39. Reggie Miller

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.

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

IV

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
