INDIANAPOLIS- The latest from ESPN is that Boston Celtics GM Danny Ainge contacted Reggie Miller about possibly returning to the NBA. Miller, currently an analyst for TNT, says he is seeking advice from his friends and peers before he makes his decision.
Would this be good for Miller or the NBA? Personally, I think Reggie has a little left in the tank. He has always kept himself in great shape, and is only going on 42. He can still shoot the basketball, and when you can do that, there is always room on an NBA team for you. And Miller coming back would be great for the NBA. Reggie played during a period where the NBA and its playoffs were very popular. Bringing Miller back would bring back some of the TV viewers that were lost with the Donagy crisis.
The only people that might be against this move are the fans of the Indiana Pacers. Miller played his entire career with the Pacers, and if he came back for a different team, it could ruin that. But let's make it very clear- Miller has paid his dues to the Pacers and he has every right to go for a ring. He made the Pacers a good team while he was there, and owes them absolutely nothing. However, Boston is not going to win a championship this year. Even after bringing in Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, this team has no defense and will not be able to compete with the teams in the Western Conference.
This story is nice, but it is unrealistic. We heard the exact same thing a year ago about Miller coming back to play for the Mavericks. He is happy with his current position and will not be returning to the NBA. Period.
