Reggie Miller

Court and Net Team Sports

Reggie Miller is an American former professional basketball player, born on August 24, 1965, who spent his entire 18-year National Basketball Association career with the Indiana Pacers. He is widely seen as one of the greatest shooters in league history, known for precise three-point shooting under pressure, above all against the New York Knicks, which earned him the nickname Knick Killer. He was a five-time All-Star, was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2012 and was named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team in 2021. He played college basketball at UCLA, earning third-team All-American honors as a junior in 1986, and Indiana selected him 11th overall in the 1987 draft. He retired holding the record for career three-point field goals, led the league in free throw percentage five times and won a gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics. The Pacers retired his number 31 in 2006, and he is widely regarded as the greatest player in the franchise's history. He later worked as an NBA commentator for TNT and a college basketball analyst for CBS Sports.
