Some of former Indiana Pacers' shooting guard Reggie Miller's brightest career moments came at the New York Knicks' expense.
There was Game 5 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals, when that skinny ass dude dropped 25 points in the fourth quarter and finished with 39 to lead the Pacers to a victory over the Knicks on the Garden floor.
And who could forget, when Reg scored eight points in 8.9 seconds in Game 1 of the 1995 Eastern Conference semifinals against the Knicks to lead the Pacers to a comeback victory.
Well, Miller killed the Knicks then and he's killing them now...with words.
"Right now, they are a league-wide joke," Miller told the New York Daily News. "It's sad because they are an historic and iconic franchise. But people think they are late night comedy jokes."
Wow. As a dude that grew up as a Knicks' fan, I must admit ... everything Miller, the Knicks' killer, said is true. I can't front. There's no reason to. The Knicks are the f**king joke of the league - ON AND OFF THE COURT.
Off the court ya got Isiah Thomas calling that lady a bitch (allegedly), and every word out his mouth. On the court, you got a roster full of streaky overpaid shooters, none of which play a lick of defense (except David Lee and Renaldo Balkman). I mean, these cats don't even foul hard.
What's interesting is Miller went on to say that:
"With the talent New York has, they should easily be in the top six. Only Orlando and Boston are running away with the conference. New York is not out of it. All they need is a four- or five-game winning streak and they've already won two of them."
Yes, the East is weak, but I think Miller was just trying to be nice to the Knicks after his initial comment. These dudes ain't making the playoffs and if they do, they're out first round.
Miller even went on to criticize Thomas for allowing Stephon Marbury to play following his whole leaving town bit.
Man, bottom line is the Knicks are a mess in every way imaginable. What's worst is these guys think they're better than they are.
Prime example - the Knicks host Boston tonight at the Garden. (Interestingly enough, Miller will broadcast the game live). Anyway, we all know Boston is easily one of the frontrunners in the East with the big three.
Well, Quentin Richardson doesn't see nothing special in the trio.
“We’re not in awe of them. They ain’t won no championships.â€
...And you ain't winning one with the Knicks either, you bum ass motherf**ker! All these words - and yes, they will get back to the Celtics - are going to do is rile up KG, P2 and Jesus Shuttleworth to drop a sh*tload of points and bang every board in sight.
Let me ask y'all this: Are the Knicks the worst franchise in the L? The worst in sports!?
Speak on it!
1st B!TCHEZ!!! Eat a d!ck up. Kiss my black a$$ Reggie. Grow some eyebrows and get ya weight up. Ya look sick my nigga and your carpet munching sister is more of man than you are...and she got a better post-up game.
As of right now. FUCK YEA!! NY is like the basketball capital of the world, the rucker, ebc, etc. but how the fuck is the entire city so good at ballin, but they professional team is terrible. Go get some cats from the 5 burroughs and replace the entire knick lineup!
Yeah, the Knicks suck, they are definitly the worst franchise in the league right now. But i would go as far as to say in all sports. Shit the Dolphins haven't won a game yet so they are the worst franchise in sports right now.
Reggie is dead on, The Knicks are the most embarrassing team in all of professional sports right now, Miami might be having a worse season but they look like angels compared to those fools in the Garden. For the record I was born in Brooklyn..
Dont Blame Reggie because the Knicks suck. The entire organization is to blame. Reggie just pointing out the obvious.
Reggie ain't no lie! Knicks suck, son!
Nah, The Dolphins are still holding that Crown.
A spade is a spade. The Knicks are full of "Rucker" players. Niggas who think that just because you had fame at the Rucker (or whateva tha fuck New York niggas think is hot) that they're NBA worthy. Yeah right. They got a bunch of "me" players and a "me" coach. Reggie was right.
The Knicks haven't been the same since the Patrick Ewing days. Oh man those were the days, Knicks-Bulls straight going at each other. But Reggie Miller really does need to just hush! I mean dam homey you ain't won no championship and personally I don't think he was ever that great. I mean he was alright but not a great player!
Word son, Fuck that ole floresent highlighter looking nigga Reggie Miller son. He aint won no championship neigthor b. I bet i can even beat him in a free style battle yo. Yo, i like the knicks, they remind me of New York rappers yo, over hyped with no quality. Word to u non New Yorkers. Anybody got a problem can see me on the corner of Lennox and MLK yo. Bring yo card board nigga, we having a pop and lock off. Loser buys the winner a set of used tims and a cold tuna subway. Word son.
Okay Reggie it it on the head but shit, what championship has that Bird A$$ nucca ever one. I'm not even a true Knicks fan, just like some of the talent they have on the team. So I expect my man Nate "Lil Dude with a Big Heart" Robertson to punch him in his face when he sees him.
It is amazing how the Knickerbockers screw off millions of bucks season after season. Hell, they're even paying Larry Brown to this day. WOW.
I'm gonna have to go and agree with Q. Richardson........the Big 3 is just hyped by ESPN EAST COAST bias. It's all about attitude. When Paul Pierce and Ray Allen break down later this season, (like they ALWAYS do), the Celtics will become the Timberwolves.
BALEEVE that.
Well considering the off the court stuff....yes we're probably the worst team in the league...Record wise we're not and we've won 2 in a row....I don't know why you've given up on the playoffs already but I wouldn't count this team out...Everytime has hurdles to overcome which (should) ultimately make a team better. I'll still say the Knicks make the playoffs (7-8 seed) and get bounced out first round.
I would have 2 say the Bulls, but Karma is a mother when U get rid of the Gr8est player ever 2 wear a Knicks uniform, the way they did Big Pat.
I can tell some of U R still salty @ "Ears" 4 the way he used 2 light the Knicks up

Dre the KNicks always got rid of the good playas before they was suppose to back then. IMO: Rod Strickland, Mark Jackson the first time and many more but then they keep some playas that they should have never signed,and back then they never gave Pat someone to hold him down so he could rest his knees, they wanted to be a 3 gurad team, instead of helping there big man.
I think if Steph drives to the hole aggresively and gets to the line and dishes like assists a game, then the Knicks have a chance. I also like Quentin Richardsons leadership and hustle and he could play D. If they play like a team, then I see the playoffs.
the knicks couldnt beat the t-wolves last year kg destroyed them alone, i doubt its gonna be any different today....me being from ny i always root for the home team but it bothers that the knicks are that bad with a roster like that...i think its the fans and those fuckin colors haha
Yo man you sound like a real sellout. How the hell are you gonna be knick fan and not have any faith in them. And of course their not the worst team in the league, they'll probably beat the Supersonics.
miller still madd isiah was benchin is old ass when he was coach
the knicks are the worst team in tha L. it's sad cus they actually have talent but when there's no team chemistry and u don't play defense, all the talent in the world won't make u a playoff contender, let alone win a chip

it kills me how the bulls had a skid just as long as the knicks and no one screams they are a joke. or golden state,,or new jersey they have all had long loosing streaks just as long as the knicks. my point is GET THE FUCK OFF THE KNICKS DICK!
Word, i never fucked with the Knicks but i'm from Chicago so maybe there is a little animosity between them and bulls fans but... Fuck em!!!
@NewYorkNigga
obvisously your not from NY. Your probably some corn liqour drinking slow down south nigga or a wack west cost nigga with Soul Glow in your hair. you need to go kill your self.
Real Talk I stopped watching the Knicks after Ewing Left.
ARealNYNegro says...
Real talk, I was thinking the same motherfucking thing. This nigga thinks we're supposed to believe he's from NY because he listened to a Dipset song? Faggot don't know shit about NY or Harlem. Look at these New York hating clowns sneeking shots in a sports blog. It ain't our fault that they cities are lame and they watch us constantly.
First of all, Reggie Miller don't know shit about winning. He a LOSER that is not Hall of fame caliber and never will be. The Knicks used to give it to him regularly so that is just bitter grapes.
That having bee said, I am a knick fan who hates the people running this franchise. It ain't the worst team in the league but it has been near the bottom for too many years straight now. How do you have the leagues highest payroll and can't even make the playoffs? Part of it has to be Karma. I have always hated Isaiah, Steph is a chump who I wish would just get cut. He's another loser with a great one on one game but not leadership skills. His teammates didn't even want him to play after he went back home and blackmailed the coach in the media. EVERY TEAM HE HAS LEFT HAS GOTTEN BETTER!!!!! That isn't a coincidence. The owners should sell the team to people who actually care about New York and our team. We don't need the arrogant ass pig headed Dolans further running our Knicks into the ground. Sorry, I just love my city and our teams. We deserve better.
OH HELL NO THE KNICKS AIN'T THE WORST FRANCHISE IN THE LEAGUE !!! THE HAWKS MAYBE !!! ANYWAY CHECK THIS VIDEO OUT ON YOUTUBE : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP7l592SrXI ... IT MIGHT BRING SOME MEMORIES BACK TO REGGIE MILLER MIND, I DON'T THINK HE WAS JOKIN' AT THIS MOMENT !!!
Somebody hurry up and write up a review of that GOD-AWFULLY-EMBARRASSING BLOWOUT! LMFAO! Can't blame THAT on tha South, Bitches!
The problem is you have a Nigger in charge!!!
I know what you mean, cleanning the toliet is one thing, but coach and gm is another
