Totem! There are only three honors in life, but why does Halliburton still pay tribute to him?

After Halliburton hit a buzzer-beating tie today, he made Reggie Miller's classic "throat lock" action to pay tribute to the legend. Young fans may not know much about Miller, so they checked his career honors and were selected into the All-Star team only 3 times and 5 times. In addition, there are no other hard honors. Why can such a player become a totem-like figure of the Pacers?

First, Miller was a pioneer of the three-point revolution. It has been ranked first in the history three-point list for a long time. In an era when three-pointers were not valued, he used precise long-range shots to change the way of the game.

Secondly, Miller has many legendary performances in the playoffs and is a famous "key ball killer". Including the 1995 Eastern Conference Semi-Decision scored 8 points in a row to reverse the Knicks in the last 8.9 seconds, the 1998 Eastern Conference Semi-Decision pushed Jordan to make a final three-pointer, and the 25-point final in the first round in 2002 led the team to reverse the Nets, etc.

Finally, Miller's career legend was full. The East was Jordan's world in the 1990s, but Miller led the Pacers to become the Bulls' strongest opponent many times. In the 2000 finals, he led the team to challenge the OK combination of Lakers, but he was still honored even if he lost. In addition, Miller has been sticking to the Pacers for 18 years and has become an iconic figure in the small ball market. And his "trash talk" and his grudges with Spike Lee are all legendary.

Miller's status does not depend on accumulating honors, but on legend, key ball, and influence of the times. He proved to the world that a star without MVP or championship can still become a symbol of the times by virtue of his tough battles!
