From the time he entered the league in 1987, Reggie Miller was always trying to prove he belonged on the list of the NBA’s top shooting guards.
Miller told a story to Jimmy Kimmel about his first meeting with Michael Jordan as a rookie. Miller had outscored him 10-4 in the first half, and as the teams headed to their locker rooms for intermission, the rookie made the mistake of trash-talking Jordan, saying there was a “new kid in town.”
Well, as the old Jim Croce song goes, you don’t tug on Superman’s cape. Jordan outscored Miller 40-2 in the second half, leading the Bulls to a victory.
