Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
Some people value peak, and CP3's peak is better than Stockton, who's basically there on insane, productive longevity.

CP3 being the 2nd best PG in NBA history is a fight I'm willing to fight.

There are definitely 40 players better than reggie but he is in the top 40 of inspiring hatred from opponents and thats something to be valued

I've been in a few unflattering arguments with fellow Pacers fans about PG being better than Reggie, as much as I enjoyed watching Reggie play.

Your avatar is the best argument for him being on the list.

If Reggie is off, who is on?

Switch Kobe and David Robinson. I don't care if its only post merger stats, KAJ should be higher.

I'm a dubs fan and I'm pretty nervous. I don't think the dubs will come in flat but you never know. And I hate that everyone is making the Cavs such huge dogs– as if the Cavs need any extra motivation.

Ranking is always going to be arbitrary and waft gently your baked in biases. If you rank purely based on one stat or one catchall stat, you're sure to miss plenty.

In my opiniorn, Reginald is a top 50 player, I don't care where you put him in the 50, because he played the game like no one else in his time, and was very good

Assuming a crazy world in where the 2 year rule goes through, doesn't that potentially make the first draft for that era really bad?

Four year degrees would really create a gap in talent.

He's one of the best scorers in NBA/ABA history. Guys with 22,000+ points and 50%+ from 2P range and 33.3%+ from 3P range:

-LeBron James
-Reggie Miller

Which Golden State or Cleveland Cavaliers player would you most enjoy having a beer with. The caveat is that their entire entourage has to be there too, so with Lebron you get 100 handlers and security guards.

This must be the only argument that regular posters in this thread lose to casual homer fans because PG isn't better than Reggie in single season, career, any statistical category except just general rebounding.

George's game will also be fortunate to age anywhere near as well as Reggie's did. Reggie's postseason legacy is legendary as well and George is probably going to leave the Pacers high and dry soon so even that isn't really comparable.

I'm actually not sure what the argument for PG is in this hypothetical head to head.

PG is fine, is obviously the best Pacer in a while but ultimately will be remembered by Pacers fans the same way Danny Granger is if he bolts for LA.

Reggie is always #1 in my heart, and #2 in NBA-related choke references right behind Latrell Sprewell.
