Reggie Miller finally made his much-anticipated appearance in “The Last Dance” on Sunday, and he not only did not disappoint, he got roasted for his statement.
The Indiana Pacers legend seriously convinced himself that it was his ultimate destiny to retire Michael Jordan:
“We all looked at the Bulls as the standard model of success,” Miller said. “They were considered the best at that time. But we felt, and I feel to this day, we were the better team. The whole thing is, there was whispers that this was going to be Mike’s last year. So I think a perfect storm was brewing. In my mind, I was thinking … ‘this is it. You’re going to retire Michael Jordan.’”
