Reggie Miller gave Steph Curry the blueprint | Offensive Legends Ep. 2

As many of you have noted, the Bird record was through 1988, not 1998. Those words sound a lot a like apparently!

Reggie is a pioneer and it’s even more amazing when you consider the era he played in

In so many ways, I love your analysis on players like Miller even more than your series on the greatest peaks. Nobody will ever put Reggie on the GOAT list, but that does nothing to take away from just how effective a player he was, and how terrifying it was to face him late with a small lead.

Living in Indianapolis my whole life and being born in 1990. Reggie miller is my childhood for sports. Even those retro 90’s jerseys bring back nostalgia that I can’t explain.

Babe wake up, new Thinking Basketball just dropped

Just like greatest peaks, part of the fun of this series is gonna be us guessing/pondering who's gonna get an episode and who won't. This should be good

One of the most underrated players of all time. Playoff Reggie was unreal

That shot of Manu in the opening has me so excited. I hope he gets a full episode breakdown like this. His game is truly unique, and every opportunity to prevent him from becoming known as "just a 6th man" should be taken.

I think Time has been very generous to Reggie Miller. The more time passes, the more people tend to appreciate how good he was. Well deserved.

It's episode 2 and I can't wait for season 3 and defense already. This prolly gonna be a banger still

Reggie was a nightmare... Watching your team play against his Pacers is a recipe for nervous breakdown, even if your team is up by 10 with 2 minutes remaining. That teammate grab play is legendary.

Ray Allen was a stud, but I do find it funny how arguments involving him vs Reggie almost never bring up how Reggie consistently ramped it up in the playoffs and became an elite offensive force

Love that curry is not letting Reggie’s name be forgotten, so so cool man

Another great video from TB. It’s interesting that Miller was not only punished by the anti-three-point sentiment of his day, but also by a lack of reliable three-point shooting around him. In a world where there’s only one or two volume 40% three-point shooters in the league, teams can’t even effectively take advantage of the gravity of such an elite sniper because everyone else is packed within 18 feet. Curry creates layups for Green, but Miller couldn’t do the same for , say, Smits — not because he wasn’t a good enough shooter or even because coaches didn’t value the three appropriately, but because the ancillary shooters that you’d need to create the space for Smits to roll to the basket just didn’t exist. In 2015, even excluding Klay, Curry had enough shooting around him to mitigate this issue. It’s both impressive and unfortunate that Miller was so ahead of his time. It’s fun to imagine what you could do as a time-traveling GM if you could acquire him and surround him with good-enough shooting.

This is one of those moments when I really hear “Where is Larry Bird in all this ?” The role of the disruptor and a great off ball player. Yes, Reggie was ahead of his time. Thanks for this.

Players like Steph and Jokic not needing to dominate the ball make their teams better sense their not forced to be spot up/corner shooters

YUUUUUUS, I've always wanted a Reggie Miller video. From anybody really, but Thinking Basketball? My life is complete.

26:20 This is truly amazing I’m blown away I didn’t know he was THAT good🫡 Imagine that ten year run from 92-02 in this era😮‍💨 He was ahead of his time for s

Understanding the gravity that you posses to bend a defense is a massive skill that all stars should learn to be effective without the ball

As a Warriors fan, so many of these plays shown in the first part are to the letter what the Dubs do. I now wish I was in a position to interview Kerr because I wonder whether he took some of his playbook from those Pacers teams.
