Reggie Miller says he is contemplating a return to the NBA, this time with the Boston Celtics.

 

 

Miller, who turns 42 on Aug. 24, played his entire 18-year career with the Indiana Pacers before retiring in 2005. Since his playing days ended he has worked as a television analyst for TNT.

 

Miller was all set to continue that job when Celtics general manager Danny Ainge and coach Doc Rivers asked him to think about joining their revamped team in a reserve role, playing about 15 minutes per game.

 

Miller said he is calling friends and peers, seeking their advice and listening to their feedback before he makes his decision. He still plays recreationally, but must determine if he wants to go through the physical and mental grind of an 82-game season. He also wonders how his body would respond to the intensive training it would take to get him back to NBA shape.

 

The lure of playing in Boston is simple: with Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen added to Paul Pierce, the Celtics feel they have a shot at an NBA championship. Like those three players, the only thing missing from Miller's list of accomplishments is a championship ring.

 

Miller, a five-time NBA All-Star, is seventh on the all-time list of games played with 1,323. He is 13th in scoring (25,279) and holds the NBA record for most made the most 3-pointers in NBA history with 2,560.

 

Since the Celtics' trades that brought in Allen and Garnett, the team has been filling out its roster with less heralded players, including guard Eddie House and center Scot Pollard.

Ugh.

 

That is all.

I'd love to see reggie in the league again.. with dan patrick leaving, what else does he have to do?

Barf.

Hot damn. Go for it Reg.... try and get that ring

lol

 

It's sad to watch one time great players well past their prime try to sell themself for a ring.

Never liked reggie during his playing days.. being rivals and all. But after he retired and i got to listen to him on the radio, absolutely love the guy. Flippin hilarious

oh that would be totally awesome.

i wouldnt put it past danny ainge neither.

 

 

if i'm boston i'm more focused on getting someone to actually distribute the ball, rajon rando isnt it, and someone who can provide something down low, cause thats not garnett.

Brevin Knight seems like the perfect fit for Boston.. looks like hes signing with the Clips though.

I can't wait till the boston fans don't get the ring with their "all-star" team.....i'll guarantee their not going to.

i'd blame danny ainge for that.

the Celts should just sign Boykins and have him average 20 assists a night

 

hot damn I would love to be the PG on this team

If Rondo can play like he did in the last month of the season the Celtics will be in a good spot. It was something like 13.5 ppg, 5.5 assists and 5 rebounds while shhoting 55% from the field.

I hate players who feel their legacy would be more defined by whoring themselves for a ring.

 

It'd be like Marino coming out of retirement to back up Brady. Yeah, you'll get it, but it's not redefining the legacy.

 

If Reggie wants to, great good for him, but looking at that ring with a big green Boston clover probably isn't what we'd call closure for Reggie.

oh that would be totally awesome.

Even if that's the case, they'd still be super thin at the point. They really need a point guard in the worst kind of way.

They definitely do, just sayin if Rondo continues to improve the way he showed he is capable of doing that pg spot is at least upgraded from "nobody"

Once good teams actually get a good scouting report of Rondo and try to keep him from iniating offense, then we would see what would happen.

 

 

Really name one team that actually cared about the Celtics in the last month or really devoted a great in depth updated scouting report of them?

 

 

Its kinda like garbage time, who cares in the end.

 

 

I maintain that the Celtics still have nothing at the point guard position and they still have nothing down low.

Awesome, do it Reggie!

DON'T do it Reggie!!! You're a PACER.
