Indiana Pacers Legend Reggie Miller Sends Stern Warning to New York Knicks: ‘Boogeyman Is Coming’

Miller will be making his return to Madison Square Garden for Game 2. He obviously won’t be suiting up for the Pacers, but he will be part of the TNT broadcast that will be calling the game. At this point, it is abundantly clear that Miller is more than ready to rekindle an old flame:

“Just know, the Boogeyman is coming back to town to call the game,” Miller said half-jokingly during an interview on The Dan Patrick Show on Monday (h/t ESPN). “I am coming.”

To be fair, Miller did promise that he would remain professional throughout the broadcast and that he wouldn’t have any bias toward the Pacers. Be that as it may, we all know which team he will be rooting for deep down — and Knicks fans know this well, too.

“I’m sure I’ll hear the chants, I’m sure I’ll hear all those naughty words,” Miller said of the fans in MSG. “I’m good with that, but I’m there to do a job, to call a game. I’m sure this will be a great series.

“… I will be surprised during the game if I don’t hear, ‘Reggie sucks.’ Actually, I’ll be a little hurt if I don’t hear, ‘Reggie sucks.’ I kind of want that.”

Some things never change. Miller has always loved playing the antagonist — especially against the Knicks — and is very much looking forward to resuming this all-too-familiar role come Game 2.
