hard to believe this was 7 years ago already, legends never die and reggie definitely deserves a ring and to be in the HOF!
Miller time!!
Miller could play 1 more year, for the NBA Title, with the Heat. After his departure, the Pacers were not the same...
Miller Time baby!'one of my favourite all time players..
reggie was a great player. Why isn't one of his teams on 2k?
that'd be awesome, the team that went to the finals
True
barkley too
bballjulien ruclips.net/video/IyOp8sTz9rg/видео.html
NBA 2k couldn't get the rights to use Reggie Miller and Charles Barkley's likeness. Thats why there isn't 1999-2000 pacers or throwback suns
i love watching this man play and talk trash at the same time
This shouldnt have been reggies last game. He was still ballin. And healthy....with energy.
I literally cried watching this ..
Respect Larry Brown to call timeout for ex player team on indiana. The great Miller Killer
Ray Allen may have the most 3s in NBA history but Reggie Miller is a better basketball player than him
@Greg Hubbard so what? Just a few players became HOF without a ring, and reggie is one of them. Ray allen better them Reggie? I don't think so, but is your opinion i respect that.
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ok 👌
the bulls prevented reggie miller to get his best chance at a ring 1998. and the 2000 lakers as well
Agreed. Ray also never carried a franchise on his own like Reggie. Reggie also never jumped ship to ring chase.
@@patrickoriley6791 Ray was traded. And the league blackballed him for the Miliwakee/Philly series. Also how Ray conducted his contact without an agent.
Pistons were very classy
respect for reggie that's why he a OG
That's something you didn't hear every day lol.
Love how this game was didn't see a travel or just cherry picking the whole game

So emotional
Reggie, all I have to say is just 2 words THANK YOU!
such a great player
I miss him so much

So much class shown by Detroit in this game
Greatest Pacer ever!!
Funny how Pacers' fans booed him when he was drafted
Go Reggie Go!
It's great that Reggie stayed with the Pacers but I think most in Indy wouldn't have held it against him if he left to get a ring on another team.

I am a Michael Jordan fanatic and I consider him the GOAT but I ain't NEVER see anyone shoot like Reggie. NEVER.
Steph curry is the best shooter ever, ain't close
Great video, Miller was a example of player for all us! =D
Everyone hate to play against him but loves him as a player. Very respectable career.
Love how the camera let's him walk away at the end.
damn from bulls fan was hard seeing this much respect
I watch this game. Really wanted the pacers to win but unfortunately there was no miller time.
one of the greats
