    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.

    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.

      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).

    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 🤯

    💯 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.

  • @oWo4L
    @oWo4L 5 месяцев назад +4

    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.).

    That's probably the incident where *many* fans of the game tuned out for good. The game itself is great, but it's hard to enjoy when so many players don't respect themselves enough to respect fellow players or the purity of basketball and its rules. Shoot, even the refs don't respect the rules anymore. Every single possession involves either a traveling violation that goes uncalled or an unenforced carry on the dribble. Defense is a thing of the past, and the team game is all but gone. It's virtually unwatchable for me now.

Great players are supposed to win, and he failed numerous of times to even be a .500 team before they acquire Pau and Ron Artest, etc.

    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.

      @@wetlettuce8215 lol, Larry Bird was a deadly shooter, especially with the game on the line. And how can you tell?
      The one shot they show about Larry Bird the most is the one he missed vs the Lakers after Magic hit the baby hook shot over McHale. Why does that get shown more often? Simple answer: it's because he hit so many clutch shots to win the game that the one he missed is used to show that even the greatest player in NBA history failed in the clutch once in awhile.
      Further proof of how great a shooter Larry Bird is? At age 60, he went to a Pacers practice, grabbed a ball and made 10 consecutive 3 point shots WITHOUT A MISS in front of the entire Pacers team, then sat down on the bleachers to watch practice. After not playing that much basketball since he retired.
      Bet you Reggie Miller can't do that.

      ​@Anthony Naughton Nah. This just shows you can't respect a different game or player. Or you never actually saw Miller play. He was an incredible shooter and so fun to watch. Fearless and clutch. He'd just burst around screens and his launch/release was so quick... as a Bulls fan he was one of the only players from that Era that whenever there was a pressure shot and it was in Miller's hands your heart skipped a beat.
      One of my favorite players. I'll never get why some guys are so sensitive they have to put down a player to try to elevate another... it's kind of juvenile. Bird is a legend for a variety of reasons but it doesn't negate being a bid fan of Miller's game.

    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.

    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.

      He didn't give the choke sign to the fans. He gave it to Spike Lee. That's it
      Spike didn't respect him or his team, or his state for that matter.. Reggie just gave it right back to him. There's a difference
      Knicks & Pacers hated each other because they respected each other.
