About

Reggie Miller was born on August 24, 1965 in Riverside, California. He is an American retired professional basketball player who played his entire 18-year career with the Indiana Pacers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Miller grew up in Riverside and graduated from Riverside Polytechnic High School before attending UCLA. He was a four-time All-American and won the Wooden Award in 1987.

Miller was drafted by the Pacers 11th overall in the 1987 NBA draft. During his NBA career, Miller made five All-Star appearances and won three 3-point contests. He led the league in free throw percentage four times and recorded the second most three-point field goals made in NBA history.

Miller finished his career as a member of the 50–40–90 club (shooting 50% from the field, 40% from three-point range, and 90% from the free throw line) for two seasons (1996–97 & 1997–98). In 2005 he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. After his retirement, he served as analyst for TNT's Inside The NBA program until 2019.
