    Who was he doing that too? I don't think he did that because the Pacers were home, Or maybe it was some Piston fans.

    Why is the NBA desperate for money from players? I thought they were already rich.

    cause if you don't fine players for breaking the rules, then you're going to see players grab a cell phone from the crowd after they dunk the ball or make a game winning shot. there is no need for that in the nba. he was doing fine with his attitude, then he does this. he was home too, which makes it even more bizzare

    How could he have done that by accident? Not like he was scratching his ear with that finger or something.

    Looks like Reggie Miller's bank account is going to be depleted after he kicked the ball to the crowd as high as the touchdown poles in Football
