Reggie Miller

Reggie Miller holds the NBA three-point field goal record with 2,560 career three-pointers. He also ranks 12th in total points (25,279), seventh in free throw percentage (0.888), sixth in minutes played (47,619), and he played in 1,389 games.

The Pacers retired Miller's number 31 jersey in a ceremony on March 30, 2006 at Conseco Fieldhouse.

As a child, Miller didn’t seem destined for NBA fame. He was born with leg deformities, which caused an inability to walk correctly. After a few years of wearing braces on both legs, his leg strength grew enough to compensate. Being from an athletic family – his brother Darrell is a former major league catcher; his sister Tammy played volleyball at Cal State-Fullerton, and his sister Cheryl is in the Basketball Hall of Fame – Miller turned his attention toward competitive sports.

Miller played basketball as a student at UCLA and was selected by the Indiana Pacers with the 11th pick of the first round of the 1987 NBA draft. He played for the Pacers until his retirement in 2005. In 1995, he became the first Indiana Pacer to start in an NBA All-Star game, and played on the All-Star team in 1990, 1995, 1996, 1998 and 2000.

Miller was a member of the gold medal-winning Olympic men's basketball team in 1996 and of the Team USA for the 1994 and 2002 World Championships. But he truly became a household name in 1994 during the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Knicks for his phenomenal shooting performance in game five of the series. He scored 39 points, 25 of which came in the fourth quarter of the Pacers' 93-86 victory at Madison Square Garden. Miller made several long three-pointers during the quarter and engaged in an animated discussion of his ongoing performance with noted Knicks fan Spike Lee, who was seated courtside. The win gave the Pacers a 3-2 series lead over the heavily favored Knicks.

The following year, at the Eastern Conference Semifinals on May 7, 1995, Miller scored eight points in the last 8.9 seconds of game one against the Knicks, leading the Pacers to a 107-105 victory. He buried a three-point shot, stole the inbounds pass, walked back behind the arc and buried another three-point shot. Two free throws later, Miller had pulled off the legendary feat.

A consistently excellent player throughout his career, Miller retired on high note. On April 11, 2005 in a game against the Toronto Raptors, Miller passed Jerry West to move into 12th place on the NBA's all-time scoring list. He played more games with the same team than all but two players in NBA history (John Stockton and Karl Malone of the Utah Jazz).

Miller joined Turner Sports in 2005 as a basketball analyst and provides features throughout the year on the networks Emmy Award-winning studio show, Inside the NBA. He also provides game-site analysis with the network’s highly acclaimed remote crews. He served as guest host of the network television talk show Regis and Kelly and is a weekly contributor to The Dan Patrick Show on ESPN Radio. Previously, Miller covered the WNBA for the Lifetime Network.
