Reggie Miller Joins the Fellas to Talk the Indiana-New York Rivalry 🍿🗣️ | NBA on TNT

TO YOU BY CARMAX. THE WAY CAR BUYING SHOULD BE. >> GOING AT EACH OTHER. AND JOHN STARKS HAS BEEN THROWN OUT. JUST NOT A SMART MOVE. AND REGGIE MILLER, IN AN ANIMATED DISCUSSION WITH SPIKE LEE, STARTS WITH. >> THE ARGUING REGGIE. >> MILLER WITH A CLUTCH TRAE AND A STEAL. >> MILLER RETREATS TO THE THREE POINT LINE AND HITS AGAIN. JOHNSON IS FOULED AND HIT BY ONE. IT WAS MILLER TIME 17 IN THE FOURTH QUARTER. GOT TO PUT IT UP. STEP BACK THREE POINTER. GOT HIM HARD. KNOCKS THE THREE DOWN. >> YEAH THAT’S THE RIVALRY RENEWED TONIGHT IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS I KNOW. >> JOHN STARKS SAYS HE SAID HE SAID HE MAY NOT SEE YOU TONIGHT I GOT HIM JOHN. >> THIS HAS GOT TO GET YOUR BLOOD PUMPING HERE REGGIE. TO BE BACK IN THIS BUILDING. AND FOR THESE STAKES. >> THINK ABOUT IT. >> LAST YEAR THESE TWO TEAMS MET WENT SEVEN GAMES. >> BUT IT WAS THE SECOND ROUND. YES. THERE WAS ANOTHER ROUND LEFT AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE FINALS THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE BECAUSE YOU ARE FOUR WINS AWAY FROM ACHIEVING THE ULTIMATE GOAL. AND THAT’S PLAYING IN THE NBA FINALS. SO OBVIOUSLY THE STAKES ARE HEIGHTENED. AND LET’S FACE IT, THIS LEAGUE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT STARS SHAQ, CHARLES MICHAEL MAGIC DRAYMOND STOP IT. NO I MEAN YOUR DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR. BUT WHAT TO ME HAS TRULY BEEN SOMETHING HAS BEEN THE RIVALRIES BETWEEN TWO TEAMS BOSTON AND THE LAKERS CHICAGO AND DETROIT US IN NEW YORK. I MEAN WHEN YOU GET TWO FANBASES THAT REALLY DON’T LIKE ONE ANOTHER, IT ADDS TO THE RIVALRY AND BOTH TEAMS DON’T LIKE ONE ANOTHER. WE DIDN’T IN THE 90S. WE LEARNED WE RESPECTED THEM, DON’T GET ME WRONG, BUT WE DIDN’T LIKE THEM. AND I THINK IT’S KIND OF POURED OVER TO THE NEW GENERATION. >> I MEAN, LET’S GET IT CLEAR. THE KNICKS FANS DON’T. IT’S NOT THAT THEY DON’T LIKE THE PLACES. THEY DON’T LIKE YOU. IT’S YOU. IT’S NOT THE PACERS. THEY DO NOT LIKE YOU THE OTHER DAY. THEY DON’T LIKE HIM. TRASH AT THE FAN. YEAH THAT WAS CRAZY. >> 1993 TO 2006 TIMES THOSE TEAMS MET. WHEN YOU SEE SOMEBODY THAT OFTEN OF IS THAT IT FUELS EVERYTHING RIGHT THERE. >> IT DOES. AND I LOOK I’VE HAD A LOT OF HIGHS AND LOWS IN THIS BUILDING. YOU KNOW PEOPLE JUST THINK I’VE COME IN HERE AND WE’VE MAGICALLY WON. I WAS THREE AND THREE IN THOSE SERIES YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT. SO THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF EBBS AND FLOWS AND. >> THEN HEADBUTTS. >> YEAH. BUT I LOVE THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE PEOPLE LIKE JOHN STARKS. PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH OF A. COMPETITOR JOHN STARKS IS. >> DON’T TRY TO BE NICE. HE’S DOWNSTAIRS WAITING ON YOU. >> I HOPE HE. >> IS, JOHN. HE’S DOWNSTAIRS. >> I HOPE. >> HE IS. HEY, REGGIE. REGGIE, YOU HAD YOU HAD GREAT PERFORMANCES IN THIS BUILDING. BEING THE INDIANA GUY, YOU PULLED TYRESE TO THE SIDE AND SAID, HEY, THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD HANDLE IT. THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO. THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD TO EXPECT. >> I THINK TYRESE IS CREATING HIS OWN LEGACY, BECAUSE WHEN YOUR PEERS COME OUT AND CALL YOU OVERRATED. NOW, I KNOW THERE WAS ONLY LIKE 13 PEOPLE THAT SAID THAT OR WHATEVER ON THAT ANONYMOUS POLL. BUT WHEN YOUR PEERS COME OUT THERE AND SAY YOU’RE OVERRATED, I THINK NOT ONLY DID THAT LIE TO FUEL UNDERNEATH HIM, BUT IF HIS TEAMMATES WERE LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE, THIS IS YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS GUY GOES THROUGH EVERY DAY. WE SEE HIM EVERY DAY IN PRACTICE. I THINK IT IS LIKE A FUEL UNDER THE PACERS. AND THAT’S WHY NOT ONLY HIS PERFORMANCES DURING THIS POSTSEASON, BUT THE WAY THE TEAM HAS PLAYED. A LOT OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE ATHLETIC POLL. >> I AGREE THEY’RE PLAYING FOR HIM. YES, THEY’RE PLAYING TO PROVE SOMETHING FOR HIM. YES. AND THE TOGETHERNESS OF THIS GROUP IS WHAT’S CARRIED THEM. AND, YOU KNOW, THEY MADE CLEVELAND LOOK DISJOINTED BECAUSE OF HOW TOGETHER THEY WERE. AND, YOU KNOW, THAT’S THE SIGN OF A GREAT TEAM PUT TOGETHER FOR YOUR GUY, A GREAT LEADER AS WELL. WELL, I THINK I LIKE HALIBURTON, BUT I THINK THE REASON THE PACERS ARE HERE IS SIAKAM. I THINK HE’S THE MOST UNDERRATED PLAYER IN THE NBA. HE’S THE BEST PLAYER ON THEIR TEAM, BUT HE’S THE MOST UNDERRATED PLAYER IN THE NBA. AND ME AND DRAYMOND WAS TALKING. HE’S ONE OF THE FEW PLAYERS IN THE NBA WHO YOU CAN NEVER RUN A PLAY FOR. AND HE GETS YOU 26. LIKE HIS ABILITY. AND MAN HE IS SO HE’S SO HE’S SO SLEEK. >> WELL THEY’RE GOING TO BE RUNNING A LOT OF PLAYS FOR HIM IN THIS SERIES BECAUSE HE’S THE ONE PLAYER YOU PUT HIM AND HALIBURTON IN THAT PICK AND ROLL AND WE’RE GOING TO SEE THAT A LOT. IT CREATES THOSE MISMATCHES. AND I KNOW ANUNOBY IS GOING TO START ON HIM. BUT I KNOW THEY’RE GOING TO TRY TO GET BRUNSON INTO THOSE SWITCHES. LIKE WE SAW A LOT IN THAT BOSTON SERIES. >> YEAH ME AND KENNY TALK ABOUT A LOT HOW BAD DEFENSIVELY THE NBA IS TODAY BECAUSE EVERYBODY SWITCHES EVERYTHING. BUT THE PLAYERS WANT TO JACK UP THREES AND NEVER TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE MISMATCHES. THAT’S THE WEIRDEST THING IN NBA. LIKE YO MAN, IF A BIG GUY’S GUARDING A LITTLE GUY, Y’ALL DO KNOW THAT MEAN A LITTLE GUY’S GUARDING THE BIG GUY. SOMEWHERE OUT HERE. >> WE’RE GOING TO SEE BOTH OF THESE TEAMS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE MISMATCHES. BECAUSE BRUNSON DOES THE SAME THING FOR THE KNICKS WHEN HE GETS A SWITCH ON TO HIM. AND WE SEE WHAT TYRESE HAS DONE WHEN THOSE BIG SWITCH OUT ON HIM. >> YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE PREGAME ONE OF A SERIES LIKE THIS BECAUSE IT’S THIS BLANK CANVAS. ALL YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW IS, WELL, HERE’S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAPPEN AND HERE’S BASED ON THE WAY THEY’VE PLAYED, LOOK, IF THEY DON’T REBOUND WITH THEM AND KEEP THEM OUT OF THE PAINT, INDIANA’S GOT NO CHANCE. HEY, IF INDIANA SHOOTS A THREE LIKE THEY DO WHEN THEY’RE ABLE TO RUN UP AND DOWN, THEN NEW YORK DOESN’T HAVE A CHANCE. AND THEN WE SEE THE GAMES PLAYED, AND THEN WE SEE THE WAY ALL OF THOSE PRE-SERIES NUMBERS SHAPE UP. SO WHAT WHAT ARE YOU HANGING YOUR HAT ON RIGHT NOW? AS THIS CANVAS IS STILL CLEAR. >> PACE AND REBOUNDING, I THINK THAT’S GOING TO BE EVERYTHING IN THIS SERIES. INDIANA WANTS TO MAKE THIS A TRACK MEET. WE SAW THAT IN THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS VERSUS MILWAUKEE AND CLEVELAND AND EVEN SO MUCH KENNY ATKINSON SAID AFTER THAT GAME FIVE, WE WERE JUST EXHAUSTED. THEY BEAT US DOWN. THEY PUT SO MUCH PRESSURE. >> ON THEM AND THEY PLAY LIKE A COLLEGE TEAM. >> THEY JUST. >> PUSHING YOU, PRESSING, REMEMBER. >> NOW THEY GO NINE DEEP AND REBOUNDING NEW YORK AND WATCH THIS MITCHELL ROBINSON AND JOSH HART. TO ME JOSH HART IS GOING TO BE THE X FACTOR IN THIS SERIES FOR THE KNICKS. HE IS GREAT ON THE OFFENSIVE GLASS. THERE’S GOING TO BE A LOT OF MIX AND MATCHING. IF NEYMAR AND THOSE GUYS DO NOT FIND JOSH HART, HE IS GOING TO DESTROY THEM ON THE OFFENSIVE GLASS. >> WELL IT’S INTERESTING THAT INDIANA CHUCK SAYS THAT’S THE MOST UNDERRATED PLAYER IN SIAKAM. AND THEN THEY HAVE THE MOST OVERRATED PLAYER AS THEY SAY IN. >> SO IT ALL EVENS OUT. >> SO IT EVENS OUT. BUT YOU KNOW FOR ONE THING FOR ME I THINK THE DIFFERENCE FOR THE KNICKS AND WHY THEY’VE BEEN HERE IS KARL ANTHONY TOWNS. YEAH HE BRINGS THEM SIZE TO THE POSITION. LAST YEAR THEY I THOUGHT PLAYED OVER THEIR HEADS BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T HAVE SIZE AND THEY WERE PLAYING SMALL BALL. BUT HE BRINGS THE SIZE TO IT. BUT I THINK FOR ME WHEN I’M LOOKING AT THE PACERS YOUR PACERS I’M LOOKING AT KARL MYLES TURNER HAS TO WIN THAT MATCHUP. THEY BOTH PLAY SIMILAR IN TERMS OF THEY WILL SHOOT THREES PICK AND POP. HE HAS TO WIN THE MATCHUP AGAINST KARL ANTHONY TOWNS. AND I’M INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT OBI TOPPIN DOES COMING IN AS A REBOUNDER AND AN ATHLETE. AND HE SO HE’S A BIGGER VERSION OF WHAT JOSH HART DOES. HART DOES. SO. SO I’M INTERESTED TO SEE THOSE TWO GUYS FOR INDIANA. MYLES TURNER AND OBI TOPPIN BE THE SUPPORTING CAST THAT GET THEM OVER THE TOP AND GET THEM INTO THE NBA FINALS. DRAYMOND I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU. BECAUSE WHEN Y’ALL PLAYED HOUSTON IN THE FIRST ROUND IT WAS THE FIRST ROUND. THEY THREW A LOT OF BODIES AT STEPH. YOU THINK INDIANA WILL THROW A LOT OF BODIES AT BRUNSON BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE A LOT OF BODIES TO THROW HIM AND GIVE HIM THAT FULL COURT PRESSURE. I THINK THEY WILL THROW A LOT OF BODIES AT HIM. AND I THINK EARLY ON YOU’LL SEE NEYMAR, WHO’S BEEN INCREDIBLE DEFENSIVELY ALL PLAYOFFS. I THINK YOU’LL SEE NEYMAR. I THINK YOU’LL SEE NESMITH. I THINK YOU’LL SEE MATHURIN. MATHURIN THE LONG KID THAT COME OFF THE BENCH. WINSTON I THINK YOU’LL SEE A MIXTURE OF ALL OF THOSE GUYS THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE GAME. BUT I’M TELLING YOU DOWN THE STRETCH, IF THEY WANT TO WIN THIS SERIES, THEY NEED TO HAVE THOSE GUYS CHASE HIM AROUND THE FIRST THREE QUARTERS. AND THEN WHEN IT COMES TIME TO BEAT FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER, THEY NEED TO PUT SIZE ON HIM. SO THEN YOU NEED TO GO SEE HIM. YOU NEED TO GO OBI TOPPIN BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO THE FOURTH QUARTER, HE’S JUST GETTING HIS SPOTS AND RAISING UP ON YOU AND THAT’S WHEN YOU NEED THE LENGTH. SO LET THOSE GUYS TIRE THEM OUT THREE QUARTERS AND THEN PUT THE SIZE ON THEM IF THEY WANT TO TRY TO NEGATE THEM IN QUARTER. >> JUNE 2ND, 2000. THAT WAS THE LAST TIME THE KNICKS PLAYED A GAME IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS. THAT’S ALL ABOUT TO CHANGE. AT THE TOP OF THE REGGIE MILLER WAS HERE BACK THEN. YES HE COULD. THOUSAND. >> YES. >> AND WE CAN’T WAIT FOR THE START OF GAME ONE. REGGIE, THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING BY. >> SUPERMAN IS IN THE BUILDING. HE WAS THE ORIGINAL. I WAS THE ORIGINAL. YES, INDEED, YES INDEED. REGGIE. REGGIE, YOU HAVE TO BE A BAD BOY TO WEAR THAT SHIRT HERE. THAT’S RIGHT. >> THAT’S RIGHT. LOOK LIKE YOU WERE WEARING. MAKE SURE YOU. >> SHAQ, BEFOR
