The Eastern Conference Finals have two historic rivals playing each other in the Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks. These two teams faced off against each other several times in the playoffs in the 1990s.

Not only do these two teams have history, but they also have animosity towards each other. The fan bases don’t like each other either, and a big reason for that is Reggie Miller and what he did to the Knicks.

Other than Michael Jordan, no one was more of a pain in the side of the Knicks than Miller. He had many famous playoff moments at the expense of the Knicks, mostly in the 1990s.

Miller now gets to call the Eastern Conference Finals between the Pacers and the Knicks in the first matchup between these two teams this late in the playoffs since 2000. It’s a matchup made in heaven for TNT.

Miller’s partner analyst for this series, Stan Van Gundy, loves the fact that Miller gets to call this series, which is the final ever series on TNT.

“For us, it’s fabulous. For TV, it’s fabulous. If you think about this, it’s going to be the last series we’re going to do on TNT and we get Knicks-Pacers in the conference finals with Reggie Miller? That’s storybook stuff … the only thing missing from Game 1, quite honestly, was Spike (Lee). I think it’s great theater having Reggie there. Some of the fans were yelling at him. Most of it good good-natured. Some of it not so much, to be quite honest. Reggie handles it all really well. And for us it’s just a great, great storyline.”

For the casual NBA fan, it certainly brings another element to this series. It brings a sense of history that not many of the current players on these teams really know about. Tyrese Haliburton and Jalen Brunson know, though.

Those two players were prominent in Game 1 when the Pacers completed an epic comeback. Indiana is now trying to win Game 2 to take both games in New York with Miller once again on the call in Madison Square Garden.

Miller will head to NBC once this season is over to become one of their lead analysts now that they have the NBA package. He will get to call more games for both teams in the future.
