Reggie Miller is one of the many NBA legends who Michael Jordan deprived of winning an NBA championship. Jordan and his Chicago Bulls ruled the 90s, leaving incredible talents like Miller fighting for that ever-elusive title. Despite failing to win an NBA championship throughout Reggie Miller’s career, he still treasures the fact that he remained true to the Indiana Pacers till the very end.

This shows Miller’s faithfulness in his belief in the organization that picked him during the draft. In an interview with Nick Friedell of ESPN, the Hall Of Famer admittedly said that not once did he ever consider leaving Indiana, even if an opportunity to team up with Michael Jordan for the powerful Chicago Bulls had arisen.

If Michael Jordan ever would have called me and tried to sway me to come to Chicago, I would have told him to go f--k himself! 'I'll be coming to see you on I-65 or whatever that highway is there. I'll be down to see you.

Miller’s commitment to the team defines his career, which is one of the reasons basketball fans love him. In a situation where players had a tendency to change their clubs with a view of winning championships, Miller was a remarkable phenomenon. However, he chose to stay in Indiana and became the leading scorer of the team until now.

In the documentary “The Last Dance,” which highlighted Jordan’s dominance, it was shown that Jordan frequently put his extraordinary effort in order for the Bulls to win. Therefore, Miller had no intention of forming a team composed of other great players in search of an easier road towards the championship. That’s why, he decided to play from the Pacers up to the top level.

Although Miller might not have won his NBA title, he acquired something more significant while still remaining faithful to Indiana. Miller played a major role in the team of Indianapolis. His devotion and achievements for the Pacers will be remembered long after he wins titles.
