He spent 14 minutes of his 15 minute speech thanking people and the other minute telling everyone how he got owned by Michael Jordan.... What a humble champion.
LOL and its something because Reggie NEVER backed down. As a Chicago fan it's what I always respected about him. Back then, even with MJ and Scottie and Tony, you did NOT want Indiana to have the last shot. More so than even with MJ. Reggie was just that clutch.
Reggie is lying too. MJ wad the greatest, but Reggie wasn't scared of nobody. Growing up a Bulls fan, Reggie was one of the most feared players we ever faced.
I used to watch the Bulls as a kid, and Reggie was never scared or owned by MJ....never. He lost to MJ but owned? Did you get to see the fight between Reggie and MJ?
Have you never watched hall of fame speeches? Lol that's what everyone does, they thank everyone else
@@edalbanese6310 I think Reggie is just being humble.
Anyone else on a NBA hall of fame speech marathon? I love these tributes and seeing each player I grew up loving put their hearts out like this!
i am, man. whoo
I dont think i cried this much in my entire life
My 7th one tonight 😄
2019 boi!
I almost got man tears from Allen Iversons speech
Reggie spent his ENTIRE career as as an INDIANA PACER.
lebron spent his career traveling literally.
@@worthlessmutts9598 Laughed more than I should've at that comment
Loyalty to the franchise that gave him everything. Same with magic. Bird. Kobe. Michael jordan (wizard stint dont count) nowadays you dont see it
Loyalty is royalty
@@artisticskillz01 MJ was more loyal to the bulls then the bulls were to him
The respect he paid to Cheryl Miller, I teared up!!!
Somebody in my house decided that would be the appropriate time to start slicing onions
@@scoonman Lol! IKR
I am old enough to have seen the great great Cheryl Miller in college and to this day I have never seen her equal.
@@DesmondDaddy as she is affectionately called Cheryl "The Goat" Miller
Yes. Me also
Every person that says Reggie is not a Hall of Famer must have never seen a game he played in or must be 20 years old or younger.....he is the definition of clutch!
Kaos Pat so clutch that he has 0 rings...lmao reggie isn't a HOFer
***** U are funny
Kaos Pat i am funny. i also speak the truth
***** no, reggie isn't a HOFer because he made 5 all star teams in 19 years, averaged 19/3/3 and made 0 all defensive teams and 2 all nba 3rd teams. you don't know basketball son
***** I think you forgot who`s era it was.....and if you rate players only by stats and All-Star appearances, well then you do not know the game my friend.....he would have made more All-Star games if he would have left Indiana for the westcoast....but he decided to stay with the franchise for his whole career! Plus....when he left the NBA he was the best 3 point shooter ever.....so how can he not be a HOF ?
The Millers look like a humble, hardworking decent bunch. Respect
Military
His father put that time in 💯
Being from Indianapolis, I know that Reggie did a lot of behind the scenes good for the community. He always refused to take any credit for his charity work.
Their family is what every family aspires to be
American dream
Cheryl and Reggie talked so much smack. On the court.
Charyls chest pump on charles was hilarious 🤣
Chuck felt he was harassed
loved that woman
Man Cheryl would've destroyed de WNBA. A true pity it didn't exist on her time
FACTS!
Without a shadow of doubt!
I was just watching a video about her before this one. She epitomizes the term "before your time". She would've went down in history as one of the best basketball players of all time, male or female. She's a legend.
kokolatte825 She DID go down as one of the greatest! By EVERY account she is considered the GREATEST Woman Player EVER and LITERALLY at here is not one person or former player male or female that has ever disputed that fact! From Lisa Leslie to Cheryl swoops to sue bird to Diana tirade to Michael Jordan, to Barkley, Magic and Isaiah to Larry Bird to Kobe and Shaq are all on record saying so and that’s just a small list out of many. She is recognized by everyone as the greatest female player ever and as far as overall skill set, top 3 or 5 basketball player male OR female hands down. Her records I. High school college and abroad STILL stand plus an Olympic gold medal, 3 NCAA back to back championships at USC and 105 points in high school game were she was actually passing the ball to her teammates and did not play the last 2 minutes of the game! At USC she averaged MORE than 25 plus points AND 20 plus rebounds ALL FOUR YEARS, in fact her WORSE year in college was her freshman year, 23.5ppg, 9.7 rpg while shooting over 51% from the damn field and more than 85-90% from the free throw!! She shot ABOVE 55% the next 3 years and average 13 rpg: she shot 61% from the field her senior year! NOBODY male or female has done it all while averaging a double double and Alamo’s double digit assists as well ALL FOUR YEARS! The shit is crazy! She is recognized UNIVERSALLY as the greatest woman’s player EVER!!
@@jimmycunningham4475 she is recognized by other players, but not by the world universally because she didn't get the opportunity to play on that level. Other athletes say it and people who remember her college days. It's really not the same amount of people it would've been had she had the chance to play pro ball and go to the Olympics.
I teared up when he talked about Cheryl 😢.
Lol!! Me as well!
Amir Khan I didn’t. I just happened to watch it as I was conveniently slicing onions.
Listen To Her hall Of Fame Speech and what she says about HIM... They share the same heartbeat.
A lot of people do not realize how good Cheryl Miller was. She was so good on the court, I mean she was scary good. She dropped over 100 points in a game once. She had a killer instinct on the court and was virtually unstoppable. If it was not for her knee injury, her career would have been much greater.
Damn onions!
Reggie Miller doesn't age.
He actually looks younger
True
I am Bear True / Me Big Riggie Miller Fan
Shinkansen Kakkoi Most Yellow people don’t.
Only in Uncle Drew.. he was funny 😁
8 points, 9 seconds
LovinMe SumTits-N-Ass exactly it was priceless!
Still gives me chills. The iron balls to do that
Im a die hard knicks fan! But that moment my heart dropped to the floor!
career: 3 assist...rebounds 3. he doesnt deserve the HoF
Aaron Davis it’s allot you are not factoring in, or understanding.
Reggie Miller has the best personality from the NBA, being an NBA commentator is perfect for him
Cheryl Miller was a good NBA commentator too
Reggie, Cheryl, Charles, Kenny, Ernie and Shaquille are my favorite commentators/behind the scenes NBA crew.
never thought i'd see Miller and Jordan in the same room laughin together. good stuff
I was shocked about that myself. B/c Cheryl let everyone know how she felt about the Jordan rules affecting her brother everytime she could. And rightfully so
@@josephrevell6612 what did Cheryl say about that??
Cheryl was an absolute beast on the court, I think Reggie once said that he actually didn't win a one on one game against her, until he was a senior in high school...
I worked 20 years with them and I loved ❤ it
He had a 50/40/90 season. 50% FG, 40% 3PFG, 90% FT, only one of SIX players in NBA history to do it. End of story.
They need to speak about that accolade way more!! Truly POWERFUL performer!!
Even though he never won a championship, I always loved to watch him play. Extremely talented.
The Serf he’s so humble
90s players are just full of character and it’s very nostalgic seeing them altogether in one occasion. My Most favorite players
Agreee. Different era.
Pure class.
He was our version of Michael Jordan. Thanks for making the Pacers great and giving me so many exciting memories as I grew up during the 90s. Anyone who thinks he shouldn't be in the HoF is disgracing himself. He NEVER stopped running off screens the whole game and the team was built around his sharpshooting. Oh, and he was money in the clutch.
Reggie Miller is my favorite baller of all time, all time! "Miller for 3" unforgettable!
Boom Baby
No he's my favorite player over all players
Yes!!!
exactly.
How a real fucking human does a speech.. awesome and unique player.
Talk about not forgetting where you came from and who supported you along the journey. This entire speech was class, grace and humility personified. The tribute to his sister towards the end was so beautiful.
Biggest Knick nemesis besides MJ.
Top 5 clutch player of all time. He seemed to shoot better when the pressure was on.
***** lol no
Lebron teams always beats the bulls in the playoffs though
+Cavs_Fan94 is like robert horry
linel
noel
you mean bulls always beats the cavs in the playoff with michael .......and then miami with wade lebitch bosh allen beat the bulls in 2011.....
reggie miller the greatest sharpshooter and greatest PACER of all time
Ray Allen
^ Ray Allen .... no where near clutch !
lol he wasn't a Pacer.
Ray Allen wasn't a Pacer? Go check your facts fool. Isn't obvious that he was? I mean any casual fan would know that Ray Allen was a Pacer. Probably the greatest of all time. That's what I was clearly responding to. The fact that Ray Allen was the greatest Pacer and not the Greatest Sharpshooter.
strikedizzle Ray Allen was never a Pacer....he was with Milwaukee, Seattle, Boston and Miami
Arguably the greatest clutch performer of all time (besides MJ lol) This dudes sister really was the MJ of women’s bball
MJ was the Cheryl of mens basketball
@@derakc.2783 shut up 🤣
I like that one!!👍😁
@@derakc.2783 Exactly!!!!
@@birdpooper lol. You know the truth.
Reggie's speech was great! Very heartfelt!
That was the classiest hall of fame speech I've ever seen! Gratz Reggie
Magic taught me how to lie and cheat....lol
He's looking really good at 54, he looks like he can still play.
Growing up, Reggie Miller was easily my 2nd favorite player to watch behind Michael Jordan. Before Ray Allen and Steph Curry, Reggie Miller was the prototype for 3-point sniper shooting and frankly, he did it against much tougher odds than either Allen or Curry. Allen eventually got to be part of a superteam in the '08 Celtics and Curry has always had Klay Thompson on his side. Imagine Miller having a SECOND sniper to help pick him up during the 90s. Everytime he would finally conquer one huge playoff obstacle, there was always one waiting that was just to hard to overcome. Finally beats the Knicks in '95, then has to contend with a young powerhouse Magic team in the ECF. Finally gets to the NBA Finals in '00, then has to deal with a Lakers squad with 2 future HOFers and in the conversation of Top 10 all-time players and both coached by the greatest NBA coach ever. And this is all ignoring he had the impossible task of trying to dethrone Jordan's Bulls in the 90s. Miller unfortunately played in an unlucky era.
Red coached the Lakers. I thought he coached the Celtics. Yea Red is the greatest coach ever
John stockton for me
@8:09 Props to Cheryl Miller. “Greatest women’s basketball player ever.”
For anyone questioning his worthiness remember he played during a time when some of the greatest players, and certainly some of the biggest dynasties were in the NBA. His career started during the beginning of MJ's and the Bulls prime and ended with Shaq/Kobe dynasties. You put Reggie on the Lakers, or Bulls and he's a household name. He took a below average team to the playoffs. His numbers aren't as stellar as you'd think until you realize his percentage was unbelievably high, he just didn't take as many shots as the bigger named guys.
The best thing about the Hall of Fame are the speeches, the stories behind every player.
Reggie Miller was a likable oponent, I wish he would have won a ring.
He made his big sis 😢...that's heartfelt!!
Wow. Imagine two of your children, one the greatest woman basketball player of all time the other one of the GOATs, Hall of Famers.
.... and another one, Daryl Miller, who played professional Baseball for the Angels.
Mictlantecuhtli THEIR FATHER HAS BALLS OF GREATNESS.
pause tho lmao
correction THE Greatest woman basketball player of all time!!!
his sister Tammy played volleyball at Cal State Fullerton.
...AND WITH GOOD CHARACTER AND CLASS!!!!!! 😃😎😃😎
Larry Bird looking like he ready to hit bar and then the strip club.
Black Jedi lmao bird didn’t even flinch lmao
😂
He looked like that at MJ's too. I'd love to hear Bird's internal dialog during these.
You can drink at a strip club🤦🏼♂️😂
@@roywyson9744 its too expensive, thats what people tell me anyway
Miller is my dude......all day , every day! Great speech.....luved seeing him give luv to Cheryl!
Bill Walton always got that big as smile for no reason
Ben Because he’s not miserable like you.
He's perpetually stoned.
Bill. Someone should have told him where he was at.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mariokrajones2091 i love Reggie and the pacers i GREW UP WITH HIM
The way he elevated his sister was great!
8:25, Cheryl's look is simply touching...
He forgot to thank Spike Lee!
lmao
The hell he did ! lol
"spike who?"
I was SOOOOOOOOOOOO waiting for that !!!!! Woulda been EPIC !!!!
Pro athletes. Hmm. Fake life
Dude doesnt get old!!!! Like he conserve himself somehow!
And he forgot to thank Spike Lee 😂😂🤣🤣
Who’s still watching this today September 2019
even in November we are still watching this
Now in November grew up watching this legend as a huge pacer fan
In 2020!!!
2020
Watching it on 2-29_20 leap year
To me Reggie had more memorable playoff moments after they made the Finals, after 2001 I just remember watching clutch after clutch playoff shots up until he retired, if it wasn't for that brawl in Detroit that Pacers team would've gone to the Finals and won it all.
That's what I said many years ago. Reggie Miller's chance was hurt that year and he definitely deserved a championship!!!
Great Hall-of-Fame Speech. Very heartfelt. I'm very glad that Reggie acknowledged all the players and teams that he played with and for. As often, I have greater respect for these great individuals who were great players in their time. I love basketball. And even more, I love listening to these greats speaking at the Hall-of-Fame inductions.
Hated him when he played against the Bulls but, In my opinion the greatest Pacer of all time, had the chance to go back to his hometown or pulling a KD and going to my Bulls, but he stayed loyal from beginning to end. Him and Ray will always be my favorite 3 point shooters
To put in perspective how great Cheryl Miller was. She was already in this hall of fame, 17 years before her brother, and 11 before Michael Jordan...
It's not a Reggie being a nice brother, she truly is the greatest woman to ever play the game. Her records are still standing today. She is the combination of Wilt Chamberlin, Bill Russel, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan of Basketball
yea, but she's a woman.. any male college basketball kid would've destroyed her, lol
@@jwst8 You have some serious issues. Archieve something
@@QuotableExchange i know facts and truth hurt your little fantasy world.. lol
@@jwst8 so hurt didn’t archieve nothing in life uh?
@@QuotableExchange honestly, prolly achieved more than you, lol
Can never forget Reggie even though he played in an era that was full of real super stars.
4:52 I swear Larry bird swallowed his gum
Yup..He Sure Did!😭☠️
One of the best Hall of Fame speeches, not too short, not too long, funny and emotional.
I’ve never seen an acknowledgment speech so put together better than this!
One of the best pure shooters ever and a tenacious competitor
7:52 "You allow Charles to say whatever HE wants and WE have to clean it up."
Sounds about right... 😬
My first memory of basketball is my grandma taking me to market square in like 93 or 94 and the whole crowd chanting reggie, reggie. That's when I fell in love with basketball. Thanks reggie.
Ahaha Reggie telling it how it is. I love it how he roasted MJ a bit. But he is just reaffirming what so many greats are so good at ... the tricks of the trade.
Beth Loggins
He was giving respect to Jordan while at the same time telling it like it is.
One of the best Reggie Miller. This is one of the best speech from a Hall of Famer.
The definition of a sharpshooter. From behind the arc, Reggie was deadly.
I get choked up watching Cheryl and Reggie in this moment
I agree NBA 2k needs pacers with 90's roster
archie nukapigak 03-04 pacers went 61-21
Also need a 1999-2000 Heat
They do put Reggie is not on the team
Great player and great person. He deserves to be inducted into the hall of Fame.
Reggie Miller has a very loyal fan base. Reggie is as beloved as ANYONE in his era.
Still a beautiful moment. I cried all over again; and laughed!
Throughout my childhood I had only one role model outside my family, and that was Reggie Miller. All the days and nights mimicing Reggies shot surrounded by cornfields in New Middletown, Indiana. My family taking me to a game every year to see Reggie and the Pacers play. Watching Reggie taught me hard work, how to be confident, and most importantly loyalty. Í have so many fond childhood memories because of Reggie Miller and I wouldn't trade the 18 years I had watching him for 18 championships.
For a reason I have never been of fan of Reggie, not even sure why. With this speech he basically got a new fan. Great guy, I’ll go watch his highlights again. The fact that he asks all his teammates to stand up so that they get a standing ovation is just next level of greatness
Reggie was insanely good! All time great
The miller brother and sister are so good, man! I wish I have a family member like this
that's was beautiful what he said about cheryl
Greatest shooter of all time. I dont care what anyone says. Ray Allen and Larry Bird were undeniably great shooters, but Reggie's unorthodox shot will always be the greatest. hats off to you Reggie!
Stefan. lololololol no
***** lololololol yes
***** not even close. glad it took you 2.5 months to find my comment though
***** Reggie Miller.............HE WAS NUMBER 1........no pun intended smitty
Stefan. number 1 with no rings? lololol ok
Clutch Legend! I m so happy that he s still active around the NBA by being a commentator these days...
Heads down, hands down, Reggie you deserve to be a HOF. Thanks for the great show you put on throughout your career.
Been listening to HOF speeches after watching "The Last Dance" docs
Great series to say the least !!
14:32 - the bump with barkley was hilarious
OMG I miss the 90s so hard！
And that is how you deliver a speech paying gratitude and thanks to everyone....WOW
Cheryl is and always will be a beast, shame she got injured so young but I believe she wouldn't change a thing if it meant this moment didn't exist. She truly loves Reggie and he learned to be a killer from the best.
what an awesome speech i love how he gives props out to his big sis what an amazing legend (both brother and sister are) and i am glad they inducted Reggie really well deserved, he just went up to a whole new level amongst my sporting greats.
Best trash talker of the game, lol, we love you Reggie, even Michael
Rest in peace to Reggie Miller mom. She's a angel in heaven and I bet she's very proud of you Reggie for accomplishing so much.
One of all time favorite players. He had such a pure jump shot.
Reggie! Reggie! Reggie! Man this guy meant so much to the Pacers. Was hard to see him go. Well deserved.
So good I can NEVER forget you!! Well done brother!
"To Greg Anothony, yeah, I pushed" lol
Reggie should at least have one ring...he made off the ball play cool. He taught niggas how to move around without the ball, and how to wear your opponent out...shit that people don't think about.
Christopher Miller That is the truth right there!. Even at 34 years old I have kids half my age who hate guarding me because they know they gotta run. They know I'm gonna run in circles until they either get tired or run into a screen. I learnt that when I was 17 from Reggie Miller.
This is about as close as you can get to a perfect speech...
Awesome speech by an awesome player. Thank you Reggie! 🏀💫
Reggie Miller foi jogador fantástico da NBA. Parabéns pela premiação merecida de ter o nome elevado ao Hall of Fame.
Saw this after watching episode 8, so nice to hear the story again
reggie will always be one of my favorite players of all time
Love you Reg!! So sorry you never got a ring, I really thought the J.O. crew would get it done. SO enjoyed the Knicks vs. Hicks days & all your ways against Spike, hilarious & genius! Not the same without you, but thanks for all the memories & your loyalty to Indiana, you rock!!
Thx for uploading..
As an Indiana kid in the late 80s and 90s, my childhood hero gave me so many great memories. Thanks for everything Reggie!
Thanks for being great Reggie. You’re my favorite player 🤟🏾
Nice job Mr & Mrs Miller. Looks like you raised a really nice, strong and classy family.
Wow a brother and sister are both in the hall of fame! Their dad Saul Miller is from my hometown(Memphis). Outstanding job of raising two hall of famers.
some knicks fans thumbed down the video...hahaha
i don't think the real 90's knick fans would. only these millennials who don't know anything.
I've been a knicks fan since the late 80's! I have nothing but respect for him! I love this game👍
@@worthlessmutts9598 👍👍👍
Thanos okay boomer
What a smooth, classy guy. I love the story and connection with his sister Cheryl as well. She trash talked and schooled all those boys at basketball!!
Was and will always be one of my favorite players of all time
This is what arguably the greatest shooter in NBA history REALLY looks like. Not some other guy on a 2-year run.
sorry but 40 points Doesn't Pass 105 points the best shooter in basketball history's and possibly best player Is Reggie Sister Cheryl Miller
That guy on a two year run made 403 3s in one season
He shoots a lot more than Reggie tho. He's already shot over half as many 3's in 7 years as Reggie did in his 18 year career.
Wow, why does this have to be about Curry? Anyway, since we're here, let me say a few things. I am on the side that still doesn't recognize Curry as the greatest shooter ever unless he continues this for a couple more years. But Curry has been shooting great numbers from the moment he walked into the league. Took him some time to get to superstar level, but the dude's not been on a 2 year run by any stretch of the imagination. He's been a legit star since 2012. And an All-star and All-NBA for 3 years now. It's just that the media found their new golden boy, and decided to market him too enthusiastically these past 2 seasons. Sure, he may have taken a lot more shots, but you can't really blame him, it's not like he's missing them.
It's "about Curry" only because he's already been anointed by far too many as the all-time this, that and the other that the game has ever seen.
When I was younger I hated him now he is one of my favorite players of all time. Just got to respect him.
Sheryl is beautiful!!
Yh she is
I really like watching old games and players that are retired cause I can just appreciate these people with no bias and see them as people
When yourebwatching a speech like this and somebody is being humble and spreading love it just gives you such a great feeling inside. And thats why its such an important quality to have and is much superior to the "look at me" culture that is so prevalent in our society today.
Oh Reggie Miller... ONE OF THE GREATEST! The guy was amazing, he was so good playing basket ball!!!!!!!
