Former Indiana Pacers hall-of-famer Reggie Miller has once again found himself in the spotlight after declaring “The Boogeyman is coming” in anticipation of calling a playoff game between the Pacers and the New York Knicks. Known for his clutch shotmaking and gamesmanship, Miller has a history of interactions with Knicks superfan Spike Lee.
During a standup with TNT’s Inside the NBA crew at Madison Square Garden, Miller joked about how much New Yorkers hate him and boldly stated that he has “owned” the city and the building. The former player’s comments caught the attention of not only Lee but also another well-known fan, Ben Stiller, who walked past Miller during the broadcast and jokingly pointed and shouted at him.
Stiller later hugged it out with Miller on the sideline, showing that it was all in good fun. Spike Lee even presented Miller with two framed copies of New York Daily News and NY Post headlines commemorating their interactions over the years. This playful banter between Miller and Knicks fans has only added to the excitement surrounding the upcoming playoff game.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the showdown between the Pacers and the Knicks, with Miller’s bold declaration adding an additional layer of intrigue to the matchup. Whether the “Boogeyman” will indeed make an appearance remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – Reggie Miller knows how to keep fans on the edge of their seats, both on and off the court. Stay tuned to see how this playful rivalry unfolds on the big stage.
