Kevin Durant or Reggie Miller?

[DaSeba5]

Is everyone thinking Reggie is a Robert Horry/Derek Fisher type of player?

Anyways I don't think Reggie was ever considered the best player on his team. It's pretty obvious.

Who was the better player than Reggie on those Pacer teams?

[Kblaze8855]

According to his own coach Larry Brown....and Phil Jackson....Derek Mckey was. And some said Smits...and many thought Detlef when he was doing like 19/10/6. That said...Reggie was the best most of the time.

Far as this:

What about Magic Johnson, though? What's your stance there? His defense was a little suspect, to say the least.

Magic might be the greatest offensive player of all time. Not...Rip Hamilton with 2 steps more range.

And Magic was 6'9''....he wasnt supposed to be guarding points in the first place. On the swingmen and smaller forwards he guarded he wasnt noteworthy but wasnt anything to laugh at. Usual defender...not worth pointing out for good or bad reasons.

Jermaine O'Neal too, but Miller was well past his prime by 02-05.

KD is a better player than Reggie was, but its still sad to see how underrated Reggies aptitude is around here, Reggie is one of the best examples ever of "Watch him before you watch the stats" to understand why/how he was that impactful, he averaged 18 ppg.... but most of it would come in the 4th quarter, deliberately.... i am not surprised if Reggie has hit more gamewinning/gametying shots in NBA history....

The guy was a trolling clutch/4th quarter assassin, a mental warfare master...... he is one of those guys who would hypothetically have Durant score 40 on him, let him look like he is winning, let him have his fun and then take his heart out in the 4th quarter.... erupt for 15+ points in the 4th / hit a gamewinner, end up with only 18 points... and then walk away staring at Durant preferably with a choke sign and speech like: "Nice 40 point game tho......" and have Durant be sleepless being pissed of that night..... Reggie was one of THOSE guys....

So you tell me who is better there, yes KD had a better game and is a better player..... but you know.... you just cant measure Reggies aptitude in stats....

Jermaine O'Neal too, but Miller was well past his prime by 02-05.

During that time Reggie said he didnt want to impede those talents process, he could have easily erupt for as many ppg as he ever could and was their go-to-guy in the 4th quarter.

We can't down grade Durant too much because of his Finals loss (while he had Harden and Westbrook, too) because he lost to the King. If he had lost to a weaker competitor, he could get knocked down a bit, but he lost to a superior.

[Reggie43]

Statswise Durant is obviously the better player but does anyone of you honestly believe that replacing Miller for Durant in their primes on those Pacers teams changes the results of the big playoff games he was in?

He had too many close series with very good to all time great playoff teams some of those they won, does replacing Miller for Durant get them over the hump against Ewings knicks, Jordans bulls and Shaqs magic/lakers?

Oh come on, OKC lost that series, not Durant by himself. He still averaged 30 PPG on 50% despite the refs trying to take him out of that series. He was only 23 too.... That was like what, his 3rd time in the playoffs? And he played damn well too...

Bold was all you needed to post. Completely expected to enter this thread and read a homer post by you.

KD's better productions all in all will probably result in more games won, but i still see no championship for him either.... that Jordan guy was not fair and so wasnt that Bulls team and then when he/Bulls dismantled it didnt get any more fair with Shaq+Kobe

Basically Reggie was a one dimensional skeletor...... If he waited till the 4th his team was carrying him thru the 1st 3 b/c he sure as hell wasnt playing D

The one dimension was huge........ the size & impact of what a multi dimension would have...
