RealGM 2023 Top 100 Project - #36 (Reggie Miller)

[f4p]

Vote
Reggie Miller

Alternate
John Havlicek

If manu could have played 3 to 4 more mpg or AD didn't seem like he was injured every year or 2020 playoff shooting didn't seem so astronomically unsustainable, I'd like to pick them here as I think they have played the best basketball of the guys left (even clearly the best for AD) but I will go with Reggie for his longevity, barely missing games, incredible playoff rTS%, and very good team offensive performances and his playoff elevation.

Hondo has a pretty incredible 1969 finals performance, 8 titles to his name, era best longevity, 2 post Russell titles (not very good numbers for the second one, though). I suppose if I'm going with longevity for one guy, I should go with it for the other over a higher peak.

Induction Vote 1: Manu Ginobili

Watch on YouTube

Y'all have seen my argue blue in the face on Manu. Think I'll just leave it in Ben's hands here.

ftr, I find the Ginobili vs Miller vs Havlicek debate to be very, very hard and may not side with Ginobili between them next time I'm forced to pick, but Ginobili's a genius.

Induction Vote 2: Reggie Miller

Arguing for Reggie a good bit over in the Reggie-Top-10-season thread.
