Q & A: Reggie Miller

SI: Your life is on the line. Pick one current NBA player and one from history to take the shot.

Miller: In history, MJ. Today, AI. It's sad to have my life in the little man's hands, but I'll go with AI because I know he will make the shot. Or he'll get fouled and make the two free throws to save me.

SI: Did you love being the guy in the black hat?

Miller: When you grow up in a household with the greatest women's basketball player ever and you are being compared to your sister [ Cheryl Miller] every single day, you are always somewhat behind the eight ball. In high school going to road games, I would hear chants. Going to road games going to UCLA, I would hear the chants. Trying to outplay my sister or come out from her shadow, I think that gave me an edge, or a chip on my shoulder. That's where the flair and a little bit of the drama came from.
