Lebron has 4 mvps by the way. Steph gonna get there? I suppose thats just a sure thing now because of a really good 1.5 years?

he'll likely win this year, so i don't think it's out of the realm of possibility at all for him to get 4

even if he just wins 3, but wins a few more rings that's pretty much enough to cement his legendary status

Oh well sure. I guess I just didnt realize that was automatic at this point.

key word: likely

Miller choked in the playoffs against:

Pistons
Knicks
Magic
Hawks
Bulls
Knicks (8 seeded)
Lakers
Sixers
Nets
Pistons



Guy spent his entire career losing to damn near every team in the Eastern Conference. Only one noteworthy series against the Bulls unless i'm spacing...

Remember this? Lol Jordan clawed Reggie's face and punched him. Reggie gets ejected and Jordan stays in the game. Guy was untouchable.

Team verb on this one. Calling Curry a "legend" at this point is kinda ridiculous. He's averaging just over 20 points and just under 7 assists a game for his career. He only has 4 seasons averaging 20 or more points a game. This will only be his third season as an all-star and as I said earlier in this thread, this is really just his 2nd season as a "decent to good" defender.

"Legends" in the NBA tend to have 10 to 15 years of all-star level play and Curry really only has 3 of those years (counting this year).

Also, Reggie is not a legend. He was a suspect defender, a poor passer and probably never even a top 10 player in the league.

This, Reggie is one of the most overrated players of the last 20 years. A good to great player, but not a legend. Also, he is usually terrible as a color commentator.

[verb_to_trust]

He is unwatchable on TNT

[nyquillyn]

I'll take Cheryl over Reggie, both as a player and as a commentator.

If Reggie was a legend he would have made the original Dream Team.

guys, reggie miller was the subject of a 30 for 30 episode. i don't think you understand what being a legend means.

[verb_to_trust]

He talked some shit to Spike after the Knicks made some dumb turnovers. Big deal. Spoiler: the knicks won that series in 7.

[nyquillyn]

LOL at Reggie saying he was the second best shooting guard in the Jordan era. Drexler, Richmond and Dumars were all considerably better.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Reggie Miller is the Cris Carter of the NBA

[lennytheweedwhacker]

if miller's not a legend then i don't know who is

[verb_to_trust]

All the people who were considerably better and actually accomplished things?

put pippen on the pacers and they would have done the same, maybe worse...replace pippen with miller and the bulls would have won more decisively

I love you lenny, but Pippen > Miller any day.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

you guys are crazy and clearly homer bulls fans

So replacing your HOF small forward who does literally everything on the court well with a one dimensional shooter who would have played backup to the Goat would have helped the bulls?. Rick Smits would have helped the Bulls more than Miller.
