    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I wrote alot about this awhile ago. Basically a recap: Name something he did other than shoot off screens. Not just shoot, shoot off screens. The man averaged 20 PPG off shots off screen and a few created shots. Name anything he did besides shoot off screen and hit some created shots, and then compare him with 50 of the other NBA's bast. Most people say he's better than 35 of them.</div>Good points KMartI never understood why people liked this guy so much. Yes he had one of the best shots in the game and he could be clutch. But not only was he averaging 20 points off screens and only off screens, he was a cheap player too. I've never seen one player get away with so many shoves to get open, it was ridiculous. Every playoff series with the Celtics and Pacers involved Miller shoving off defenders to get open. I agree with the fact that he's overrated

    ok , Reggie was a pure shooter couldn't drive for nothing.He would be on my top 100 maybe even top 50. He deserves a spot in the HOF but yes, he was very very overraed.

    Top 100? The only person I've ever known who MIGHT be able to actually name his top 100 without intense research and long days without rest is BALLAHOLIC....HaHa

    Actually, I'd say they are atleast triple what Reggie was, they just haven't accomplished as much yet. Wait 5 years guys, these players will already be on our top 20 lists
