Reggie wasn't quite the center of attention during the 1987 NBA draft. 10 players were selected before Indiana Pacers chose to draft Miller with the 11th pick. He was surprised because he didn't know much about this franchise and Pacer fans weren't quite happy with this choice because Indiana didn't draft the local star Steve Alford.

It didn't take long for Miller to gain some respect from the fans as Reggie progressed fast and by his 3rd season he already averaged 24.6 ppg and that still remains the highest scoring average of his career. He also proved that he is a great 3-point shooter by hitting 150 out of 362 threes. He was selected to play in the All-Star game for the first time in his career. Reggie was a beast during his early years in the league.

Reggie hit more and more threes every year and in 1992-93 season he set a new franchise record with 167 three-point field goals. The great 3 point shooter Miller also scored his career high 57 points against the Hornets that season. He averaged more than 20 ppg in each season from 1990 to 1993 but Indiana never won a playoff series. However it all changed next season...

Reggie's points per game average had slipped a bit but he did hit his long-distance shots very accurately (his 3p% was 0.421). The most important thing was that his team was playing very good and Pacers finished with franchise-high 47 wins. Indiana beat Orlando and top-seeded Atlanta as they advanced to the conference finals where they played the Knicks. These series took Reggie's popularity to a whole another level mainly because of his epic game 5 performance. This was probably the best game of his career as he was practically unstoppable. Reggie scored 39 points and 25 of them came in the 4th quarter. Although Knicks won the series Indiana and Reggie showed that they are for real. Miller was the leading scorer of the USA Basketball team that won the gold medal at the 1994 FIBA World Championship.

1994-1995 was another great season for Reggie as he averaged 19.6 points. Indiana's roster saw improvement - they signed point guard Mark Jackson and he teamed with Reggie to help the Pacers win 52 games. Reggie was a starter at the All-star game for the first time in his career. Indiana easily dispatched Atlanta in the first round of the 1995 playoffs and they were going to face a familiar foe in the second round. Reggie was ready!

Miller proved once again that he's a clutch 3 point shooter and single-handedly turned around game 1 by scoring 8 points in 9 seconds. He averaged 22.6 ppg in these series and Indiana beat the Knicks in 7 games. Unfortunately Pacers great playoff run was stopped by Orlando Magic and for the second season in a row they lost in the conference finals.

During the next 2 seasons Reggie remained as one of the top scorers and probably the best 3-point shooter in the league but his team wasn't quite successful until 1997-98 season. However in the 1996-97 season Miller hit career-high 229 pointers and his 3P% was also spectacular -.427.

Larry Bird started to coach the Pacers in 1997 and next season turned out to be very successful. Miller was great and for the third time in his career he was selected to the All-NBA third team. Pacers won 58 games and had a deep playoff run and in the conference finals they met with a team which could draft Miller in 1987 but instead took Horace Grant - the 5 time NBA champions Chicago Bulls. In game 4 Reggie was the hero as he won the game with this clutch shot. Indiana had a legit chance to advance to the Finals as they were leading in the 4th quarter of game 7 but eventually they lost.

Next season Indiana Pacers again advanced to the Conference Finals where they again got beat this time by the Knicks. In 1999-2000 Reggie's ppg slipped to 18.1 but he still earned his 5th All-star appearance which turned out to be his last. Pacers remained an eastern powerhouse and with Micheal Jordan gone their chances to finally advance to the finals were good and they used them. Indiana beat New York in the Conference Finals and earned their first NBA Finals appearance. Reggie finally had a shot to win his first ring at age 34 but LA Lakers turned out to be stronger and the series were over after 6 games.

During the next season Reggie became the first player to make 2000 3-point shots over the course of his career. During the first few years of the 21st century Indiana didn't go far in the playoffs but Reggie was putting up very solid stats for a veteran player which he had become. However he still remained a great 3-point shooter and provided some amazing clutch plays in the playoffs. Definitely one of his craziest clutch shots ever in this Reggie video.

2003-04 season was successful for the Indiana Pacers as they advanced to the eastern conference finals where they lost to the eventual champions Detroit in 6 games but Reggie wasn't the leader of the team anymore. Pacers were strong and it seemed possible that Reggie could finally win his first championship ring but the pistons pacers brawl which occurred in the November of 2004 ruined his chances. Several Indiana players were suspended and the core of the team was severely damaged. So Reggie finally retired after the season.

After his retirement he joined TNT as an NBA analyst and he even considered to come back from his retirement and join the Boston Celtics in 2007 after they formed their big three but that never happened.

Ten Reasons to Get Lpg Conversions for your Car

Fuel savings

Whilst the Government carries on increasing tax duty on Petrol and Diesel, LPG has had its duty reduced twice during the last two budgets. Owners of fleet cars, taxis and other high mileage vehicles can save thousands of pounds on annual fuel costs by converting their cars to run on LPG

Costs no more for insurance

Many motorists believe that an LPG converted vehicle will be more expensive to insure. However, a survey carried out by the LPG Association (LPGA), essentially showed that this isn’t the case. The top 20 insurance companies all said they insure a LPG converted car so long as the conversion had been carried out by an LPG approved installer. Out of the 20, only two insurers advised they would charge a higher premium.

LPG is safer than diesel or petrol

According to the LPG Association (LPGA), the gas is substantially safer to use than petrol or diesel. This is mainly due to the fact that the fuel is stored in a robust fuel tank, which is tested to rigorous standards. LPG tanks also shut down the gas supply if you have an accident.

It has never been easier to fill up

There are now well over 1,300 LPG stations in the UK. Traditional petrol pumps work much in the same way as LPG pumps and all LPG stations follow pretty much the same way of doing things. Most LPG pumps have clear diagrams to help on your first visit and it's impossible to put diesel or petrol in your LPG tank by mistake.

LPG is popular all over the world

Travelling in an LPG vehicle can almost halve the cost of travelling in a petrol-powered car. LPG is readily available in Europe, however it is more commonly known as Autogas or GPL.

Autogas also enjoys great popularity in Australia, The Netherlands, Italy, Serbia, Poland, Hong Kong and Korea. The former Soviet republic of Armenia may, however, be the world leader in autogas use.

Reduced maintenance levels

LPG is clean burning, contains no lead or carbon deposits and LPG car owners experience on overall reduction in engine wear and tear. Maintenance costs on spark plugs, pistons, rings and valves are also reduced.

Government grants available

Whilst the Government continues to reduce duty on friendly alternative fuels and offer Congestion Charge exemption they are also offering grants to car owners, fleets and businesses which consider conversion to LPG or other environmentally friendly alternative fuels.

Congestion Charges

LPG car owners can sometimes qualify for a 100% discount on Congestion Charges. Your car has to be an approved vehicle type in band 4 of the Transport Energy Powershift Register. Your vehicle must also be supplied or converted by an LPGA Approved supplier. Your vehicle must also meet the emission standards set by the Transport Energy CleanUp Register.

You can switch back to petrol at any time

LPG works in such a way that, at anytime you choose, you can change back to petrol at the flick of a switch. The switch is mounted on the dash board of your car and is used to switch between LPG and Petrol. Converting a car back from LPG to petrol is also a painless process and reputable dealers should offer this as part of their guarantee.

Environmentally friendly

Traditional fuels such as petrol and diesel are constantly taking the blame from the Government as the primary cause of low quality air conditions in the UK. Automotive vehicles emit a mixture of harmful gases including Sulphur Dioxide Hydrocarbons, Micro particulates and Nitric Oxides to name but a few.

Poor air quality, due to high levels of toxic emissions, imposes costs to society that are mainly related to health care costs. Health problems resulting from these emissions include Congestive heart failure, Respiratory problems and Bronchitis, which all relate to poor air quality.

LPG cars produce substantially less emissions according to research carried out by the Norfolk County Council. Individuals and organisations that adopt the environmentally-friendly alternative automotive fuels and technologies are not only generating cost savings for themselves but also for the larger society.

Who did you like more Penny & HIll or Tmac & Vince carter?

All four of these player were very proclaimed basketball players due to their amazing abilities.... they were also sponsered by many companies ( Nike, adidas, tmobile, sprite, gatorade etc)...... which duo did you like the best?

Mine: I am avid Penny hardaway fan but I wasn't too crazy about Grant HIll I guess becaude I didn't watch too many Pistons games............. I would go with VC and Tmac their dunks and spectacular scoring really made the NBA fun in the 2000 decade ...I wish VC had more passion for the game and Tmac would at least have some high success in the playoffs or rings by now

i would go with T Mac and Vince Carter. i might be doing this because i haven't gotten the oppurtunity to follow grant hill and penny hardaway that much in their prime. (despite seeing some great highlights of grant hill dunks). and the way grant hill has played this season for the Suns has been amazing for how long hes been in the NBA.

it is a shame though that neither T Mac or Vince Carter have been that successful in the post season. Mcgrady was one of my favourite players at one point.. when he was with the Magic he probably was my favourite player. Vince Carters dunks back then were outstanding too.

Detroit Pistons: NBA All-Time Starting Fives
The Detroit Pistons have an interesting identity. Despite having some fantastic offensive players throughout the years, this is a franchise in which individual achievement has had little correlation with team success. Not one of the Pistons’ nine all-time leading scorers (by scoring average, minimum 100 games) possesses a ring from one of the franchise’s three championship seasons (1989, 1990 ...
