| Pacers Reggie Miller Inducted Into Hall Of Fame | ||||

He was loved by all Indiana, seemingly hated by everyone else, and all involved in basketball seem to have an opinion of Reggie Miller one way or another but yesterday the sharp-shooting Pacers guard was inducted in the Basketball Hall-of-Fame. Miller joined his sister Cheryl in the Hall, becoming the first brother/sister combination to do so and Reggie paid trubute to his sister during his acceptance speech.
"I'm proud to say I am not on this stage if it wasn't for you, Cheryl Deann. We rode your shoulders all the way here. So thank you for your help," Miller said as his sister stood by with tears in her eyes. Also honored at the ceremony were Don Nelson, the winningest coach in NBA history; three-time NCAA player of the year and former Houston Rocket, Ralph Sampson and Nike co-founder Phil Knight. Miller retired as the NBA's all time leader in three-point field goals made with 2,560, until Ray Allen broke that mark in 2011.
