Reggie Miller Jersey NBA Finals
The last jerseys that Reggie Miller wore for the Indiana Pacers remained the same from 1998-2005. It was these jerseys which Miller would wear to the NBA finals and also narrowly missing out in the Eastern Conference Finals twice (one to Chicago Bulls and another to Detroit).
We all looked at the Bulls as the standard model of success. They were considered the best at that time. But we felt, and I feel to this day, we were the better team. The whole thing is, there was whispers that this was going to be Mike’s last year. So I think a perfect storm was brewing. In my mind, I was thinking … ‘this is it. You’re going to retire Michael Jordan
