Reggie Miller’s Hall Of Fame Speech (VIDEO)

Admits he pushed off on Greg Anthony and Michael Jordan.

Universally loved and despised by basketball fans and players alike, Reggie Miller closed Friday’s Hall of Fame induction ceremonies with a funny, touching tribute. Reggie let MJ and Greg Anthony know he indeed pushed off in two of the more memorable moments in NBA Playoff history; said he was excited to be inducted with “Silk” Wilkes, who had a similarly awkward shot; reminisced on playing pick-up against Magic at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion; and recounted how large of an influence his sister, Cheryl, had on his career.

Well done, Reggie.

    yeah, i mean i realize why Miller is in and Moncrief isn’t. I just personally don’t agree with it. Still, I don’t see any excuse to keep out Bernard King who was literally better than Reggie in every single way but shooting.

    I think King just rubbed people the wrong way, personally I loved the fire in his game, but he was rumored to be sort of a dick to reporters. He’ll probably get the nod postmortem just for spite.

    he apparently did, but the HOF Comittee isn’t all former or current media members. The whole selection process is a mystery. “Full transparency? Colangelo backed away from that in February when the 2010 Hall nominees were announced over All-Star Weekend in Dallas. “In order to have a process that’s clean, you can’t have people know who’s on the committee, because you don’t want people soliciting votes,” he said then. “I think that’s really unhealthy. I’ll know who’s on the committee and it will be my judgment how we get the kind of transparency I believe we need.” –

    Yeah but past media members and current media members probably make up enough of the committee to keep him out. That article was a great read and the attached video gave me new found respect for DJ. Thank You for that.

    Unfortunately you are probably right about that.

    No doubt man, I like to share whatever basketball related info and resources I can. I’m just glad that I am not posting them for nothing.
