Reggie Miller called Game 2 of the Indiana Pacers vs. New York Knicks series Wednesday night for TNT in Madison Square Garden, the site of Miller’s biggest career highlights.
What does Miller expect from Knicks fans?
“I’m looking forward to the atmosphere. People ask me, ‘Aren’t you worried going back to New York City?’ he said on TNT’s pregame show before Game 2. “I own this city, so why would I be worried?”
Actor Ben Stiller had a little something to say to Miller.
