“Should be arrested for murdering Claxton” – NBA Twitter shocked as Reggie Miller’s ‘shoot regular’ take DESTROYS Nic Claxton’s intentional miss

Nick Claxton and Reggie Miller

Reggie Miller was a certified trash talker in his playing days. He could not only take the opponents’ soul out with his three-point shooting from anywhere on the field, but he also had as sharp words. Perhaps, the vintage Reggie was back on the courtside, while he was covering Brooklyn Nets and the Phoenix Suns game. The former NBA star predicted that Nic Claxton was making a mistake by intentionally hitting the ball on the rim.

With a 112-115 score on the board and 6.6 seconds remaining on the clock in the 4th quarter, Nic Claxton was fouled by Ish Wainright. Standing on the free throw line for the Brooklyn Nets, Claxton had a chance to make it a one-point game for the Nets. Claxton making both free throws was very unlikely, knowing that he is a bad free-throw shooter. He missed the first free throw. 

Reggie perhaps went into his old-time trash-talking mode. Before Claxton could shoot the second free throw, Miller said that he was going to miss the second as well. The former Indiana Pacers legend said that Claxton should try for a regular free throw and get the rebound “because he is gonna miss it,” 

Claxton, instead of making a regular free throw, tried to hit the ball on the rim that too intentionally and missed the iron horribly. Flabbergasted Miller said that the Nets player didn’t need to attempt such a shot, because he was sure, he was going to miss the ring. “He didn’t need to do it. Shoot regular because you’re gonna miss anyways,” he added

Twitter user crowns Reggie Miller as trash-talking GOAT after he humiliates Nic Claxton

Twitter users took notice of vintage Reggie Miller on the court, trash-talking his opponents, their entire game. Many thought that the Hall of Fame player while covering the game, violated Claxton from his chair. One of the fans wrote, “Miller should be arrested for murdering Claxton with words.” Another fan wrote, “This is why Reggie Miller is the goat.” Here are some more fans’ reactions from Twitter;

Kyrie Irving and the Nets were playing without their certified scorer and the NBA superstar Kevin Durant after he was sidelined due to injury. Irving almost made the mountain turn around as he scored 21 of his 30 points in the 4th quarter. When the Suns were leading by 6 points, Kyrie made a three-pointer to make it 110-113. Claxton had a dunk shot made later to make the game 112-114 for the Nets

However, the Nets had a big task of making a comeback and failed to do so. At the end of the third quarter, the Nets trailed by 74-94 to the Suns. After the game, Irving said that the deficit was too high to cut and win the game eventually for them. ”Sometimes, the hole is too big to come back from,” Irving said.
