Reginald Wayne Miller was born in Riverside, California on August 24, 1965. Reggie was born with significant hip deformities and had to wear braces on both legs for many years. His legs eventually developed and he was able to walk normally. Miller was raised in an athletic family with four siblings. Among his siblings are a Major League Baseball player, a varsity volleyball player, and a female basketball hall of famer who won an Olympic gold medal in 1984.
Cheryl Miller is the younger sibling. During their childhood, she and Reggie formed a close bond, and they played basketball together for many years, squaring off against each other in informal 1-on-1 games. Cheryl used to regularly beat Reggie, but he eventually grew large enough to block her shots. Reggie had to develop an unconventional shooting style in order to arc over his larger sister. He carried this shooting style into the NBA.
Reggie attended the University of California after graduating from high school. He studied history in college and eventually graduated with a degree. His time at the University of California, on the other hand, was dominated by his college basketball exploits. Miller was a member of the UCLA Bruins when they won the NIT Championship. He played his final game for the Bruins in 1987, when they were defeated by the University of Wyoming.
Personal Life
Reggie Miller and his wife bought a $1.1 million home in Los Angeles in 1995. The six-bedroom, Mediterranean-style residence is located on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood Hills and has 7,000 square feet of living space. There are gardens and a pool outside.
He also has a residence in Fishers, Indiana. Reggie once listed this 15,000-square-foot Fishers mansion for $7.5 million. Reggie eventually removed it from the market after failing to find a buyer.
Miller paid $5.3 million for a home in Malibu, California, in 2001. The home sits on 1.3 acres and has nearly 8,400 square feet of living space. Landscaped gardens, a pool, and a detached guesthouse are among the extras. The master suite alone is 2,700 square feet and features a marble fireplace. Reggie now divides his time between Malibu and Fishers.
Miller announced his intention to join TNT as an analyst in 2005, and he continues to appear on the network as of 2020. Cheryl, his sister, is a network sideline reporter. He has also appeared as a guest host on “Live with Regis and Kelly.” Reggie began contributing to ESPN Radio’s “The Dan Patrick Show” in 2005. He was an analyst for the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship in 2011.
In 2007, rumours began to circulate that Miller might make a comeback. Reggie eventually announced that, after careful consideration, he had decided not to resume his playing career. Despite claiming to be physically capable of returning to the NBA at the age of 42, he admitted to being mentally uncommitted to the idea. Aside from commentary, Reggie Miller was a voice actor in the Disney series “Hercules.” He was also in the 2018 film “Uncle Drew.”
Career
Reggie Miller was chosen by the Pacers as the 11th pick in the first round of the 1987 NBA Draft. Miller earned fans’ respect after wearing the number 31 in his first season as a backup for shooting guard John Long. By 1992, Chuck Person’s departure from the Pacers had thrust Reggie into the limelight as the team’s leading scorer. He immediately demonstrated his potential by scoring 57 points against the Charlotte Hornets, a new career high that is still a Pacers record.
Reggie Miller rose to prominence in 1994 after an outstanding performance against the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals. Miller hit several long-range three-pointers during this game. In 1995, he made a name for himself by scoring 8 points in 8.9 seconds. This time, it was against the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals. During this time, he had a long-running feud with Spike Lee, a die-hard Knicks fan.
Miller was out of commission for a long time after suffering a serious eye injury, so he used the time to launch a talk show called “The Reggie Miller Show.” Despite Miller’s success in the following years, the Pacers were defeated in the 1998 playoffs by the Chicago Bulls. Reggie Miller and the Pacers were expected to perform extremely well in the years following Michael Jordan’s retirement. Unfortunately, a string of poor performances followed.
Reggie began to accept that he was no longer the Pacers’ focal point in 2002. He was no longer the team’s leading scorer, but he remained a strong leader in the locker room and a source of inspiration for younger players. Despite this, Miller continued to contribute, particularly when several of the Pacers’ top players were suspended or injured. Miller’s final game for the Pacers was in 2005, and the crowd in Indianapolis gave him a standing ovation.
