Default Re: Celtics want Reggie Miller

Tanner,

I'm a huge Miller fan. If by "a bunch of 3 point shooting statistics" you mean attempts and makes, then sure, that has some historical merit to help his case. And unless Ray Allen totally dies on us, he'll hold those records soon, in addition to his attempts/makes in a season record.

He's just not an all time superstar. He only has a few seasons of 20 PER seasons, and one 21 PER season. Those are good numbers, not great. In fact, he compares a lot with guys like Mitch Richmond, Steve Smith, and on the low scale, Wally World. He's a notch up on those guys, but not by much (except maybe Wally.. that might be too mean of me).

His HoF probability by basketball-reference's stat is 0.042. Granted, I think that stat is [censored], but it has a high success rate.

fwiw, I'm fine with him getting in. I think he's an important figure historically, and I'm fine with that being a reason. But if he gets in first ballot while someone like 'Nique had to wait a couple years, that's ridiculous.
