The first year he was eligible, he didn't even get enough votes to be on the final ballot. The next year he gets enough votes for final ballot AND gets voted in!?!??!!?!?
Very shady and a joke.
Wow, only a 5x All Star? Wasn't he in the league for like 15 years and a member of Team USA? :wtf:

2 time NBA champ and Finals MVP Willis Reed didn't make his his first year if eligibility.

But Reggie's first year he didn't even make the cut to be considered for the HOF.
I would bet Willis at least made the cut for consideration to be voted in his 1st year.

Some players don't make the cut the first time around. Chris Webber didn't make it this past season but he's sure to make at least the ballot for 2015.

led a team to the Finals at 34 years old...averaged 24/2/3 for the post-season, 21.8 PER, 60%TS, .195 WS/48, 122 ORTG. AT 34 YEARS OLD. This man is a HOFer.
Wow, didn't realize he shot 1/16 in the First game of the Finals. That GOATbe defense.

Just seems weird that a guy isn't good enough to even make the final ballot one year, yet the next year he makes the final cut and gets voted in.

He's a career 18-3-3 guy with 3 all nba teams and no MVP's. The only thing he's remembered for is his FT and 3pt shooting, flopping and the incident with Spike Lee.
The only reason he's in is because it's called the Basketball HOF and not the NBA HOF

OK, if ISH doesn't think Reggie is going to the HoF, what about Ray Ray? :confusedshrug:

Sprewell didn't play on the Knicks? Granted, he did play in Golden State half his career, but he went to NY in his prime (27 yrs old). Not to mention that Allen played in the East on the Bucks...Also, why did you leave out Penny or AI? He went against these guys routinely. Steve Smith played in Miami and Atlanta in the 90s.
And what's so funny about Reggie being a legend? He's the greatest Pacer ever. An Icon in Indiana.

You don't have to avg 25 point and 10 boards as a big or 22 points and 5 assist as a guard to make the Hall of Fame.
Reggie Miller is a Hall of Fame player. First of all, he's famous. So the fame part is covered. Second, he's had a hell of a career. He's had great playoff moments. More than others in the Hall of Fame. Alex English, Chris Mullin, Pistol Pete, have any playoff moments that just jump out at you?
He has 3 All-NBA teams, that's more than Nate Thurmond, Alonzo Mourning, Dennis Rodman, Adrian Dantley have.
He has 5 All-Star appearances. That's more than Earl Monroe, Walt Bellamy, Bill Bradley have.
He has over 25,000 Points. That's more than Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Scottie Pippen, Gary Payton.

How's he overrated?
No one said he was the best player in the league at any given time. No one even said he was a top 5 player at any time.

Those games against the Knicks probably caused him to get overrated.
He was a good player for a long period of time, but fairly one dimensional. A pretty decent number of SGs were better.
I liked Reggie though, all those moments in MSG. Everyone remembers 94 and 95, but he also killed the Knicks in game 4 of 1998, which pretty much ended the series (put Indiana up 3-1 with HCA).
That ridiculous bank shot in 2002 against the Nets was another memorable moment too, even if he really didn't beat the clock.

Bolded are better than most SG's in the 90's except MJ and possibly Drexler.
Manu is a darkhorse so I'm not sure.
Everyone else would be a scrub.
Some ignorant posts in this thread, but we've been over Reggie a million times, just do a forum search. I'ma leave this one alone.....The all-star appearance issue takes the cake though, lol......

Don't, just don't. He hates all things Pacers......Just let it go......
