AVM Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2966170 Reggie Miller says he is contemplating a return to the NBA, this time with the Boston Celtics. Miller Miller, who turns 42 on Aug. 24, played his entire 18-year career with the Indiana Pacers before retiring in 2005. Since his playing days ended he has worked as a television analyst for TNT. Miller was all set to continue that job when Celtics general manager Danny Ainge and coach Doc Rivers asked him to think about joining their revamped team in a reserve role, playing about 15 minutes per game. Miller said he is calling friends and peers, seeking their advice and listening to their feedback before he makes his decision. He still plays recreationally, but must determine if he wants to go through the physical and mental grind of an 82-game season. He also wonders how his body would respond to the intensive training it would take to get him back to NBA shape. The lure of playing in Boston is simple: with Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen added to Paul Pierce, the Celtics feel they have a shot at an NBA championship. Like those three players, the only thing missing from Miller's list of accomplishments is a championship ring. Miller, a five-time NBA All-Star, is seventh on the all-time list of games played with 1,323. He is 13th in scoring (25,279) and holds the NBA record for most made the most 3-pointers in NBA history with 2,560. Since the Celtics' trades that brought in Allen and Garnett, the team has been filling out its roster with less heralded players, including guard Eddie House and center Scot Pollard. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eh...

124 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Of all 16 teams in NBA history to have 3 players average 20+ ppg in a season, none of them won the championship and one failed to make the playoffs. I'm just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wont be able to beat the Bulls or the Pistons... maybe even the Heat if Shaq is healthy and Dwade is on his game... and dont forget about the Cavs At least they will be an exciting team for their fans... they have been embarrassing lately... and its not fair for a player like Pierce to be in that situation... at least they are trying...

I know, but they should learn, a team of old, not even old just plain ole' super-stars does not win championships. Don't they watch any Yankees games up there? Thats all they care about, how the Sox are doing and if the Yankees are losing. Look at our boys now ecurb, younger guys, not exactly superstars like Cano, Melky, Duncan, Chamberlin, etc. are going to be carrying this team along with Jeter, Posada and ARod. I'll tell you this much, it will be more exciting for me when I go to a Celtics game or two with Gainzo over the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
