Reggie Miller to join Basketball Hall of Fame

Reggie Miller knows exactly what he will be most proud of when he is inducted in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday.

Not his 25,279 NBA points, 14th all-time. Not his 2,560 three-pointers made, No. 2 all-time. Not his 18-year career with one team, the Indiana Pacers.

It will be that he and his sister, Cheryl Miller, will become the only siblings in the Basketball Hall of Fame entering as players.

“I think it’s more cool for the Miller family to have a brother-sister act in the Hall of Fame,” he said. “That’s what I’m most excited about because no one else can say that.”

Reggie Miller and 10 others will be inducted Friday: Lidia Alexeeva, Don Barksdale, Mel Daniels, Phil Knight, Katrina McClain, Hank Nichols, Don Nelson, Ralph Sampson, Chet Walker, and Jamaal Wilkes. The All-American Redheads, pioneers in women’s basketball, will be inducted in the team category.
