The music makes it sound like he’s about to admit that he buried a body
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 facts. Or he’s on To Catch A Predator
*Enter Chris Hansen*
“Why don’t you have a seat over there Reggie..?”
Lol
he has bodies..ask the Knicks
@@BadTV1993 he damn near killed spike lee a few times
Stephen Jackson to this day is still trying to be a goon at 44 years old.

😂😂 facts

Reggie is talking about respecting the game through intense preparation and being mindful of how to be a professional. This was a common theme expressed by Jordan, Kobe, and other HOF players.
The one who taught all of them that lesson was Larry Bird
@@arln1966 lol Larry didn't teach them that. He was one of them.
1 player stood out , and had the potential to achieve just as much , but lacked professionalism, ALLEN IVERSON
by professionalism .. I mean showing up to practice
Dame was just talking about the same thing with modern players
@@713_Stackz "We're talking about practice, man!" lol 😆
Reggie Miller: a Class Act
Ehhh, to hear Reggie tell it he's a top 10 all timer... Reggie is full of shit.
Lol, Reggie was one of the dirtiest players ever, hearing him about teaching respect is beyond funny 😂
Reggie is 💯 right. Aside from the obvious fact that the educational system is being slowly dismantled and as a result society and human behavior is getting worse and worse, the NBA has a specific problem of lack of mentorship. Several Old School players like Barkley have said it time and time again; that in their playing days, it was very common to see a couple of older veterans that played the role of mentors. That's no longer the case in the NBA. In fact, if I'm not mistaken the Memphis Grizzlies DONT HAVE A SINGLE player in his 30s in their roster. Steven Adams is the oldest at 29 years old. Thats insane 🤯
Damn Steven Adams is still only 29? Lol wth I feel like he’s been in the league forever already
Yep. Damian Lillard just spoke on the importance of having vets on teams.
Pitnutta
The education system should be dismantled. Public education created these fools. Bring back personal responsibility.
The same Barkley that spit on a lil girl and threw a guy through a window? Yeah very classy. That veteran mentorship really paid off! 😏🤦🏾♂️
I agree 💯 The respect and maturity level is gone and hasn't been seen since
NBA used to be a men’s league, but now players are drafted at 19/20 years old and given the keys to the franchise immediately. FO’s value potential more than professionalism and the game is suffering for it. No way Carmelo should be going out the way he is. No reason Westbrook’s name should be slandered the way it has for the last few years. It’s sad because Kobe’s had the most respected voice when it came to these topics, but he’s gone now and people don’t care enough about his era’s legends like KG & Paul Pierce to listen to what they have to say (even though they’re not as well spoken).
It's better now compared to Reggie's late years. During those times. It was mostly 1 on 1 selfish low-scoring game. Also, players were acting like gangsters, that's why the Jerseys are not as baggy anymore to rid of the mindset.
@@HighlightRiel The players today are too young and immature.
@TA-ht4jo nothing to do with age really some of these guys are in their 30s and being immature
Actually that brawl caused the hammer to be dropped to the point the intensity kinda died down a bit....while you have people like Ja it isn't like the early 2000s at all.
I’m a knick fan. Miller destroyed us regularly and yet we respected him. He played w passion and humor
Yo same. He kept decimating us…we loved to hate him lol
@@blaxpoitation8528Definitely a love/hate relationship b/c he def made the knicks look sorry on numerous occasions but at the end of the day you still had to respect his greatness 👏 🤷♂️
Regularly he lost more than he won. I hate you know nothings regurgitating narratives. He was 26-41 against. That’s almost 33 percent win percentage. Kill who. One playoff series win. Google.
@carronhalfpookiehalfhenryw1113 What does win/loss have to do with how Reggie played against the Knicks? Were you even alive to watch those matchups, or did you just Google stats?
Those 90's Knicks teams were stacked. Now the Pacers had a good starting 5, but they never had the depth the Knicks did back then. One player can't win a team game but can still play incredible while losing.
@@donovanmccat7254 I was alive I also googled facts. Fact he averaged 18.4 points in 67 games against the Knicks. Men lie you obviously lie numbers don’t. Killer where. Where sir. 4 5 games make you a killer. What about the other 63 games.
I met Al Harrington one night at the gas station near the airport in Indy after they flew back in after a road game.
Real classy dude.
I Hear stories about Al but I gotta say, I was surprised when he said he loved playing mentor to AL Harrington. I dont know why because he is soft spoken and never seemed like a knucklehead or a guy that peacocks for attention but I think his play reminded me of Antoine Walker and I lumped them in together lol
@@say5070 when he first came in the league out of high school, he lived with Antonio Davis and his family and they watched over him like he was their own child.
That was a classy gesture by the Davis family.
That's cool, when your idols meet your expectations.
My dude Reggie discovered the key to reverse-aging wtf
This interview is like over 10 years old
@@eaglewinnings8003
Actually, he even looks younger today. Blacks who take care of themselves do appear to age in reverse.
@@FactsOnlyPlease.look at him closely and he looks old. Of course black people age a million times better than whites do but that doesn’t mean none of them age.
Facts... he honestly still looks like his UCLA days
Easy to do when u were bald in ur youth.
That pacers team had a legit chance of winning the championship...and then the brawl happened.
Stephen Jackson mindset still hasn't changed
The only thing he said about Stack was that he was a little rough around the edges.
@@amck72 why niggas be worried about another man
Because Steph Jackson is still in the public eye with a popular podcast, he does not want to air him out that way.@@kaydee1485
Stack is a weed smoking so called Muslim
JACKSON trying to act like STREET Dude, STEVE FRANCIS out here, trying to become a RAPPER...😂 they're both 46.
I always felt like something was up when reg retired.
Besides being 39 and shooting 32% from three his final year?
@@BrooklynBalla that has nothing to do with how he got along with his teammates. He was a pacer legend and the face of the franchise for years. And his teammates seemed to give two shits when he was leaving. And now we have insight into why.
@@BrooklynBallaYea most of those younger players basketball IQ was 32.
I wish Reggie Miller had win a chip he was a true competitor heart of a lion
I'm glad that he mentioned Stephen Jackson. Even at his present age, Jackson sounds very immature. When he spoke on the Ja Morant situation (threatening the security guard at the mall, beating up the 17 kid, and brandishing the handgun on social media), he told people to leave Ja alone. Do not correct him. He said that he always tell young people to be themselves. In other words, don't listen to anyone who tries to advise you.
Yeah his words didn't come out right , but I do understand him in trying to defend ja cause if I was him I would to , that's his nba basketball family, I believe in trying to help ja be better , not join the crowd in tearing him down, if you made a mistake outside of work would you want all the employees against you and want you fired ? Ja has issues I get it , but I know a few dudes that were like that and changed for the better
I always hear people tell others to "be themselves".
What if they're assholes? What if they themselves are terrible people? What if they are reckless people who put other people in danger with their bad decisions?
Are you still telling them to be themselves?
ja did all this?
@@ddavis8988 Well... I understand that. But that sentence is supposed to mean "be the best version of yourself you can be, not a complete different and false person to please others".
Honestly, Ja's situation completely refers to that. He's not a thug, he's just trying to look hard for his peers and what he thinks gives him credibility. I'm sure his education wasn't about that life.
@Joao Albuquerque
I grew up near where Ja grew up. He wasn't in them streets and he needs to be thankful that he wasn't and that he had a 2 parent household guiding him. Cause there are knuckheads in Sumter who would kill for his life.
And that's not what Stephen Jackson said. Amd Jack is known for giving suspect advice.
The Pacers were going to win the championship until the malice at the palace They had a team then Ron Artest got suspended for the year.
They had the talent but, too many critical players who were selfish and were more concerned about personal stats than winning as a team.
The horrific lack of maturity wouldn't compromise for team success. A shame, they coulda won it all 🤷♂️
I feel for Reggie so much. Dude just wanted to win a ring and instead he had to babysit a bunch of immature grown ass adults. Even to this day Stephen Jackson still acts like a 17 year old in his 40s. I couldn’t imagine having to be around a group of guys like that 24/7 let alone trying to win a ring with them. It must have been so frustrating.
@Kyle Urbin Damn this was well said, especially by a fan of the opposite team, respect....😎👍🏾👍🏾
no he doesn't.
Reggie would often play a very immature game. The truth hurts.
@@thunderpoochNo he didn't 🤡 😂
You right bruh idc what nobody says that was the Pacers year.
Miller not a hood dude like the new guys they surrounded
him by. He knew he would have to babysit rather than teaching the game he loves.
To be fair he was probably one of the few educated guys in the NBA
@@enhancedutility266 No he really wasn't. the majority of the NBA tought like Reggie during his era. Ask Vernon Maxwell aka Stephen Jackson 1.0 why he got punched in the face by Hakeem. Because that hood shit doesn't have any business being anywhere but in the hood.
@@marcoslaureano5562no it's not 😂😂😂
💯 he’s mainly talking about Jermaine O’Neal & Ronny Artest. O’Neal used to be up in Broad Ripple at the clubs every night of the week when the Pacers weren’t on the road & Artest was hanging down off Washington street on the near East side in the hood. Most of his family still lives there. They loved it here compared to where they were in NYC. As good as those 2 were if they’d been more mature and focused solely on basketball they’d have won multiple championships bc I know for a fact both of them, & several other Pacers, had pretty severe substance abuse issues.
Why the music changed like that when he mentioned Al Harrington like Al is a villain or something lmao
You can tell there is a lack of preparation. There's no way a player should be able to get to his sweet spot all the time without being denied or doubled.
I mean I remember the coach before jb got hired Cavs players got a coach fired because he wanted them to watch more tape. Kevin love was frustrated with Collin sexton because he didn’t prepare and wasn’t interested in running a offense
Great Truth spoken by Reggie. Probably the main reason I haven't really watched the NBA in 20 years
It's been4 for me
Same here. Absolute garbage. The game is garbage and attitudes
@@simplysimple7628 boo hoo! You simps crying about a style of game from 20 years ago, everything changes and you change with it or get left behind!plain and simple! Don't watch the NBA I'm sure they'll be fine without you!
Agreed, I slowed down watching the game after 2005. It has become a shooting contest, who can shoot the furthest. The year's all star proved that. Horrible.
Yea I stopped watching in the late 2000s.
Ultimately, Reggie paid the biggest price for the malice in the palace.
💯 Reg, one of the many reason we love you. I haven't realized it until now but I guess that's why I haven't watched the NBA since you retired. Kobe said similar things as well...While there are some exceptions for the most part it's sadly become a crybaby clown show. Thanks for so many awesome years Reg, will always love you!!
He’s right because that team should’ve won a COUPLE of rings. They had the best Bug Man defender in Jermaine who averaged 20/10 with 3 blocks, the best 2 way wing out side of Kobe in Ron, another damn good two way player in Stephen Jackson who was a really good 3 point shooter to go along with a top 5 shooter ever on Reggie. Also had good role players starting with Tinsley, Crohere, Fred Jones. and Scott Foster.
On top of that they were coached by a top 12 coach ever who won a title 6 seasons later. This team was one of the biggest "what-ifs." If O’Neal always stayed healthy and Ron/Jax weren’t such out control mental patients, then they would’ve won in 04-05. The kings (DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW BAD THE REFS SCREWED THEM IN GAME 4 AND 6 OF THE 02 WCT VS THE LAKERS) and Pacers were the biggest what ifs of the 2000’s (Honorable mention? 99-2000 Blazers.).
Lol Stephen Jackson shown when Reggie talkin about being a professional 😂
Them getting into that brawl ruined his last shot at a title. It’s a shame because you could argue the pacers had the overall best team that year. I really think had that not happened they would’ve ended up in the finals
That pacers team with artest oneal jackson could have been a problem if they just focus on playing the game
They thought they were RAPPERS that HOOPERS...😂
that's the problem.
Miss the 90s so much they all had so much character. I remember hating Reggie and Ewing mourning but wanted them all to win a ring because they were such great ballers and people.
Doesn’t matter what line of work you’re in. The youngest generation doesn’t want to work for anything. Talent doesn’t mean much in this world because the guy next to you with half the talent and twice the fortitude and work ethic will win every single time.
It’s sad cuz even if he was 40, he still had a lot in the tank. He went crazy on his last playoff game as proof. He could’ve played at least 1-2 more seasons.
stephen jackson will always be immature even as he ages
DAMON DASH asked him... What's your biggest professional dream about life or career?
JACKSON replied, I wanna become an ACTOR, DAMON DASH was offended, he was like, naaaaahhhhh... That's too small, Give me another bigger dream 😂.
Right there and then, I knew the Guy will never grow mentally.
Classic Reggie! Thanks for 18 great years!
Reggie deserved a Ring !! But thank you for sticking with your team !! It’s to bad the Pacers have been in the NBA since the 70s and no Ring !!
Valid points...respect is quickly disappearing. Everyone wants you to earn it...which makes sense... but respect can be something you just show and give until you're given a reason not 2. Times have changed.
Both should be true. You should be given benefit of the doubt at first until after an impression is made then you should have to build from there.
@@bullshark3771 No. You should have to EARN any "benefit of the doubt". Until you've earned it then people are correct in side-eyeing you.
Should’ve went to the lakers in 2000. Oh well.
He wanted to truly earn a chip 🏆 not get one on Kobe🕊️ and Shaq's coattails. That's Miller not Durant
It was weird seeing Reggie Miller playing into the mid 2000s. Too “futuristic” for him
I understand what he is saying. The early 2000's hip hop street culture had fully permeated the NBA, alot of players were towing the line between wanting to be gangsta and pro athlete.
David Stern stepped up big. The dress code, ceasing to draft players straight out of high school etc. It really helped the league correct itself. Nowadays players are a lot more conscious of their image, and consider themselves brands and business men.
With the exception of the Ja Morant situation, NBA players have done quite well since malice in the palace.
The hip-hop culture within the league is arguably even worse now than it was then. Most of these players and even the league it’s self seem to promote is indecent rap content. And at least those guys back in 2000’s still dressed like actual males. These dudes nowadays are wearing dresses with purses smh
Yes! Preach my guy. You remember back in the day when players having tattoos was an anomaly? Dennis Rodman was looked at like a freak (although he was a tremendous defender). Now…being clean cut is regarded as corny. This is why despite being one of the all-time greatest to ever play the game, Tim Duncan’s Jersey never really sold like that…smh make it make sense bro
U mad about Hip Hop culture? lmao! unbelievable. yes let's blame the street reporters of real life situations these men have to deal with lol. Foh. street ball style is the reason the NBA is even still watchable. Indeed people should have respect for putting in hard work to excel at the game, Ofc. your "beloved" d.stern fvcked up by not drafting out of high school. currently the game is soft with pussy foul calls. All offense and no defense now because when u actually play defense its being called a foul. smh. Dress code is mostly bs. and tim duncan jerseys don't sell cuz dude was boring. hey, have all the rings ya want, but if you're game is forgettable then it will be forgotten.
players nowadays DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY bud, they know dunks and fancy dribbles but no court sense
@@blaxpoitation8528let's be honest bro.. Duncan's game, while very effective, was extremely boring. Not taking away from his greatness, but that matters when it comes to fans wanting to buy his jersey.
I dont blame reggie. Reggies is very sophisticated and respectful and he was coaching a team full of gang bangers
Reggie was also 39, only playing 32 minutes per game, and hadn't scored at least 15 points per game since three seasons earlier.
I don't doubt he believes what he's saying, but there IS context.
He almost came back for the 08 Celtics. Context is needed
@@choossuck7653 And that provides context ... how, exactly?
Remember, you're talking about something he didn't actually do, and has since provided three separate reasons for not doing. If we start giving weight to everything we DON'T do ... 🤣
He’s right. Lots of immature players and a lack of respect for the game across the league. Though, I think that’s the problem. Society thinks respect is deserved. It is earned through hard work in many regards.
In my heart as a Pacer fan, I will always believe that the 2004-05 team had a legit chance to win it all before that night in Detroit.
#31 is my favorite player all time. The Malice In The Palace was our year to win a championship. We had the best record in the east that year. We were smoking everyone we played. We sabotaged ourselves and never recovered. That was our year....then 31 was gone. We're just starting to shine again. I hope this never happens again. That was our year.
It clips like this that make me love the internet. Reggie Miller retired in 2005. So, for everyone dissing the current era like it’s the worst thing they’ve ever seen remember this clip. EVERY era has their mix of great players and knuckleheads. Remember what Jordan said about his team when he came into the league in 1984. Are there things about the current era I can’t stand? Yes. Are there things about the current era I love? Yes. The same can be said for every era prior.
The NBA is awful today
@@BoosterGoldEarth6 Name your favorite era and I can tell you what was awful about it. Stop putting on rose colored glasses when thinking back to previous eras.
When the drafted players became younger and kids in the hood saw that was one of the ways out. To me that is piggy backing off the bad boys in a way.
I love this. Those same cats he mentioned be the main ones talking about a lot of these players these days but they literally opened the doors for all the fuckery today lmao 🤦🏽♂️
Yeah, the maturity level dropping in today's sports (and society in general) is a major issue. Grown up men and women are actually kids and behave so...
Reggie an all time great. I’ll never forget the playoff game against the knicks. My cuz wanted to just go outside and play ball. The knicks got this he said. Not enough time on the clock he said. I looked at him and said, oh, you must not know about Reggie Miller! He found out that day.
Reggie fouled Greg Anthony before the steal
Hahahahahaha. No, Greg fell. This isn’t even a thing.
@@oak49sox he fell because Miller pushed him. Pretty obvious and pretty blatant
🥱
Watching that brawl on live TV was absolutely INSANE. It lasted like 30 minutes. It was CRAZY. November of 2004.
I remember watching that game.
.In the 1st quarter...I couldn't stay up.... because I did 40 hrs and went to school all week
"A lot of these younger players just want to show up"....this is even more relevant right now compared to 2004.
Miss conception about that incident, Stephen Jackson, NOT Ron Artest was in the stands fighting fans first. Secondly, what always made me laugh was Artest went after the wrong person, it was the dude behind him that he should’ve beat up. Thirdly, I didn’t think what Ron did warranted that response from Ben Wallace.
Alluding to Reggie's point: I was the Post MJ era.....Pre Lebron era. Aka....The Allen Iverson era....Guys were wearing Cornrolls and baggy pants to the game. AI was the face of the league....not Shaq or Kobe.
Some of the comments here truly represent this disrespectful generation.
Agree 💯
Not really. They learned it from somewhere, blame these old folks for their terrible parenting skills.
@@nate8604 Gen X didn't raise a great generation. You're definitely right on that one.
Stay mad about it.
@@chazzx1018gen x was not exactly a great generation themselves. You can’t really bring out in others what you don’t have yourself.
Reggie was a stand up guy and loved him for being a pacer thanks Reggie
I used to be a huge pacers fan. The brawl happened when I was a senior in high school and I haven't watched much nba basketball since. That ruined the league for me. I still have my signed Reggie Miller and Dale Davis cards on the wall, though.
Goddamn- I thought this was clickbait, as he's always maintained that it was due to his ankles (which I'm sure was still a factor), but....ohhh those bastards!!
All-time favorite player! Man that 04-05 team was bound to be champions if not for the brawl. Stacked with talent all the way through the bench. Sad to know they didn't respect themselves enough to work for it. I haven't watched a game since Reggie retired.
U ain't watched a game of ball in almost 20 years..?stop capping
@stifler5062 lol you right, I watched one game of the Pacers/Heat Eastern Conference series in 2013. It re-pissed me off so I have legit not watched another one. I still keep up with the game here and there though. Turns out I was just a Reggie fan all that time
Kids these days don’t understand how WILD AND UNREACHABLE the youth was in the early 2000s you couldn’t tell them NOTHING and it wasn’t no social media to expose them they was all in they own world in they own heads. Dangerous times ! My brothers and friend got shot around this exact time.
Reggie was a thorn for us Bulls fans but we always respected him. He was brash, talked shit but backed it up. A true leader. Never a dirty player nor was he a sore loser, durable and clutch! I wish he had left Indiana to get some rings elsewhere.
Loved Al Harrington
*That picture of Reggie standing there lookin down like Woody just got dissed by Buzz Lightyear and had a real bad day.*
If that fight didn´t happen , he would of got a ring that year , Been a Reggie fan since UCLA . He deserved it , the team didn´t .
Playing a children’s game as a Grown man, grown men watching other men play a children’s game. It’s only a matter of time you see the truth.
lol
Idk those dudes put max effort on the court though. That Pacers team was special inbetween the lines
Reggie Miller taught me one valuable lesson in life just because you don't like a person don't mean they're not good at their job much respect for him for that
He could have joined a different team….a lot of those teams in the mid 2000s just needed that extra shooter/scorer. Look at what Ray Allen did for the Heat, just saying🤷🏼♂️
That wasn't the mentality back then. Try to latch on and get a ring when past your prime. I know a dude like Reggie would not appreciate the ring fully if he ran to another team like LA.
Miss the 80s and 90s ball. Game has changed dramatically.
I wasn't even watching basketball before 2012 and I can see the difference. 60s finals were great
Self respect and discipline starts at home and most have neither one😢
LIKE THE TRUMP DOMESTIC TERRORISTS ON JANUARY 6TH
The best thing about new media is players and personalities getting a platform after being shunned by their industries. They tried to make Marbury out to be a head case - he did have some weird interviews, but the crazy narrative was just an excuse to deny his talent and explain how he could still play at a high level but be treated like a bum.
Who knew handing 18 year olds millions without any accountability would go sideways. Pro sports definitely peaked in the mid to late 90's. Been declining ever since.
I think Magic said similar things when he talked about the time he coached the Lakers.
It’s funny how , Stephen Jackson, and them try to glorify that Malice in the palace situation like that’s something to be proud of like that’s nothing to be proud of, even though it was a major moment in basketball history tbh lol Stephen Jackson still out here trying to be a gangster go be a family man or something lol
“We talkin practice.”
AI
We talkin zero rings
We talking one of the all time greats
True. But AI played as hard as anyone you ever saw on game day. It doesn’t excuse the fact about practice. He needed to make those around him better.
Didnt mention Artest or O’Neal. That part was telling for me. That Pacers team talent was so stacked. If they just would have listened to Miller and let him lead they would have been a borderline dynasty. Too good on D and playmakers on OFF just needing Reggie to close.
Translation
Reggie: Scott Adams is right
The year after Kobe retired, i started watching a lot less basketball.
After his death, i haven't watched a single game.
I still play tho, with my son.
But the NBA, to me, isn't the same.
I still love basketball tho, and will always do.
Too many players feel entitled, and think they are supposed to be in the NBA no matter what. Teams can draft or acquire any player they want from anywhere. No one is entitled to be in the NBA, and no one can say who does or doesnt belong in the NBA. Outside of the stars everyone else is just talented enough to be on a team.
there hasn't been respect in the NBA since Bird and Magic. the Jordan era is when they introduced this nonsense. they completely used Jordan to make money. it wasn't about basketball anymore. they manipulated the league so he could stand out. there are consequences for all actions.
I have been telling people the same thing. No matter what Magic and Bird did it was ALWAYS about the Lakers and the Celtics but when Jordan came along he , Nike and the NBA totally destroyed the concept of team sports and the first time I actually paid attention to it was when he scored 63 pts against Boston but no one ever talks about the fact he got swept in the playoffs that season and if you do you're labeled an old hater
Good point, never thought of that perspective. The NBA has been on a decline since the Jordan era and we’re just now seeing it’s full effect on the league and players.
Would have lived to see Reggie miller on the 08 Celtics. Even tho i cant stand him as a person, he deserved it
In general, maturity comes with age. Regardless of the sport or industry, young people are immature.
You can therefore place some of the blame on the more senior members not being great mentors and role models.
Haha with the music and guy with the pad it has murder mystery vibes lol 😂
I watched the malice in the palace live. I thought it was great. Made the game that was happening way more entertaining.
People act like the malice at the palace was a war crime and the hammer had to fall but not the people who took us to Iraq lol.
But in recent years he's been promoting and celebrating these young players today that make young players in Miller's twilight years look like consummate pros. Until past night when he called out the fake king for deflecting blame all the time. Props to Miller for keeping it real there.
It’s really a shame. It’s really the human condition that limits its own growth. Elders play a significant role in advancement. They’ve been through everything your going through and have hindsight. Some times people just have to learn how to shut up and follow instruction. Gives you discipline and humility.
I hate when ppl try so hard so sugar coat the truth stephen jackson is not a mature adult
I don’t know why he called that brawl a dark time. That shit was must see tv. I was glued to the screen. It was a top 10 NBA moment. I just wished Artest would’ve swung on the right person in the stands
They had a great young core. If Jason Kidd or another great point guard was in Indy at that time, they would have won it. Jermaine was a monster back then.
Michael Jordan too with the Wizards.
Reggie Miller was one of the clutch shooters of all time😁
As a Pacers fan since the Chuck Person days, the Malice in the Palace still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Before that debacle, the Pacers were the best team in the league. Besides 1998, that was Reggie’s only realistic chance to win a ring.
Ron Artest ruined it all.
John Starks lit Miller up every time
Wow, this is very, very interesting. Never would've thought about that aspect of it
Some players never learn how to grow up and be respectful… it’s a terrible shame that Miller had to go through that experience with his supposed “teammates”.
And the fact that Taysean Prince chased him down from half court and pinned what should have been an EASY dunk/layup for a 6’7 guard to the backboard. Father Time sentenced him to humility that game it was time he knew damn well he alone cost the pacers that game and realized he had aged out.
Never should've traded Jalen Rose. Would've loved to see Reggie, Jalen, and Jermaine O'Neal with Al have a go at it.
Dude is talking about respect and maturity levels.. has he watch video of himself as a player yet?! He was very disrespectful to the point where even MJ had to fight him.
The game lost its respect when people started getting paid too much before earning it, right around these times. Taking kids from the hood and giving them huge paychecks before they’ve earned it breeds this kind of behavior.
Reggie was teaching them young'ns how to go back and forth with Spike Lee
I used to play "semi-pro" football, and one day a fight broke out. I never played another season.
How on earth did he mention Stephen Jackson as one of the good ones?? Dude is still a knucklehead to this day.
Reginald knew it was time to retire because that fight was going to bring some waves that sunk his chance of getting a ring .
