I am MJ fan and I like Reggie because of all his battles against him. This guys pushed their limits when compete each other. Big respect for Reggie, so honest and proper guy.
I remember being an 11 year old kid when Chicago and Indy played in the 1998 eastern conference finals. Looking back on it now Reggie was extremely underrated during his matchups with MJ and the bulls during his career. Mad respect for that era ✊🏽🏀
I remember that ECF in 98. Reggie and the Pacers had me scared SHITLESS, standing in front of my grandmother's TV thinking they were going to beat the Bulls in that game 7. No blowout by the Bulls. The game wasn't decided until the final minutes....Literally!
As a lifelong Bulls fan, who has gone back and watched these games, the Bulls (especially MJ) got so many calls. Must have been terrible to play against.
What you saw Dan - is a really weak era NBA basketball. You had a handful of must see players - everyone else sucked. That is the answer to your question Dan.
I'd be mad too if I was punched in the face and I got the technical, the other guy didn't. Or having to play with the "Jordan Rules". And knowing what a jerk Jordan really was and no one knew about it bc media and league protected him.
Jordan wasn't a jerk you moron he was a real man and an alpha not some soft sissy like you "guys" are nowadays. His mentality made him the greatest while your mentality makes you a pussy
I don't know... Reggie was definitely a more dangerous shooter but would you rather be the GOAT clutch shooter or the GOAT clutch player? Being the GOAT clutch player includes the buzzer beaters and last second shots that Reggie is known for but also includes making plays to put games out of reach so that buzzer beaters are not needed.. It includes defensive plays like the steal that MJ got against NJ in 98 that sealed a playoff win. It means being clutch for the last 5 mins not just hitting a shot within the last 5 seconds. When you look at it that way, MJ is miles away from Reggie and has the rings to show for it.
Jordan was asked to leave the NBA because he was point shaving. An addicted gambler, he was ruining the NBA and was asked by David Stern to step away. He was quoted saying "I will return, when they let me." That's the real story.
This is the dumbest comment I have ever read. Jordan increased the popularity of the NBA and made everyone money . The Bull sold out every arean they played , rock stars . The NBA lost money while Jordan was away . Please stop with this fooishness, someone might believe it.
@@SpeakEnglishwithHelptoachieve imagine the amount of money the NBA would lose if the league's superstar was caught in a Pete rose situation. Credibility would be lost forever.

This is the real feelings of Reggie towards MJ, love it! The one he told about his rookie preseason where he said he never talked trash to MJ ever again after that, that was lip service. Love the 90s.
Osh Ick I’ve been a Pacers fan since before Reggie Miller was even drafted. Reggie is a deserved Hall of Famer, but he is not an all time top 50 player.
I have 60 players better than reggie..and in upcoming years many more will surpass him like a zion luka giannis and many others ...reggie put up stats cause he played so many minutes for teams without benches yet he still could not dominate a game unless his shot was on...he was a putrid rebounder defender and passer for a top 50 all time player level guy...he just was not all around that good....he could shoot it and thats great but so could jason terry an rashard lewis and pedrag
@@razkable well that analysis sucked. Reggie had a good floor game, actually. let's let Zion and the rest have a career first. on that note tho, where do you rank guys like Penny and Grant Hill?
This is comical. Reggie is a career 18/3/3 guy, stop it! Klay is a top modern era SG and is 19.5/3.5/2.5 and IMO a much, much better player than Miller ever was. He also is trying to get touches playing with Steph/KD. Reggie was a very questionable HOFer. He is no where near sniffing the top 50, just stop it!
I have no problem with people saying M.J. is the goat, no problem at all...but a lot of you act like nobody was supposed to go at him, or say anything about going at him...Reggie Miller was the classic overachiever, nobody thought he would be as good as he ended up being...he played in the same division as M.J. & went toe to toe with him many times & more than held his own...y'all fanboys gotta stop it man, Reggie was a helluva a player & if that's how he feels that's how he feels...
I think as a scorer mj was in his own league but overall lebron is right there...people need to chill on mj being that above everyone else overall..as a scorer yes but overall?..no...this is the issue with the mj is goat people...he is the goat but goat player career talent scorer and overall impact are all different things...kareem had a better career than lebron but i'm not putting him over lebron cause I saw him miss playoffs in his prime without magic or oscar...talent wise lebron had more talent than anyone...impact mj wins winning you have to say russell..scorer is either wilt kareem or mj...for me mj is goat but to say hes far above a kareem or lebron is a lie...or a wilt...
Reggie is a legend in his own mind. Yes, Reggie was a great shooter. That's it, he was a good player. He's in the HOF but...not deserving. The Reggie Millers bring down the HOF IMO. There are a lot of great competitors in the history of sports, not all are great players.
@@donsremodeling you honestly don't think he deserves to be in the Hall? Arguably the greatest clutch shooter ever, when the whole arena knew he was getting the ball...Robert Horry was a clutch shooter, but he was never the man on his team & never had plays drawn up for him in those situations...Reggie doesn't have the most gaudy stats, but he produced when it counted most
See... this is why even MJ fans respect Reggie. The dude put up an epic fight. But come interview time... we get to see what's behind the curtain. And MJ would be nothing without real competitors to challenge him. And the Pacers was one of two teams to get the Bulls to game 7. And I didn't forget the 8 points in 9 seconds. One of the most exciting games I ever seen. And proof Reggie was one of the most clutch players ever. He really pulled a Michael Jordan in that game. But Michael... pulled a Michael Jordan in almost every game... so... yeah. I get the hate. And I don't even think it is hate. It's ... look. I don't like being told I suck at my job. I don't like being lazy. I don't like falling behind. So why would basketball players. I guess some do... but not Michael. Not Reggie. Michael and Reggie have more in common than people realize. Michael was beaten by his older brother Larry. Reggie had Cheryl. And no, I'm not going to say anything sexist about. Just that having an older sibling to compete with, makes you stronger. And both of these guys had that.
I think where fans go wrong, and I had to make this adjustment too, is they don't put themselves in, or really understand, the mind of an *ultra-competitor*. What fuels Reggie to be so great and clutch in big moments is the will and belief that he can not and will not be stopped by anyone or anything. The amount of work required to build the skill to shoot so well, then take that skill and apply it at the highest level in the highest of leverage moments is driven and fueled by that same mindset which *requires* a level of obsession that simply can't be turned off ever completely.
What people don't understand about Jordan is, he applies extreme pressure and fortifies every part that is required for him to blast through any and every object in his competitive path and part of that *requires* him to be very sensitive to ANYTHING that can be seen as a slight, sign of disrespect, or anything remotely resembling doubt or the questioning of his capacity to blast through that object at will and that fuels him to apply even more pressure to the rigidity and extreme intensity of his training in order to achieve that task. With that in mind, it makes absolute sense why he and Isiah don't like each other till this day and it damn sure has nothing to do with blown out of proportion walk-off. Jordan used to trash Isiah and Bird on talk shows and interviews as being the dirtiest players in the game before that even happened. If anything, it was Jordan who was the disrespectful one. People act like it was Isiah himself who was slamming Jordan around.
If Reggie had done what LeBron did and jumped ship to another team and chase rings he would have had more rings than LeBron. FACTS. That's how good Reggie was. A real winner.
Man... I just admire the hell out of this great player who worked hard at his game...young players of today’s need to watch and learn from his offensive movements without the ball instead of the stationary/iso offenses of today
Reggie is one of the best during the 90's. It's just that the Bulls and the Pacers are in the same conference and yeah, they can't pass the Bulls during playoffs. Reggie bringing the game to MJ, was a great match up every time. Reggie never backed down to MJ, that's competition man!
No one knew how good MJ would be? Then why did Bobby knight call him the greatest player he’d ever seen during the 1984 Olympics? Also Dean Smith forced him to leave college.
I saw an interview of Bobby Knight and can't ever see find this part of it again. But apparently Knight was talking to someone in Portland about Jordan and giving his opinion, greatest ever stuff. The person working for Portland( I don't know if it was GM or coach) said but we need a center. Knight told them " Well draft Jordan and play him at center." Lol
Back in 1984 professional players weren't allowed in the Olympics.Jordan was drafted by the Bulls but hadn't played for them yet. Because the olympics came after the draft many people say it would have affected the draft rankings after Jordan's olympic performance. But back in the day Olajuwon still might have gone first overall because centres that had his skill set didn't come along everyday and Michael wasn't Michael yet..
J Olajuwon did not possess the same skill set as a rookie/college player as he did in his prime years. There was no dream shaking going on. He was just athletic and quick. At that time Houston already had 7’4” even more of a freak athlete Ralph Sampson. They were the main team who could have and should have passed on Hakeem. This was before Ralph became injury prone. Also That 84 team played against the NbA all stars of the 80s in a srcrimmage and MJ absolutely killed those guys. Bobby Knight witnessed all that
If you watch the interviews from back then they even said Jordan wasn’t that tall. Remember a lot of offence went through the bigs down low. It was an accomplishment to even be drafted at 3rd overall. The Chicago GM Thorn even said they knew Jordan was good... but not this good!!
J Well of course no one thought MJ would become the GOAT. That’s not my argument. My point is that MJ clearly could score. He had games at UNC where he flat out took over. There is a reason he was a 2x player of the year (over Akeem and Bowie) at UNC. So while the Rockets already had a 7’4” star in Ralph Sampson, it would have made perfect sense to draft MJ at that time. That was before Sampson became injury prone. If you don’t know who Sampson is, please go look him up. He had the potential to be a top 5 player ever. 7’4 with David Robinson’s game.
Eh, I dunno. Derrick McKey, largely forgotten and unappreciated in his day, was a tremendous defender who could nearly shut down Karl Malone. Malone might get his 20, but 16 of those would be on fast breaks or when McKey was on the bench
Reggie is wrong about no one seeing the injuries with Sam Bowie before he was drafted. Sam missed 2 whole years at Kentucky with stress fractures to his leg.
MJ locked you down in game 7 of 98 ECF. Zero point in the 4th. Pippen couldn't guard you. You're a true warrior, Reggie. As all of the hand-check era players.
Yup, B-night knew. He gave the Bulls heads up to draft him... Can't say MJ didn't know also, but he was showing respect and restraint during the interview when he said, he thinks he could help the Bulls. Great stuff!!!!
Always remember Reggie took down the knicks in the years MJ wasn’t there. He was one clutch shooter. Love his honesty and sense of humor in these interviews.
People have no clue how good hakeem was. No clue? You had to pick him #1 and I'm from Chicago and a die hard jordan fan by far the greatest but picking hakeem #1 was a no brainer. And he had a hell of a career. People forget hakeem went to the finals either his first or second year. They don't run into that 86 celtics team which is famous for jordan dropping 63 on them but got swept. Hakeem has 3 titles instead of 2. And houston kind of dismantled the team after that and he really had no help until the mid 90s whem they won
MR E yes, I know I grew up in the 80s and 90s watching Jordan destroy my Knicks, hated his guts. But I’m over it. He sounds like he couldn’t take some of the trash Jordan dished out, when he was one of the most annoying players. I don’t hate Reggie, and I think he has done a good job as an analyst, but he did come out as a sore loser in this interview
W McArthur I respectfully disagree, he said that towards the end, once Dan Patrick made him realize that he was sounding a bit to bitter, Dan even asked if it was something more personal that him and Jordan said to each other (hence my previous comment) and Reggie made it seem like that was the case. Only towards the end he tried to correct himself saying he loved Jordan. As far as understanding 90s basketball, I don’t know what you mean. I watched the bulls beat the knicks through the 90s, So I was always heartbroken and bitter at the end of every season. I know about animosity and hurt, granted, I am not a player and my hurt as a fan doesn’t compare as a professional athlete competing, but again, at some point you have to get over it...anyway, thanks for your comment.
@@stingrey1571 no sir..if you listen to his response on the questions Dan asked him.about what would he do if he was to sit down with MJ...he paused for a few seconds and said he would hit him ...Bruh that's not being competitive..That's bitterness and jealousy ...And if you heard Reggie feelings towards Scottie is totally different on how he feels about MJ....now he maynot admit it but his displeasure on Jordan coming back an winning three more chips..man please..that joker is bitter and jealous period..
@@vitosmith8195 Actually no that's being mad that Jordan hit Reggie and the refs so blatantly were biased and gave the tech to Reggie. Lebron would kill Jordan.

I loved watching Reggie play, I have not really followed the NBA since Reggie retired
Games at Market Square Arena WERE the 90's in Indy. Miller time. Pacers vs. Bulls, Knicks, ...

Eh, I dunno. Derrick McKey, largely forgotten and unappreciated in his day, was a tremendous defender who could nearly shut down Karl Malone. Malone might get his 20, but 16 of those would be on fast breaks or when McKey was on the bench
Eisen keeps digging for something negative, this is the NBA trash talk and intimidation was part of the game.
Ugh I miss my Sonics!
" Dude, we already know who you are!!! " ......omg lol
I love how Reggie processes all this. Phenomenal competitor.
Reggie is wrong about no one seeing the injuries with Sam Bowie before he was drafted. Sam missed 2 whole years at Kentucky with stress fractures to his leg.
MJ locked you down in game 7 of 98 ECF. Zero point in the 4th. Pippen couldn't guard you.
You're a true warrior, Reggie. As all of the hand-check era players.
@42brownbomber What's probably the craziest is that Jordan doesn't even really sleep! Literally just a couple hours a night if that
Zero points, and the only FG attempt was a badly shot airball.
Dan Patrick's voice is so refreshing to listen too. I've always loved his show id sit and watch/listen to it for hours every day.
Such a great man. Lots of respect to regie. Man enough to admit.
I love how he calls him Theodore. Lol
"so mentally strong" "you couldn't crack this dude."
Bobby Knight knew.
Yup, B-night knew. He gave the Bulls heads up to draft him... Can't say MJ didn't know also, but he was showing respect and restraint during the interview when he said, he thinks he could help the Bulls. Great stuff!!!!
Fun interview..
Always remember Reggie took down the knicks in the years MJ wasn’t there. He was one clutch shooter. Love his honesty and sense of humor in these interviews.
The knicks won the 94 eastern conference finals against Reggie
Terrance Bennett I thought Knicks was going to dominate the East when MJ left, given they were the toughest MJ faced. But Reggie beat them in 95.
I loved watching Reggie torch Starks
Happenchance???
Lol...new to me
People have no clue how good hakeem was. No clue? You had to pick him #1 and I'm from Chicago and a die hard jordan fan by far the greatest but picking hakeem #1 was a no brainer. And he had a hell of a career. People forget hakeem went to the finals either his first or second year. They don't run into that 86 celtics team which is famous for jordan dropping 63 on them but got swept. Hakeem has 3 titles instead of 2. And houston kind of dismantled the team after that and he really had no help until the mid 90s whem they won
Reggie Miller : Ain't no nobody scared of you dude, bring it .
MJ : Your sister the only Miller worth mentioning . that's a mighty cute haircut tho .
So what's the verdict. Would the MJ-less bulls have won against the rockets to win the chips in 94 & 95?
Killer Miller
Cry no champ
Sam Bowie had many injury issues in college. But draft research and such was very primitive then.
6:13 Of course, there's always THE team that fans root for as visitors. They are called the Lakers.
23 miller knows it, he knows who is the real king 23 rules :)
Bobby Knight already knew!
Jordan was brought up with class :)
Good 'ol Reggie, an entitled broomstick with a seizure for a jumpshot, always in awe he didn't win it all, and forever and quite proudly butthurt.
thanks Reggie for mentioning about Ref and Bulls being cash cow..
you cant hurts my feelings lmao the guy is still crying and angry after all these years.he is obviouslys jealouse.
Poor guy is butt hurt. Has to remember being owned by the GOAT
Reggie, get over it dude!! Lost a little respect for him after this interview.
bro it was different different back in the day
MR E yes, I know I grew up in the 80s and 90s watching Jordan destroy my Knicks, hated his guts. But I’m over it. He sounds like he couldn’t take some of the trash Jordan dished out, when he was one of the most annoying players. I don’t hate Reggie, and I think he has done a good job as an analyst, but he did come out as a sore loser in this interview
You dpnt understand 90 bsketball ....He said there is no animosity , there is hurt . He always praises MJ and the bulls
W McArthur I respectfully disagree, he said that towards the end, once Dan Patrick made him realize that he was sounding a bit to bitter, Dan even asked if it was something more personal that him and Jordan said to each other (hence my previous comment) and Reggie made it seem like that was the case. Only towards the end he tried to correct himself saying he loved Jordan.
As far as understanding 90s basketball, I don’t know what you mean. I watched the bulls beat the knicks through the 90s, So I was always heartbroken and bitter at the end of every season. I know about animosity and hurt, granted, I am not a player and my hurt as a fan doesn’t compare as a professional athlete competing, but again, at some point you have to get over it...anyway, thanks for your comment.
Do you know what its like to give your everything to a craft and not reach its pinnacle? You can move on but you never forget
#1 LARRY BIRD NOT MJ
That's a more legitimate argument than Lebron tbh
Reggie got it bad...very jealous of MJ's.. success...
i dont think he's jealous. he's just competitive. they battled one on one, not just their teams, personally and physically for 15 years.
@@stingrey1571 no sir..if you listen to his response on the questions Dan asked him.about what would he do if he was to sit down with MJ...he paused for a few seconds and said he would hit him ...Bruh that's not being competitive..That's bitterness and jealousy ...And if you heard Reggie feelings towards Scottie is totally different on how he feels about MJ....now he maynot admit it but his displeasure on Jordan coming back an winning three more chips..man please..that joker is bitter and jealous period..
@@vitosmith8195 Actually no that's being mad that Jordan hit Reggie and the refs so blatantly were biased and gave the tech to Reggie. Lebron would kill Jordan.
@@JQ1115 oh ...now I see lol...MJ...THE GOAT😁
@@JQ1115 and you forgot.
. Reggie shoved him first..so Reggie started it with his jealous bitter antics
