NBA Great Reggie Miller still haunted by a flaw in the career

Reggie Miller had to complain little about his NBA career.

Once he was the League's career 3 point shooter. He played in an NBA final. He is a member of the Hall of Fame.

This is satisfactory for most.

He still has regret for Miller.

He never won a championship for the Indiana Pacers.

“It will always follow me that I haven't” won a chip, “said Miller during an appearance in all the Smoke Podcast.” It wouldn't follow me so much if I was never so close. “

While others like Charles Barkley play their lack of titles, Müller still has no rings. He had several options. In 1994 the Pacers lost to the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference final. Next year she lost to Orlando Magic on the same stage. In 1998 they fell back into the Chicago Bulls led by Michael Jordan in seven games.

In 2000, Miller finally made it to the final, just to lose against the Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant Los Angeles Lakers.

“I had chances,” said Miller. “It hurts. I had chances and it only burns me because you want to win it for the boys in this changing room that runs through a wall for you when you are the man.”
