Great, great movie. Imagine if a player today did what Reggie did that night with the choke sign and crouch grabbing. With the 24 hour coverage of sports now a days he would have gotten roasted. I wonder if he got fined for that? Reggie shouldn't feel too bad about not getting to the finals those 2 years. They were not beating the Rockets. Vernon Maxwell would have kept him in check in 94 and Clyde Drexler in 95. And Rik Smits was a pretty good center, but compared to Hakeem the Dream. Child please. Lol.

Re: ESPN 30 for 30: Winning Time - Reggie Miller vs The Knicks
The other great part of this show was how Reggie was always overshadowed by Cheryl.
Funny stuff...
"Dad, we really took it to them tonight. I had a great night."
"That's great son."
"So what did Cheryl do in her game?"
"Oh...what was it Cheryl...105."
"105...what?"
"Yup, 105 points tonight."
I'm only 16-17 and wish I could have seen the NBA the way it was back then.Comment

Re: ESPN 30 for 30: Winning Time - Reggie Miller vs The Knicks
Yeah. I don't think he should have any shame for not getting a ring. He was playing in an era with MJ, the Rocket teams that you mentioned, as well as Kobe & Shaq. The Pacers, in the Reggie era, had a lot of great teams, but I don't think they were ever the best team in the league in any given year. Someone was always better.
They took MJ's Bulls to the wire in the 97 Conference Finals. And of course MJ's Bulls were THE franchise back then.
Those Pacers team had size, depth, and solid D. I wouldn't blindly say they would have no shot against those teams.AUBURN TIGERS

Re: ESPN 30 for 30: Winning Time - Reggie Miller vs The Knicks
I don't think it's that much of a stretch, the '94 Houston team wasn't that great - the only team outside of the '04 Pistons without two superstars to win a title.
The Knicks took 'em to 7 games without a 2nd star to back Ewing and some doo-doo offense - and with Pat getting BADLY outplayed by Hakeem. I think Indiana would have won at least two games against Houston in 1994, 1995 would have been ugly though."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

Re: ESPN 30 for 30: Winning Time - Reggie Miller vs The Knicks
Same thing but that's not the point. I'm saying that despite the fact that the Knicks' best player was vastly outplayed, and without another star on the roster, they still took Houston to 7 and were one shot away from winning in six.

Re: ESPN 30 for 30: Winning Time - Reggie Miller vs The Knicks
Doesn't matter. Indiana's points wouldn't have come from the center position.
New York had NO ONE like Reggie on their squad at the guard position. Add Dale and Antonio down low with Smits to help against Hakeem, and I don't see why Indy would have been slaughtered by Houston like so many on here wrongly believe they would.AUBURN TIGERS

The Knicks starting 5 were >>>>>> the Pacers starting 5
And the Knicks backcourt had an incredible finals. Let's say Starks and Derek Harper combined would've matched Reggie's output...then what?
I think the Rockets would've probably swept the Pacers.Comment

Again, if Hakeem completely busted Ewing's ***...he would've torched the Pacers' Centers.

Harper, Starks < Jackson, Miller
You are smoking crack if you think the Rockets would sweep the Pacers.
My Pacers whipped your Knicks quite a few times and that squad had enough talent all the way around to play with anyone. They damn sure wouldn't have gotten swept.
And no...not in a million years could Starks/Harper match what Reggie could do when Reggie was "on".
When Reggie was on...he was nearly unstoppable from outside.
The Davis Boys and Smits were more than adequate to complement the Pacers backcourt.AUBURN TIGERS
