Mark Jackson speaks on Miller
Posted by Unknown on Tuesday, September 04, 2012 with 37 comments
With Reggie Miller entering the Basketball Hall of Fame this Friday, his longtime teammate Mark Jackson recently told the Indianapolis Star where Miller stands in the history of the NBA at the shooting guard position.
“When you take Michael Jordan and you take Kobe Bryant out of the discussion, he’s as good as any two-guard that has ever played the game,” Jackson said.

So hes saying that reggie is the third best shooting guard?

No I dont think so but I think hes got a point if u talkin 2g's n the last 30 years or so. Who else besides ray allen or joe dumars can u think of?
DeleteWade
ReplyDeleteU got it D Wade! Preach don't want to hear that cuz he is a hater. Reggie is the best shooter ever hands down. U heard Lil Wayne "automatic wit the money like Reggie for 3"
ReplyDeleteIve said wade a great player but I havent seen enough outa his injury phoned career to say he better than reggie or dumars. Hell I mention ray allen! Im not even sure I can say wade has had a better career than allen yet. stupid ass heat fan
DeleteAnd i bet u think bosh us better than malone or barkley dont u? And u probably rock tight pants like weezy to dont u? Young dummy
DeleteJoe dumars had one season avg 20 a game so in my opinion he is a hall of famer by default...if you look at the hall of fame list as of now its filled with pg sf pf and center and a few sg..with that being sad the 2guard play is a lot better in this era of basketball then it has ever been and you guys can blurt out richmond,hardaway,mullen,tim hardaway,dumars,drexler maybe even spreewell...but I would take damn near all of the 2guards from 2002 until now before any of those guys that's just my opinion so don't curse me out and call me foul names
DeleteU silly. I respond to wats said to me. Dumars was just a name I mention. U thru out sum good ones but as far as 02 and beyond....like I said name them.
DeleteU talk out ur Ass preach. Wade not better than Joe Dumars Wade not better than Ray Allen are u NUTS?!!!! & as far as better than Reggie goes well Wade got two rings & Reggie nun.
ReplyDeleteNah ya head so far stuck up heat players ass to know wat the fuck u talkin bout. u probably never seen dumars play! Dumars probably the best eva defensively at tha guard position, he would lock wade ass down! And ray allen has had a long, healthy, and productive career and wat wade has n athletic ability all 3 of them guys make up for it n great shooting
DeleteWhat?!!! Wade don't play D to? Are u for real man? Wade play D he can take u off the dribble drive dunk on yo biggest man wit no fear is a very good shooter to. U just a Fuckin dumb out!!
DeleteWade a good shooter? Lmao!!...im tellin u u high off miami heat ass dude .
DeleteWOW!!! U can't be a hater all ur life.
DeleteWade is awesome but his shot is streaky, def not better then reggies shot, but wade is more athletic and can score in more ways then one, but reggie had abilities besides shooting, i give reggie a slight edge, and if reggie had a partner as good as lebron and bosh he would of gotten a few rings himself.
ReplyDeleteJay-
Thank u. He say i cant b a hater all my life but heat fans cant keep lyin to they self the rest of there life either. Wade a very good shooter? The nigga just start knockin down 3's a couple of seasons ago...So wat d wade u been watchin?! and since i dont lie to myself, yea i will say wade is n the descussion and i would take him over allen after thinking about it but over reggie or dumars? Hell no
DeleteReggie gave jordan aloooot of problems!
ReplyDelete^^^so did dumars!
DeleteThis guy said Reggie plays better D than Wade come on now Preach talk to that youngsters.
ReplyDeleteLook I like Reggie Joe was cool but Wade is better than those two hands down. I don't know y he even said Joe name & Reggie was just a shooter any dummy can tell u that. By the way Wade won one wit a washed up Shaq. He had one b4 King James even came to him.
ReplyDeleteCause joe would lock 95% of these boys playin today ass down! Reggie was much more than a shooter dummy. mj amd kobe both didnt get into fights with reggie for nothin...he was a problem! on both sides of the ball. And yea wade showed out n that finals with a old but stacked miami team but that dont make him better than reggie or dumars. u dont even know wat the rest of wades career will b like with his hurt ass so how can u say he is better.
DeleteShaq was a big help tough, he still was avg 20 a game, but the competition was alot harder back then, i mean if wade was in the league when jordan was playing, wade wouldnt have gotten shit, jordan was the reason why alot of hall of famers and great players didnt get theirs, jordan was a spoil master...lol
ReplyDeleteJay-
Everyone thats been mentioned will be a hof, they all have there strengths and weaknesses, there's arguments for all sides, it just depends whos side your on, so it's really a pointless argument
ReplyDeleteBut I like miller lol
ReplyDeleteReggie also played when good/ great players played on their own teams, never a doubt pacers were reggie, bulls were Jordan, jazz was malone/stockton , barkley was phx, olojuwan was Houston so on and so on, they didn't all join to make one super team , reggie wanted to beat mj on his pacer team that's why he didn't get a ring that's why a lot of those guys didn't get rings, that doesn't mean you cant go.down better than a dude with a ring , look at horry he has 7 you think he is the best pf of all time heck no, so yea i say reggie has a slight edge over wade, based on the fact the leauge was harder and the defensive rules have changed to favor the offensive player, for you young folk who don't remember you used to be able to use a hand to keep your man in front of you in reggies day .
ReplyDeleteI don't believe miller or dumars is better then wade period go look at the competition dumars,miller and jordan had to guard I mean the 2guards weren't that great to be honest and if you guys believe that the wing play was better in the 90's then it is today your sniffing something...I mean the players y'all are vouching for wouldn't be top 10 in todays in nba in my opinion except for Jordan...and guys can say "oooooh Jordan and those guys played in the tougher era blah blah blah" but if you do your research the fg% was higher in the 80's and 90's and you couldn't handcheck in 93 and up so you can't say that and flagrant fouls were implemented in 1990 because jordan and pippen were bitching about physical play...one last thing go look at all the 2guards from 1985 to 1996 and look at the 2guards from 1997 to 2012 and you guys tell me who would take...oh and I forgot to mention kobe is the greatest 2guard ever and kareem is the greatest all time

Actually the hand check rule didn't fully change ubtill the 99-00 season before that u could use hands and after you were only allowed a forearm and then in 00-01 it changed to minimal body contact
ReplyDeletehttp://blitzsportsnetwork.com/2012/01/the-michael-jordan-era-defenses-vs-the-kobelebron-era-defenses/
ReplyDeleteSo please read ^^^^^^^ that artical that is the truth from some of NBA greats, and coaches. No further argument!
ReplyDeleteScrew that blitz guy he sucks jordan penis so hard mj is crying and do your research buddy the handcheck got banned in 1993 I'm sure of this and of course you'll great too if you had avg players guarding you
ReplyDeleteJLEW
Dude did you read? It even had stew Jackson saying when and why the rule change, 2000 , and fully changed 2004 read again, you could still fully hand check in 93 threw 99, but hey its just facts ,its plain and simple ,
ReplyDeleteIts hard to compare reggie n wade. Todays game is diff. Defense is diff offense is diff. As it stands right now tho u gotta take reggie. I think cats r prisoners of the moment. Yall to quick to crown these new era players. Wade had a phenomenal run when he won his first title. But let's be honest. He hasn't really lived up to that. Reggie had some of the greatest moments ever in playoff history. Alot more then wade. He was a gamesmen inside the game. N im tired of cats talking about rings. No one won rings besides the bulls. N do y'all actually think wade wudve won another chip if bron n bosh weren't there.
ReplyDeleteI dont even know why we comparing areas here? yall act reggie been retired a full decade or sumthin. If u think reggie cant play n todays nba u crazy. r ray allen and rip hamilton not similar type players rite now? aint Dumars kinda like tony allen size with offensive game? U guys keep talkin u would take 2g's playin today or beyond 02....who besides wade is even n the descussion? Cause we already know mj and kobe at the top.
ReplyDeleteVince carter, t mac, or joe johnson????
DeleteThis dude is a clown talking about what stew jackson said go read the nba rules in 93 and see what you read...kareem even said the 90's was a weak era watered down with expansion teams and trash wing players and I'd take tony allen over dumars any day of the week...I don't see what you guys see in those 90's guards...you guys are looking souly at statistics I can tell..majority of the 2guards in the 90's were slow physical players and I guess you guys considee that defense...y'all most of forgot zone defenses were illegal back then you could only play man defense and you don't belive that ask ya daddy he know
ReplyDeleteJLEW
Jlew u on crack if u think SG r brtter now then b4...

Reggie was clutch. Best shooter off all time, including Ray. He would drop an efficient 40 on wade. Then he could school him on how to annunciate properly. Highly articulate and intelligent, knows the game, the mind game and is a class act all the way. Wade can ball, but he's a dip shit.
ReplyDeleteWell jay I must be on crack because I've seen all the so called great 2guards play and the 2000 era impress me a lot then those late 80's and 90's guys apparently you don't know basketball my man because if I had to go up against man d all gane I would drop 40 a night like most wing players would do today and those players your riding for couldn't even do it man and no the defense wasn't tougher you can preach that handcheck and better defense all you want because they had flagrants in 1990 when the bulls made their run all I'm saying is ppl over shadow the greatness from the 70's and 80's...just to give it all to the 90's guards which in my opinion would be struggling for playing time in today's nba
