Thanks Reggie for all the memories you are leaving us with.

The NBA won't be the same without you.

Truly sad ending but thanks for the memories Reggie

great player, a true legend. the game just got a little worse for his exit. *has obligatory moment of internal silence*

He proved that he still has ALOT left in his tank...is there any chance that he doesn't retire?

I can't remember wathcing the NBA without Reggie. Most of the older guys are gone but Reggie was still up there in production, and its sad to see him leave the game knowing that he could still help Indiana win the title. Maybe next year theyll pick him up during the season.

Hope so... but it doesn't look good, especially when all the fans were chanting " One--- more--- year" and Michelle asked him if the thought of staying in the game has crossed his mind, and he said not once.

I'm still giving him a standing ovation.

What a great guy, and the model NBA player. If the NBA had more players like him, I watch more games.

Big thanks to Reggie. Few players have left the game and left me as many great memories.

Sad to see a great player retire..

I am happy I got this year's version of Espn basketball, that way I can keep Reggie on my team.

Reggie Miller is a class act. Tonight he put on what may be the single greatest going-out performance I've ever seen. 27pts, 4-8 from beyond the arc (I say 4-6 because those last two were desperation)... Reggie Miller is absolute clutch. There is, and there never will be, anybody like him. I love Chauncey for his clutch ability and I love Rip for his movement... but even if you made them one player they could not measure up to Reggie Miller at the end of his career (to say nothing of his prime).

I teared up at the end there, I'm not even a Pacers fan and I never really was a huge fan of Reggie (though I always have respected him). I just saw that moment and I remembered being at the last game at Tiger Stadium and I understood what was going through the minds of those people. That little kid they showed with a tear in his right eye, I understood exactly what he felt... I was that same age... and I know what it is to lose something you've had as a rock for your entire life.

Jermaine O'Neal could remain in Indiana until the end of his career, play amazing clutch basketball and be a great presence on the court, as well as the face of the franchise... but it would never feel the same. Never.

-Chris.
