Retired from the courts for 16 years, Reggie Miller continues to follow the NBA from his commentary position for TNT. A true expert in the game, the former shooter did not really demonstrate this quality on his last “hot take” about James Harden and Kevin Durant.
In view of this funny statement, American viewers must have rejoiced to have been entitled to the comments of Grant Hill, and not his, during the meeting. Channel consultant TNT since 2005, Reggie Miller can boast of having been able to closely follow a hundred NBA games in recent years.
Logic would therefore want his analyzes never to exceed a certain threshold of eccentricity. The former Pacers has yet proved that he defied all logic following Game 5 between Nets and Bucks, which was held this Tuesday. Worried about the 48 minutes played by Kevin Durant, and the 46 contested by James Harden, he slipped an unlikely suggestion to Steve Nash.
I’m just going to throw this out there to see what the responses will be.. If your Steve Nash and the Nets, would you sit James Harden AND Kevin Durant in Game 6 because of the heavy minutes tonight, and push all your chips to the center of table for Game 7??

I’m just going to throw that in there to see what the answers are going to be… If you’re Steve Nash and the Nets, would you rest James Harden AND Kevin Durant on Game 6 because of the big minutes they played this? evening, and put all your chips in the middle of the table for Game 7 ??
Just considering this possibility can sound pretty crazy for a player as experienced as Uncle Reg. Isaiah Thomas did not hesitate to let him know!
Reggie now that would NOT be smart OG lol…

Reggie, that wouldn’t be smart my old man lol …
The average netizens have also adopted an incredulous reaction to this tweet from the Knick Killer.
Mr. Miller,
With all due respect, the hell is this?

As a Reggie Miller fan, that’s the dumbest question ever … She’s in the Top 3 easily.
Responses of the kind are legion on the famous social network, some obviously proving to be wilder than others. That of StatMuse, a site specializing in statistical data, falls into the latter category. The media indeed used its own Q&A page to stage a violent tackle for Reggie.

– Has Reggie Miller ever coached in an NBA game?
– Reggie Miller has never coached in a basketball game in his career, and for good reason.
Instead of throwing around this absurd idea, even without necessarily sharing it, Reggie Miller would have done better to be silent, and to salute the victory of the Nets. His “Mighty Mouth” will have failed him this time.
