A Legend Is Gone
Born on August 24, 1965, in Riverside, California, Reginald Wayne Miller defied expectations throughout his life. Born with hip deformities that required him to wear braces as a child, Miller battled adversity from the very beginning. Yet, it was this early struggle that forged the warrior spirit he would carry throughout his 18-season NBA career—all of them played with the Indiana Pacers.
News of Miller’s passing quickly spread across social media, with thousands paying tribute to a man who shaped an era. The Pacers organization released a heartfelt statement:
“Today, we lost more than a basketball icon—we lost a brother, a friend, a hero. Reggie Miller gave everything to this franchise, this city, and this sport. His legacy will live on, not just in banners and records, but in the hearts of every Hoosier who ever believed in underdogs.
