He is a wonderful example of a dedicated professional athlete." </div>

    Good ol' Reggie.. Helping burn victims. Reggie is a pretty good role model for young children like me, sharing his wealth and being as great of a basketball player as he is. Reggie is a Hall of Famer gauranteed mark my words.

    I've never been a fan of Reggie Miller, but have always held respect for his talent and desire on the court.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Good ol' Reggie.. Helping burn victims.</div>

    There's a fair amount of irony in that, because Reggie had to deal with some demented freak burning down his house because of a stall with contract negotiation with Indy. To me, that's taking being a fan a little too seriously, when you're willing to destroy someone's home to send a message that "you better resign with us". Truely the stuff that fruitcakes are made of.

    As i recall, Reggie suffered from an illness as a child that almost prevented him from doing anything at all, so he's bound to be all too familiar with the plight that others not so fortunate can experience.

    Congratulations to him. i may not be a fan on the court, but what he's done off the court has been exemplary, IMO.

    I think Reggie is a standout citizen and is loyal and compassionate to those less fortunate than him...he has had a spectacular career in Indiana and continues to be a role model that the youth can follow and respect...
