Who was Reggie Miller?
I admit having mixed emotions about Reggie Miller.
I admire his drive and his guts, and the fact that he just can´t stand losing… (memories off na All-star game comes to mind… when Magic was on the stripe for the game-winning two and Reggie was circling (sp?) him and yelling (you´re gonna miss it! You´re gonna miss it!)).
On the other hand during his career he was seen (and deservely so) as a punk, with his tantrums and ill-advised technicals, and a whinner.
When it´s all said and done (and that moment is aproaching fast…), will Reggie leave any Legacy to the Pacers and the League? Was he an example? Or will he fade into oblivion as yet another so-so player who was an all-star but not a diffrence maker?
Your thought?…

As the Jazz are Malon and Stockton, the Pacers will forever be Reggie Miller. Reggie will always be remember, hes 18th(or 17th?) on the alltime scoring list. Hes also the all time 3 point leader. I for one will never forget the guy, and his passion will always be remembered by all Pacer players to come.

Yup. To Pacer fans and probably Knick fans he will always be remembered, but to everyone else he won't exactly fade into oblivion but he won't be remembered as well.

It's simple. Reggie Miller is a god.
He's the best player i'v ever seen. When the game was late in the 4th and we were down, i was worried, i knew Reggie was gonna get it for us. He played 120% every game. He won't be rememered by too many people like you guy says, but those who have seen him play, will remember him for a long time.

reggie miller has honestly been my idol for the past 10 years... i have done numerous school reports on the man... have posters all over my room, i have actually studied the way he plays, this man to me is amazing... the pacers will always be reggie's. i honestly think that he will leave a legacy to the entire league... he was the 1 player that late in the game... weather it be last second or the whole fourth quarter you didnt want the ball in his hands... he has done so much by himself about every game of his career the opposing coach spent sleepless nights just trying to figure out how to slow this guy down. reggie miller will always be my hero and it will always be MILLER TIME!!!!!

I think these boys summed it all up. And I thought I was the biggest Reggie fan. Nice to see everyone stepping up to bat for Reggie.

He is the best 3 pt shooter ever. He is tied for best clutch shooter ever with Jordan. Yeah I think he'll leave a legacy. IMO he is a top 20 player all time.

well, reggie was mentioned as one of the 50 greatest when the nba had it's 50th aniversary celebration a few years back. i think that alone says something about reggie being one of this game's finest ever. he is also one of the greatest clutch shooters ever along with jordan and bird. yeh, reggie is not too bad.

Reggie
Never liked the Pacers. Although I had fun watching Bird coach, he is the most emotionless (visually) person I have ever seen coach. Loved it when Reggie played the Knicks, he always pissed Spike Lee off. He was and is extraordinary. He is one of maybe a dozen players in the last couple decades who played like they belonged in a separate league. Reggie Miller isn't just clutch, he defines it. In the dictionary it should say clutch - adj. Reggie Miller. Plain and simple.
