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.
😂😂😂

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.
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 😆
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.
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 😂
Malice at the Palace squandered any chance Reggie Miller had left to win a ring. People forget how good that Pacer team was because of the brawl.
True, they were that good. Even artest & jackson admitted later on that the brawl in the palace messed up a potentially great team.
They were first seed that year until that happened. At least the superior team won the chip
@Gee_Morty.. that happened in November you donut. Who gives a flying F about 1st seed in November
True. After that happened, Miller's career was done. They still had hope before the incident but that whole brawl ruined the whole season! It cast a dark shadow...
@@wgsuperstar7730 were you even alive? Stfu 😺
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 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 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.
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! 😏🤦🏾♂️
This isn’t just an nba issues. It’s a society issue
God bless you man for this comment. The Malaise in the NBA is A Reflection of The Institutional and Moral Decadence Prevailing in the American Society Where Kids have bigger rights than their Parents no thanks To Govt.. What we have in the NBA now are Soft Social Media freaks and Grown Soft babies with average to zero Basketball Skills and Mostly Zero Passion and Discipline for the Game….
Yep. People gunna hate this one but it’s true. Period
I agree
Wow, the music is so haunting and serious… you can feel the pain in the sparse music
Its an N issue
That pacers team had a legit chance of winning the championship...and then the brawl happened.
Never forget when Ron Artest (Metta) asked after the brawl “do y’all think we in trouble” 😅
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.
Miller is one of those under rated og’s man much respect to him, if he played today he would kill the league.
He wouldn’t “kill” he would be as good if not slightly better. He would be similar to prime Klay thompson
@@retrozzfuzionzz8677he would because how sucks the defense today
How he is underrated? Everyone knows and it is very well documented what he did during his career and his legacy. Wtf
Most overrated. He invented the shot flop. Nuff said.
I wish Reggie Miller had win a chip he was a true competitor heart of a lion
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.
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 🤷♂️
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.
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.).
Why the music changed like that when he mentioned Al Harrington like Al is a villain or something lmao
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.
Not many people are as classy and well spoken as Reggie Miller. On the other hand, some people only respond to the Sheriff, badges and guns, and that's messed up.
Like Chris Rock said... He had parents. He was raised. 😂😂😂
He grew up in a military household.
💯 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!!
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
Yep, Reggie they different Bro.
Real different
Sadly, pathetically different.
So different that it's killing the league its becoming unwatchable.
Always respected Reggie.
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.
Thats why the NBA Is not the same he was playing with clowns
It's become unwatchable for me.. growing up watching the NBA in the 80's and 90's there was a maturity and masculine presence that's missing now.
@TommieGun71 1000% true.
Now it just seems to be a masculine version of real housewives.
Just drama everywhere.
I can’t watch no more either
@@TommieGun71 100 % agreed. Even as a casual basketball fan I see that masculine presence lacking.
It’s 1000 times worse today. Immaturity has become a common trait amongst these idiots.
It’s even worse today joke of a league and people say you’re a racist when you’re speaking on it , but it’s just the truth. The league was predominantly black in the 70s , 80s , and 90s. But there was a reverence and respect for playing at this level & it’s gone today
Reggie should've left we all know this...Lakers wanted him and he would've had a ring or two
Man that would've been dope.
@@kenyontucker6469 they both had mutual interest I think it just fell apart deal wise
The Celtics big 3 wanted him.
Yeah but he’s no sellout started in Indiana so he finished in Indiana…❤💯🤷♂️
Nope.. the Celtics.. in 2007.. them again he was never an Eddie house!
Lol Stephen Jackson shown when Reggie talkin about being a professional 😂
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.
And that was back in 2005. Nowadays seems like dudes barely even care about the regular season, load manage, miss games for anything short of a broken fingernail, demand trades with 3-4 years left on there contract, and still have organizations giving them 100-200$ million+max deals etc. Pro ballers have NEVER been perfect men, but the lack of respect and regard for the game is at an all-time low. Reggie got out right in time...
I love when they miss games for "personal reasons". And anytime management complain they get threatened with the "racist" card.
Ultimately, Reggie paid the biggest price for the malice in the palace.
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.
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 ... 🤣
It was weird seeing Reggie Miller playing into the mid 2000s. Too “futuristic” for him
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.
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.
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
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.
All respect to Reggie man, he has the heart of lion.. sad it had to go down like that
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 !!
I dont blame reggie. Reggies is very sophisticated and respectful and he was coaching a team full of gang bangers
If Reggie saw this imagine what Kobe saw with his sorry ass teammates those years he didn’t make the playoffs
Hell why you thought Lebron left. There was vets in the Cavs lockerroom that said he was frustrated with a lot of his teammates not putting the work in
@@hiitsme3039 putting the work in only to be 3-6-1
@@jeortiz-luis4288 oh you mad loll.
Kobe was the reason his team wasn’t making the playoffs, he’s also the reason the suns came back and eliminated them when they were up 3-1 against them. This revisionist history with Kobe has to stop just because he’s dead. 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.
Also I’m not even sure why you even brought Kobe up, players can express how they feel independently. You said that shit as if Kobe wanted to win more than Reggie even did.
@@wirelessbrain12 mad about what? sound like your brain definitely should connect some wires. make more sense.
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.
Reggie... The last Pacers legend!
The last?
By all accounts, plz tell us, who was the first….?
@@BobSteven_enjoyit Ok, you got me - one and only legend!
#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.
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.
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 was a stand up guy and loved him for being a pacer thanks Reggie
Classic Reggie! Thanks for 18 great years!
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
This video has Ron Artest written all over it
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Absolutely loved this interview. Is there a way I can see the full interview?
"A lot of these younger players just want to show up"....this is even more relevant right now compared to 2004.
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
The early 2000's was the"HOOD"era of the NBA.
The 70s weren’t the worst era of the league. The thug era was. Reggie was a Class act and deserved a better end to his career.
@@johnburris7711 the 70's was the Dark Ages of the NBA
@@johnburris7711Ironically...it was a similar mentality... because you didn't have a level headed guy like Magic (80s) or MJ (90s) to market the league...U had streets guys dominating the game. The 70s was the original thug era... difference... replace weed with coke and baggy clothes with bell bottoms...and it was the same mentality...
NBA Players from the same hood as RAPPERS.
The very thing he talked about as problems with the younger players in his later years is even WORSE now.
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
🥱
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.
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
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.
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 🤦🏽♂️
Rough around the edges..... The nice way of saying yo ass is GHETTO 😂😂
With a young and wild Stephen Jackson, and a hot head Ron Artest that hung with 50 cent and Tony Yayo and G-unit who was beefing with jimmy henchman and preme....I would too.
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.
Boom Baby!!!
.. one of the greatest!!... a Pacer for 17 years, Love ya Reggie!
Respect!
Half the NBA is like that today. 😄👍
95% more like
*That picture of Reggie standing there lookin down like Woody just got dissed by Buzz Lightyear and had a real bad day.*
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.
Loved Al Harrington
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.

Haha with the music and guy with the pad it has murder mystery vibes lol 😂
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!!
I think Magic said similar things when he talked about the time he coached the Lakers.
Some of the comments here truly represent this disrespectful generation.

@@chazzx1018gen x was not exactly a great generation themselves. You can’t really bring out in others what you don’t have yourself.
This is real and evident in every aspect of life in the new age. Most principles are all gone.
Reggie is 100% correct here.
The game, and it's players, just continues to get worse every year... ja MORONt is just the latest... sad what's become of a league that used to be fun to watch.
Really wish he would've joined that '07-'08 Celtics team like Ainge tried to convince him to do. That team would've been even more fun to watch, and he would've had a ring by kicking kobe's ass.
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.
Greatest shooter I have ever had the privilege to watch
Then you never watched Larry Bird play. Your loss
@@arln1966 larry wasnt a shooter but a scorer, reggie purely a shooter
@@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.
@@arln1966 Look at Larry 3% and come back and tell me he was
@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.
Self respect and discipline starts at home and most have neither one😢
LIKE THE TRUMP DOMESTIC TERRORISTS ON JANUARY 6TH
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.
“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.
That tayshaun prince block should have been the indicator that it was time to retire
Not really man. It happens and Tayshaun was elite with his long arms. I was a Michigander at the time and so psyched to see the pistons kick ass.
Reggie would have had that shot swatted at a rookie and I'm a Reggie guy. I don't know what you're talking about because dunking on people was never Reggie's thing.
Translation
Reggie: Scott Adams is right
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.
Agree, but Reggie giving the “choke sign” to fans was not the most mature thing in the world.
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.
@@88949597 Facts. And being a Knicks fan, I can attest to this. Plus, Reggie was always a professional. He’s 100% right on this. The game has lost its “luster.”
The difference between that Reggie & the Reggie during "Malice" is like 10 years. You think his attitude couldn't have changed in the span of a decade? 🤔
@@jan279 maybe
Reggie was the shit, the only player that made us MJ fans nervous.
