Reggie Miller is easily considered the greatest Indiana Pacer of all-time. He's known for having one of the deadliest shots in the history of professional basketball and his ability to knock down shots in high-pressure situations. Reggie Miller was drafted eleventh overall in the 1987 NBA Draft by the Indiana Pacers and played his entire NBA career with the franchise. He later became known as the 'Knick Killer' but struggled to get past Michael Jordan during the prime of his career. Miller had a chance to earn his first NBA Championship in the 2001 NBA Finals but lost to Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'neal, and the Los Angeles Lakers.
Reggie Miller is the second all-time leader in three-points made in the history of the game and one of the best free throw shooters of all-time as well. Despite not being able to earn an NBA Championship, the sharp-shooter did earn Olympic Gold with the 1996 American Basketball Olympic Team. Noe, Miller spends his time as a color commentator for the NBA on TNT.
