Fearless Rookie REGGIE MILLER Challenges Peak MICHAEL JORDAN! (14th November, 1987)

This is the first professional matchup between Reggie Miller and Michael Jordan. A rookie with only four games played in the NBA prior to this, against the greatest player ever at his absolute peak, and in what is arguably one of the most dominant seasons ever from an individual standpoint (he would end up winning the MVP and the DPOY in that 1987-1988 season).
Reggie performed pretty well considering the odds, showing no signs of fear and coming out the bench to score 20 points in 22 minutes of action. He even helped the Indiana Pacers pull an improbable comeback in Chicago's turf. With 11 seconds left in the game and trailing by 4 points, Reggie scored a clutch three after faking out Jordan. Then, Chuck Person sealed the deal with a game winning jumper. The Bulls had a final chance with 1 second left and trailing by a point, but MJ couldn't score the basket in a rare missed game winner.
Anyway, really hope you enjoy this. Here's the boxscore: www.basketball...

Pippen's rookie year also.

Reggie came in the league with the clutch gene. Even though Mike missed the game winner, he was never afraid to take the big shot
