Is Reggie Miller a top 50 player of all-time?

[Math2]

if being one dimensional is:

being the best of the ball / screen / catch n shoot player ever
being arguably the best clutch player ever
being the best shooter ever
being arguably the most consistant & durable player ever

then yes... he is one dimensional, most one dimensional ever

yes, that is one dimensional...Shooting and durability....

How can you say this when you have guys like Bird, MJ, Ray Allen, Kareem, Karl Malone, Stockton - all who proved better in those categories. I mean, sure I can give best shooter, but clutch player? He had his moments but also came up short in other moments. That stinker of a game 7 in 94 vs the Knicks? Guess nobody remembers that. How about a mediocre game 7 vs Orlando in 95? How about the 3 point line being shortened when he had those back to back triples?

And yeah, that one dimension is called scoring.

I'd say shooting is his one dimension.

[JMT]

No, and he's not that close.

[Bigsmoke]

Hell no

[TrueAristotle]

He's not on that picture, so he's not a top 50

If he wasn't on there then, then there is no way he should be on there now.

[Kblaze8855]

From 96 to now you have to add Duncan, AI, KG, Dirk, Kobe, Nash, Wade, Lebron, and guys like Webber, Ray, Pierce, Payton, Kidd, and on and on and on have to be considered. Even if you saw fit to drop a few guys from the first top 50 for Reggie(and I see a case for like...3 people tops) you have to add 13-15 guys before him anyway.

Chris Webber? Nash? Wtf?

I see no arguement in him being more durable than Karl Malone, who actually banged inside for 19 seasons and only was out for a long period of time in his last season. I don't see an arguement from being the best clutch player over Jordan, Bird, or Jerry West. Reggie had his share of failing in clutch time, seems like nobody wants to remember that. I wouldn't even say he's the best shooter ever either.

[8BeastlyXOIAD]

James Jones > Reggie Miller

[kaiiu]

Anthony Parker with more FGA.

[L.Kizzle]

He's not on that picture, so he's not a top 50

Why id Jordan in the middle and Walt Frazier looks taller than 6'4.
