Time doesn’t fade favorite Reggie moment

If you were a Hoosier during the Reggie Miller era, and paid the slightest attention to the Indiana Pacers, there is a 100 percent chance you have a favorite Reggie Miller moment.

Everyone does.

Fact is, you probably have more than one.

There are plenty to choose from.

Maybe yours is Game 5 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals, when Reggie scored 39 points, including 25 in the fourth quarter, in Madison Square Garden to lift the Pacers to a 93-86 win against the New York Knicks.

Or maybe it’s the ever-popular Game 1 of the 1995 Eastern Conference semifinals in MSG, when he scored eight points in 8.9 seconds to rally the Pacers to a miraculous 107-105 win against the hated Knicks.

Or maybe it’s Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals in 1998, when — while being guarded by Michael Jordan — he sank a 3-pointer with 2.9 seconds to play to give the Pacers a 96-94 victory and even the series at 2-all.

Perhaps it’s Game 6 of the 2000 Eastern Conference Finals, when — again at the Garden — he scored 34 points, including 17 in the fourth quarter, to power the Pacers to a win and send them to their first-ever NBA Finals.

Any and all are worthy of being a favorite Reggie Miller moment.

Mine is none of the above.
