Reggie Miller on Cade Cunningham, Nikola Jokic, Mavericks | Dan Patrick Show | NBC Sports

IT’LL BE REGGIE WITH MIKE TIRICO AND UH, THEY WILL HAVE THE GAME. I OPENED UP, UH, THE INTERVIEW WITH REGGIE AND I TALKED ABOUT KATE CUNNINGHAM, WITH 46 SHOTS, AND, BUT IT CAME IN A WIN AND I ASKED HIM THE MOST SHOTS THAT HE EVER TOOK IN A GAME IN HIS CAREER. IT’S THE MOST POINTS I EVER SCORED IN THE GAME 57 VERSUS CHARLOTTE. AND I BELIEVE, I TOOK 27 SHOTS, AND I WAS LITERALLY EXHAUSTED AFTER THAT GAME, BUT THAT WAS NOTHING. UM, WHEN YOU LOOK AT LIKE, UH, MJ KOBE CARMELO, THOSE VOLUME SCORES. THEY PUT UP A LOT OF ATTEMPTS. I I WAS MORE ON THE EFFICIENCY SIDE. UM I TRIED I I THINK DURING THE COURSE OF A GAME. IF I GOT A 18 SHOTS I THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD BECAUSE A LOT OF FEW OF THOSE WERE 3’S. I WAS GETTING 2 DIFFERENT LINES. THAT’S HOW I GOT MY. GOT MY. YOU KNOW, 22 TO 30 WAS JUST BEING A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFICIENT, I GOT YOU WITH 29 SHOTS IN THAT GAME. 29. OKAY, 29. IN THAT GAME, 29. YEAH. OKAY, 16. YEAH, EXHAUSTED. WELL, THAT’S WHAT I TELL IVERSON AS SMALL AS HE IS, BUT HE HAD TO PUT UP AT LEAST 25 SHOTS A GAME THAT WAS THEIR OFFENSE WENT THROUGH HIM. I DON’T KNOW HOW, YOU KNOW, MIKE AND KOBE THOSE GUYS WHO YOU KNEW THEY HAD TO SHOOT. THEY KNEW THEY HAD TO SHOOT AND TO PUT UP THOSE SHOTS EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. I MEAN, IMAGINE IF I SAID TO YOU, YOU GOT TO PUT UP 29 SHOTS A GAME. THERE’S JUST NO WAY. I MEAN, PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND THE PHYSICAL TOLL, IT TAKES TO SCORE AT AN ELITE LEVEL IN THE NBA NOW GRANTED UH AND AND THINK ABOUT THIS HE HAD 45 FIELD GOAL ATTEMPTS. REMEMBER HE KADE GOT FOUL ON A FEW SHOTS TOO, SO THAT EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN LIKE 50 FIELD GOAL ATTEMPTS THAT HE WAS ATTEMPTING AND THIS IS COMING OFF A GAME THE NIGHT BEFORE. SO, THINK ABOUT THE EXHAUSTION THAT HE’S GOING THROUGH, HE TOOK A HARD FOUL IN THAT GAME, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU HIGHLIGHTED THIS, THEY WON THE GAME IN OVERTIME AND WHAT YEAH, THEY’RE UP TO 7 GAMES IN A ROW. NOW, IT’S 1 OF THOSE SNEAKY STORIES IN THE IN THIS EASTERN CONFERENCE THAT REALLY NO 1 IS TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE THEY GOT OFF TO SUCH A SLOW START THIS SEASON. KOBE TOOK 50 SHOTS. THAT WAS HIS LAST GAME, I THINK AGAINST THE JET 50. WOW, PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND AT THE END OF HIS CAREER, HE’S TAKEN 50 AGAINST THE PHILLIES INJURY. YES, LAST GAME OF YOUR, YOU KNOW WHAT? BUT I THAT I CAN SEE BECAUSE LOOK IF LAST GAME. THIS IS MY TARGET GOAL. 50. I’M GOING FOR 50 FIELD GOALS ATTEMPTS. BY THE WAY, WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOUR PACERS? UH, TYRESE OLIVER. OKAY BUT STILL THEY’VE HAD A LOT OF INJURIES. OKAY, IT IT. IT’S BEEN A IT’S BEEN A VERY, VERY DIFFICULT START TO THE SEASON FOR RICK CARLILE WITH THE PACERS. LOOK IT IT WASN’T GOING TO BE EASY AND YOU KNOW JUDGING FROM THAT FIRST GAME WHEN NIM HARD, WENT DOWN VERSUS THE OKC THUNDER. THEY’VE HAD A RASH OF INJURIES. AND LOOK, THEY ARE A TEAM. THAT GREAT. THEIR WHOLE, PARTS MISSING IN IN THE UH, IT’S LIKE A A PINTO. OH OH PINTO THE OLD SCHOOL. THAT’S OLD SCHOOL. YOU REMEMBER THOSE PINTO CARS I DO. I DO, WHAT’S THE WORST CAR YOU EVER DROVE? UH, REMEMBER THOSE SUZUKI’S DODGE SUZUKI, I BELIEVE IT WAS COREY GAINES. MY MY ROOMMATE AT UCLA. HE HE LET ME DRIVE HIS DODGE SUZUKI. OCCASIONALLY. WAIT. THAT’S WHAT THEY WERE PAYING PLAYERS AT UCLA. THEY WEREN’T PAYING FOR YOU. HIS PARENTS WERE, THEY HAD A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY SO HE LET ME DRIVE HIS DOGS SUZUKI. WE’RE TALKING REGGIE MILLER, HE’LL BE ON THE CALL WITH MIKE TO TONIGHT. AND UH IT’S THE CELTICS AND THE SIXERS. WHERE IS JOEL EMBIID? NOW LIKE THIS PHYSICALLY. BECAUSE I KNOW THEY GOT 1 OF THE BEST BACKWARDS, BUT EMBIID IS THE KEY. HE, HE’S THE KEY AND HE’S STILL ON A MINUTES RESTRICTION. I, I THINK THEY’RE HOVERING HIM AROUND 25 OR 26 AND I THINK THAT’S GOING TO BE THE MASTER PLAN GOING FORWARD FOR THIS SEASON. I THINK YOU’VE HEARD OR YOU’VE SEEN A FEW COMMENTS, SOME CUP THAT HE’S COME OUT. AND SAID, LOOK, I’D RATHER STAY HOME AND NOT PLAY IF YOU’RE GOING TO KEEP ME ON THIS MINISTRY, RESTRICTION, I THINK THE SIXERS ARE IN THE SITUATION. DAMNED IF YOU DO DAMNED IF YOU DON’T. BECAUSE IF YOU INCREASE THIS MINUTES NOW AND HE GETS HURT, IN ARMS AND BE LIKE WELL, WE TOLD YOU TO PUT THEM ON A MINISTRY RESTRICTION AND IF HE’S ON THE MINISTRY, RESTRICTION, YOU’VE GOT THE PLAYER EMBIID CRYING ABOUT PLAYING MORE MINUTES. THIS IS THE SAFE APPROACH BECAUSE DAN DO YOU KNOW THIS, HE’S INJURY-PRONE, RIGHT? AND YOU WANT TO HAVE THE THE MOST HEALTHIEST VERSION OF JOEL EMBIID, COME APRIL AND MAY BECAUSE WE WE HAVEN’T SEEN THAT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL SEASONS. HECK WE HAVE EVEN SEEN PAUL GEORGE THIS YEAR. YEAH SO WE DON’T KNOW WHAT VERSIONS OF THE SIXERS WE’RE GOING TO. SEE YOU JUST MENTIONED THIS. THEY DO HAVE 1 OF THE BEST BASKETBALL BACK COURTS. IN FACT, THEY’RE LEADING ALL BACK COURTS IN SCORING BETWEEN EDGECOMB AND MAXI. SO I KNOW WHAT I’M GETTING THERE BUT YOU’RE RIGHT IF HIT IF INDEED IS HEALTHY. AND TO ME THIS IS WHAT THE APPROACH. I WOULD TAKE IF I’M NICK NURSE AND I AM THE THE STAFF OF THE SIXERS ONCE THE ALL-STAR BREAKS, I WOULD TAKE THIS APPROACH ALL THE WAY UP TO THE ALL-STAR BREAK. ONCE THE ALL-STAR BREAK GOES EVERY GAME. AFTER THAT, IT INCREASES 1 TO 2 MINUTES. SO BY THE PLAY ABOUT 25 TO 30 GAMES AFTER THE ALL-STAR BREAK, I WOULD INCREASE HIS HIS USAGE 1 TO 2 MINUTES EVERY GAME. AND BY THE END OF THE REGULAR SEASON, HE’S UP TO 3435 WHICH THAT THAT’S KIND OF WHAT YOU WOULD WANT AND THEN YOU WOULD HOPE HE’S IN GOOD ENOUGH SHAPE. COME PLAYOFF TIME WHEN THE LEVEL GOES THROUGH THE ROOF. THAT HE’S READY TO GO BUT I NEED HIM HEALTHY IN THE END AND HE HASN’T SHOWN THAT HE CAN DO THAT. SO, KEEP HIM ON THE MINISTRY RESTRICTION, JEFF, T ON HIS PODCAST, GOT INTO A DISCUSSION ABOUT JOKER VERSUS SHACK. HOW HOW WOULD THEY DO AGAINST EACH OTHER? THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT SHAQ IN ORLANDO WITH DOMINATE JOKER. BUT JOKER WITH SHAQ AFTER THAT UH JOKER, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE HE’S INSIDE OUTSIDE. THAT HE WOULD PROBABLY UH, DRIVE SHACK CRAZY. HEY, LET ME FIRST START SAYING, ARE WE PLAYING IN? TODAY’S RULES? ARE WE PLAYING IN SHACKS RULES IN THE 90S 2000S? LIKE, WHICH 1 DO WE GET TO DO? DOES SHAQ GET TO IN THE POST AND TURN AND YOU KNOW, THIS WAS JACK’S WITH IT. TODAY’S GAME, HE WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH THAT. SO WHICH RULES ARE WE PLAYING WITH? OKAY, IF YOU SAID, LET’S PLAY TODAY’S RULES AND I GOT SHACK AT HIS PEAK AND JOKER AT HIS PEAK. WHO YOU GO? I THINK BACK DOMINATES IN ANY ERA. LET ME START BY SAYING THAT. OKAY. UM, SO IT IT WOULDN’T MATTER. I JUST THINK THEY WOULD PUT SHAQ IN A JILLIAN, PICK AND ROLLS IN TODAY’S GAME AND GET HIM OUT OF THE PAINT SHAQ WOULD HAVE TO COVER MORE PAIN. NOW, I DO AGREE. ORLANDO SHACK WHO WAS NIMBLE AND SKINNIER AND COULD RUN ALL DAY. I STILL THINK WOULD THRIVE. DOMINANT OF SHAQ WHEN HE WAS IN LA IN MUCH BIGGER HE WOULD STILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE GAME. HOW WOULD HE DO VERSUS JOKER? I MEAN NOT, I I’M STILL GOING WITH BIG FELLA. LOOK SHAQ. HE DOES. HE DENIED ME ON A LOT OF OCCASIONS. PLAY, OBVIOUSLY PLAY AGAINST, UH, THE JOKER, BUT THE JOKER. THIS BOY IS BAD. I THINK HE’S ALREADY 1 OF THE TOP. WHAT? 4 OR 5 SINNERS, IN MY OPINION. UM, KAREEM SHACK. I MEAN, YOU COULD THROW WILT IN THERE. MOSES MALONE. NO. ARE WE CONSIDERING HAKEA CENTER BECAUSE TO ME IF I WAS DOING AN ALL-TIME TEAM, HAKEE WOULD BE MY POWERFUL WORD. YEAH, I HAVE TO PUT HIM AT CENTER, OKAY? YEAH. UH, SO, YOU KNOW, JOKER’S IN THAT CONVERSATION. NO QUESTION. BUT YOU WOULD TAKE SHACK OVER HIM A A KEEM OVER HIM. SHACK, I’M TAKING KAREEM START THINKING WHERE JOKER FALLS THERE. UH, JOKER. MAKES IT LOOK EASY. YEAH. AND HE COULD HAVE PLAYED BACK IN THE 90S BECAUSE HE’S A BIG GUY AND YOU KNOW, HE WOULD TAKE YOU TO THE SEA SHACK. NEVER WOULD GUARD JOKER. THEY WOULDN’T LET SHAQ GUARD JOKER. HERE. HERE’S MY ARGUMENT WHY I LOVE. THE JOKER BECAUSE EVERY TIME I SEE BIG FELLA SHAQ, HE’S ALWAYS HE ALWAYS SAYS RICK, SMITH’S GAVE HIM FITS. SO IF RICK SMITH’S AT 74, GAVE HIM FITS. YEAH, THEN WHAT WOULD JOKER OH, DON’T YOU THINK? YES? RIGHT. SO IF IF HE’S TELLING ME ALWAYS OH MY GOD RICK SMITH’S HE I I JUST HAD NO ANSWER FOR HIM. SO IF HE’S SAYING THAT ABOUT RICK AND RICK WAS UNBELIEVABLE, DON’T GET ME WRONG, LOVE ME RICK BUT WHAT WOULD JOKER DO DO TO HIM? THEN IF THAT WAS THE CASE, YOU KNOW, SHAQ GETS KIND OF CAUGHT UP AT TIMES. IN HIS FEELINGS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, HE GETS CAUGHT IN HIS FEELINGS AT TIMES YOU GUYS LOOK. JOKER IS A 2 2 3 TIME MVP 2 TIME. 3 TIME. 3 TIME MVP. HE’S WANTED A CHIP. MISSING NOW FROM HIS RESUME. ANOTHER TITLE. OUR OUR TITLE, IF HE GETS ANOTHER TITLE OR 2 THEN THE CONVERSATION IS REALLY VALID, REALLY VALID BECAUSE WE KNOW SHAQ HAS 4. SO IS SHAQ TRYING TO STATE HIS CASE LIKE A PREEMPTIVE HEY BEFORE YOU PUT JOKER AHEAD OF ME. DON’T FORGET WHAT I DID. EXACTLY. OKAY BUT WE’LL NEVER FORGET JACK. I WILL CERTAINLY NEVER FORGET JACK AND WHAT HE DID TO MY BELOVED PACERS. THE MAVERICK SITUATION NOW THEY’RE THEY’RE CHANTING FIRE NICO. WHY CAN’T THEY BE PATIENT THERE IN DALLAS THAT YOU DO HAVE? GUYS THAT ARE INJURED COMING BACK BUT NOW YOU WANT NICO, YOU WANTED HIM OUT, THEN YOU WIN THE LOTTERY. YOU GET COOPER FLAGG AND EVERYTHING’S GREAT. AND NOW YOU’RE NOT PLAYING WELL AND NOW THEY WANT TO FIRE THE GM. WELL, WELL, BE BECAUSE THE EXPECTED COOPER TO HAVE A VICTOR WITHIN YAMA ROOKIE SEASON AND IT’S NOT BEEN HASN’T BEEN QUITE THAT. THE INJURIES ANTHONY DAVIS, HAS BEEN HURT, OBVIOUSLY KNOW KYRIE ALL SEASON. IT’S GONNA BE HARD TO JUDGE HIS TEAM UNTIL KYRIE IN. ADD GET BACK AD. LOOKS PRETTY BIG. HAVE YOU SEEN HIM? YES, HE DOES. HE’S A BIG MAN. WHAT’S GOING ON IN DALLAS BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT THEY USED TO SAY ABOUT LUCA, RIGHT? YEAH. IMAGINE HOW MUCH YOU WOULD HAVE WAITED IF YOU PLAYED IN DALLAS, GOOD LORD. IS THAT TEXAS BARBECUE? REALLY THAT GOOD. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN RICK MAHORN, YOU KNOW. YEAH, I MEAN, PLAY IS STRUGGLING SHOOTING THE BASKETBALL. SO LOOK, THIS TEAM IS HARD TO JUDGE UNTIL JASON KIDD. CAN GET THEM ALL TOGETHER AND THEY START PLAYING. BUT THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS YOU’RE IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE, THERE’S NO TIME. YEAH, YOU KNOW TO FIGURE IT OUT. YOU’VE GOT TO HIT THE GROUND ROLLING IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE. SO LOOK, YOU KNOW, THEY’RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE CHANTING FIRE, NICO, THEY WERE DOING THAT LAST SEASON. UM AND THEN YOU LOOK AT LUCA AND WITH THE LAKERS ARE DOING. SO OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF ADDS A LITTLE BIT OF FUEL TO. YEAH, DEFINITELY MAYBE CLAY’S IN LOVE, MAYBE THAT’S WHAT, YOU KNOW, THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING IN LOVE. OH, I KNOW. BUT MAYBE IT’S AFFECTED HIS GAME. YOU KNOW, WHO’S HE GOING OUT WITH NICKI MINAJ? SHE SAID, WHO’S GONNA, OH, MEGAN THE STALLION. OH, I’M SORRY. THERE YOU GO. LOOK. COME ON, COME ON. ON YOUR P. YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS MEGAN, IS IT T H E E. YES E E V OKAY MEGAN THE STALLION. YES SHE’S A LOVELY. LOVELY GIRL. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IN HERE, OF COURSE. AND AND WE ALL LOVE CLAY. I LOVE ME SOME KLAY THOMPSON, SHOOT OR CHUTE. OH, BY THE WAY, I SAW THE VIDEO WHERE YOU WERE SHOOTING A COUPLE WAS THAT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, WHERE YES IT WAS IT WAS LIKE 6, PEOPLE THINK I’M I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO 10 DAYS. NO I AM. NO I’M NOT. THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE. THAT WAS I JUST WANTED THE PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT AND YOU AND I TALK ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME THAT WILL BE THE LAST THING THAT WILL EVER LEAVE ME. I CAN ALWAYS SHOOT. SO SOMEONE’S GONNA TELL ME TO SHOOT. COME ON MAN, I CAN DO THAT ALL DAY. THAT’S EASY. HAVE FUN TONIGHT. TELL, MIKE TO WE SET ALONE WE LOVE US SOME MICHAEL TO RICO. SEE YOU BUDDY OR REGGIE MILLER ONCE AGAIN THAT WAS BEFORE. NICO HARRISON
