Has Reggie Miller been confirmed?

Re: Has Reggie Miller been confirmed?

THANK YOU!!! This is what i have been saying all along, when people talk about Lebron i laugh because what he does Pippen did it and better and he did it in and era of Big men and during a time when teams played defense, as well as during a time when the greatest players played.

Okay I know hating on Lebron is cool now in days but in noway shape or form was Pippen a better player then Lebron.


as a life long Knick fan I have to say Put Reggie Miller in the game. He's a Legend and one of the most feared shooters to ever lace them up.

Re: Has Reggie Miller been confirmed?

I feel like some legends should be DLC. I definitely would pay 1200 Microsoft points for Reggie Miller, Pistol Pete, Penny Hardaway, and most definitely Drazen Petrovic. Would be cool if 2K could implement a Madden Live Moment with legends. Instead of playing full games, we could join on key moments to achieve something, for example, Tracy McGrady 13 points in 33 seconds, Reggie's 8 in 8 or Kobe buzzer beater 3's to force OT and win the game in Portland on the last game of the year in 2006/7?!?

DLC with Legends would be a great idea. As long as they don't purposely withhold certain teams and players just to make extra money. I'd want actual content they couldn't get done by release.I'm definately a DLC junkie.

wait, you're putting lebron over one of the 50 greatest players in nba history?

Re: Has Reggie Miller been confirmed?

1. Pretty sure Lebron is a top 50 player himself, just because the list has not been updated does not mean Kobe and Lebron to name a couple are not in there.
2. Kobe is a .453% career shooter and .337% from 3....that is a pretty big jump up from 42%. Kobe has also already played in 1161 games, showing he can shoot better over a longer career than Iverson did. Don't compare the two. Kobe has a couple of subpar seasons shooting percentage wise and we have people putting him in AI's league of poor shooting/volume shooting. I bet Kobe shoots a lot better this year than his 43% of last year, just a hunch.

Re: Has Reggie Miller been confirmed?

Kobe is a good player.
A.I. was a good player.
Reggie Miller was a good player who is in the HoF, of which the above two Kobe is the only one who will be.

There. All good players.

Fact is; Kobe and AI are in the game, now we want Reggie Miller!

All other ratings debates and comparisons should go in the pro basketball forum, not the 2K NBA video game forum.

Re: Has Reggie Miller been confirmed?

- Those teams made sense in the jordan challenge, and the legends challenge. So what you're saying is because it doesn't serve a purpose don't add it? that's ridiculous. If that's the case why add the 76ers? they really serve no purpose just as much as the pacers do.

Yes, if it doesn't serve a purpose then don't add it.

Which Pacers team do you think should be included in this game? Personally, I don't have a problem if they put one of the teams in there to include him. All I had said before was that there wasn't 1 team that stood out during Reggie's time there that made including him a priority. Maybe the 94 or 95 team with Mark Jackson's revenge on the Knicks would be it, if it were added.

You add the 2001 76ers because they do stand out historically. There wasn't any amount of complaints being put up when it was revealed Iverson would be in the game, and it wasn't any shock when it was the 2001 76ers that got in. They were the #1 seed in the East that year. Iverson won MVP, 1st team All NBA, scoring title, All Star Game MVP, led the league in steals, & then carried a team full of misfits to the NBA Finals as the clear leader of the team. I dont see how the Pistons are more memorable than this team, outside of the argument used that they were the first team to win without a bonafide superstar player.


- As far as Mark Jackson, you have to remember that as a player he will talk up his teammates rather than other players. If he saw how Reggie operated for so many years as a teammate, I'd think he'd have a higher opinion of him than a fan. Larry Brown coached all 3 players, and he says Iverson was the best player he ever coached. So its debatable, well its not debatable to me, but the comment Mark Jackson made is debatable.

Like who? and if that's the case then you're saying Jordan played in an era full of over rated players, which doesn't make his career look that good. (not a Jordan fan anyway)

No I'm not saying they're all overrated but a lot of people naturally will have higher opinions of all of the superstars & stars of the league back then compared to players of today. The game is now more global but the overall popularity of the NBA was higher back then.

Would you say John Starks was a better SG than Monta Ellis?

I think that question really symbolized that the guys of the 90's who played with or against Jordan just have a bigger legacy than players today.

OK.

I didn't expect this thread would turn into an argument about who was better between Reggie Miller & Iverson.

Re: Has Reggie Miller been confirmed?

For me today's NBA is more exciting to watch, the player are more athletic and the rules favor perimeter players.

For me today's NBA is more exciting to watch. Its a faster pace game. In the 90's it was more of a fiscal game with a slower pace. It was a grind them out and bang them up type of game. Like you said they were about 6 to 7 dominant bigs, that were good on both sides of the floor. Today's NBA don't even have 1 dominate big on the offensive end. I guess its all about you prefer. I rather a faster pace game Dominated by PG, SG,and SF.

Gotta love when kids talk about the past as if they know how it was back then. Today's NBA is a faster pace?

Re: Has Reggie Miller been confirmed?

Once again, as a Lakers fan, I sure as hell remember the 04 Pistons more than the 01 76ers. The Vol fan must be a 76ers fan or Iverson super fan...I have no dog in these fights, just stating how a fan of a team that played all of these teams in the NBA Finals remembers them.

the Pacers that made the finals would be sufficient, i wouldn't complain if they added the same Pacers that played the knicks. I'm not mad the 76ers made the game, The more the better, but don't tell me other teams don't deserve to make it such as the Pacers. This is a team that was irrelevant and one man put them on the map. A Hall of Famer, the most clutch shooter in NBA history, the man that made you watch games to the final seconds he was all around as well and not just a shooter. He might not have an mvp award or led the league in steals but that doesn't at all take away from his greatness. His team accomplished the same as the 76ers so just because iverson won these awards doesn't make his team better or more legendary. They both defeated each other during the playoffs And one could argue that he could have won a championship either in 2000 or before the Palace brawl happened. That was a great team. You can argue for both. Iverson was more popular therefore from his popularity was more "legendary" however, their teams are about even.

Pistons if im not mistaken had six straight Eastern Conference finals appearances. for having no superstar player that is unheard of and that's pretty damn memorable than a one hit wonder team.


and the starks ellis was a bad comparison, even though i see what you mean but starks was an all star, and again im from New York, and i seen the heart he would put out every single game, plus he played defense at a high level. I haven't seen ellis much so i can't speak on him.

Re: Has Reggie Miller been confirmed?

I'd imagine Reggie Miller & either the '99-'00 Pacers or the '97-'98 Pacers being confirmed either today or tomorrow, but that's just me.

Re: Has Reggie Miller been confirmed?

Fan of him or not, how does anyone NOT consider LeBron a top 50 player of all-time, let alone top 10 or top 5. I grew up watching Pippen in the 90's as well, and nothing against Pippen, who is a legit Hall of Famer, but it's not even close who is the better of the two.

And, yeah, with Miller getting into the Hall this week, I think the timing would be great to announce he's in the game. Hey, maybe 2K will surprise us with a couple more Olympic teams; that would be cool. 1996 and 2008, maybe? Probably won't happen, though.

[ojandpizza]

I grew up watching the 80s and 90s and I by no means think today's games is boring.. It's different sure, but boring? Some people just refuse to like or enjoy anything that isn't "back in my day".. I swear it's ridiculous to only like the 90s.. I bet 70%-80% of the 90s era fans make the same damn argument all the time, players before then played no competition or weren't athletic enough, and payers today's are so weak, and it's a sissy league, or it's boring..

Things change, it happens.. A true fan of basketball should enjoy any era of the NBA, not be stuck in the 60s and suck Wilt and Russells nutts, or the 80s-90s and only like Bird, Magic, Jordan.. Or only love today's game and players like Kobe, LeBron, Durant..

Limiting such a great sport and great game to something as small and acting like nothing else can compare is ridiculous..

[ojandpizza]

And Reggie is by no means an elite level player.. Clutch, gritty, fearless? Yes he's all of those things.. But what has he ever done? No rings, no MVPs, doesn't even have great stats to back him up.. Like literally what has he done for people to put him so much higher than many deserving players.. A few unforgettable clutch games and big moments against the Knicks isn't even to completely void the fact that he's had a mediocre-above average career... His biggest accomplishments I can think of are 3 all NBA 3rd team honors.. That's just sooo damn impressive.

And I'm not trying to hate, Reggie is one of my favorite players of all time, I loved his style of play.. If more players would learn from him and create plays without the ball the game would be much better.. But me personally liking him isn't going to warrant me overrating his career or being biased to the way I judge him..

Re: Has Reggie Miller been confirmed?

wait, what?

Sorry, this was a fail post. Lebron, according to many, is already in the top 50 of all time list, some even put him in the top 20...already. And he is better than scottie pippen...

(not a lebron fan by the way)



-but lets please stay on topic. WE WANT REGGIE! (not in dlc, but on realease) !
