Indiana Pacers legend Reggie Miller appeared on the “Dan Patrick Show” and discussed the debut of “The Last Dance”. Miller, who was interviewed for the documentary, said he didn’t want to be a part of it, per golfdiges.com:
“Again, reluctantly, yes. I tried to fight it, I didn’t want to do it. I had everyone from the league office saying you need to be a part of this and everyone at Turner telling me I need to be a part of this and I was like ‘no, no, no, go. No, no, no, go. No, I don’t need to be a part of it.’
And then I was like, look, maybe it was a healing part of it, to talk about – I don’t want people to think it was some big rivalry, because a rivalry to me is we are on equal footing. I was not on equal footing with MJ, okay?
But I loved the battles, and I know a lot of players would bow down to him, and that just was not going to be me. It was not in my nature to do that. Maybe I should have bowed down to him. But it was good to talk about some of those times, to help myself move on.”
Miller was asked by Dan Patrick what he would do if he saw Jordan today.
“I might punch him,” Miller said.
“Are you being serious?” Patrick asked.
“Man, there was a lot of stuff being thrown back and forth,” Miller replied.
