Reggie Miller and Celtics - Worth a Shot!

Once a shooter, Always a shooter.

And not many can put it up like Reggie! Ask Spike Lee and the NY Knicks.

Reggie Miller can definitely help the Celtics and as a true sportsman of the game, I hope he comes back for that elusive ring. No one thought that he would be such a top quality player coming out of UCLA but he proved everyone wrong. He might just do it again.

Bob Ryan has always been one of my favorite sportswriters. A snippet of his article is below.

The entire article can be found at http://www.boston.com/sports/columnists/bob_ryan_blog/

Bob is not to sure about Reggie's ability to help the Celtics. I am. With Garnett, Pierce and Allen around him, he could be deadly once again.

They have maybe 4 years to get that championsip if Ray Allen stays healthy.

With or without Reggie, one thing Bob and I agree on is that the Celtics have the SIZZLE back

What? Hal Greer wasn't available? (Had to get the cheap shot out of the way quickly).

Reggie Miller, huh? Makes sense on one level. If you recall, when Danny Ainge was bombarded by assertions that old shooting guards never die, they merely fall apart at age 32 or so, he cited Reggie Miller as an example to the contrary. And Reggie did retire after 18 seasons with his head pretty high, averaging 14.8 points a game in the 18th and final season of a very distinguished career coming off picks to drill jump shots, spotting up for threes, and banking in patented wrong-legged leaners.
