Reggie Miller, a retired professional basketball player, is frequently acknowledged as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history. Miller overcame a childhood leg deformity to become a standout athlete. After distinguishing himself at UCLA, leading to his jersey number 31 being retired by the institution, he was drafted 11th overall by the Indiana Pacers in 1987. Miller devoted his entire 18-year NBA career to the Pacers, becoming the franchise's all-time leading scorer, a five-time NBA All-Star, and a three-time All-NBA Third Team member. His jersey number 31 was also retired by the Pacers in 2006.
Recognized for his clutch performances, three-point shooting, and leadership on and off the court, Miller emerged as one of the league's most formidable competitors. His legendary status was solidified during the 1994 and 1995 NBA Playoffs for his iconic performances against the New York Knicks, including his unforgettable feat of scoring eight points in just 8.9 seconds during Game 1 of the 1995 Eastern Conference Semifinals. Miller led the Pacers to their first and only NBA Finals appearance in 2000, though they were defeated by the Los Angeles Lakers. He was the first Indiana Pacer to start in an NBA All-Star Game, doing so in 1995, and was also selected to the team in 1990, 1996, 1998, and 2000. At the time of his retirement in 2005, Miller held the record for most career three-pointers made, a title he held until 2011, and holds the record for the most seasons (18) played with a single franchise in the NBA, the Pacers.
Following his retirement, Miller transitioned to a successful career as a basketball analyst for TNT and a college basketball analyst for CBS Sports, and he will join NBC as a game analyst for its NBA coverage starting in the 2025–26 season. In 2012, Miller was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, cementing his legacy as one of the NBA’s all-time greats. He was named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team in 2021. Beyond basketball, he has been active in philanthropy and has participated in charity events supporting education and health initiatives.
Off the court, Miller has remained a prominent figure, serving as a mentor to younger players, an ambassador for the sport, and a weekly contributor to "The Dan Patrick Show" on ESPN Radio since June 2005. He also hosted a talk show on WTHR called "The Reggie Miller Show." His impact on the game continues to resonate, as his work ethic, competitiveness, and iconic moments inspire future generations of athletes. Miller, who is part of the "50–40–90 club," achieving this feat in 1994, and also won the USA Basketball Male Athlete of the Year in 2002 and a gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics, resides in California and remains closely connected to the basketball community. He was voted onto the USA Cycling Board of Directors in December 2020. In addition to his sports-related pursuits, Miller has appeared in several films and TV shows such as the comedy film "Uncle Drew" in 2018, the seventeenth season of "Hell's Kitchen" as a guest celebrity athlete, and performed a voice role in the Disney-animated TV series "Hercules".
