Former NBA star Reggie Miller turns 50 today

Updated



To the younger generation, Reggie Miller may just be a talking head analyzing NBA games. But for some 18 years from 1989, all with the Indiana Pacers, the 6'7" guard out of UCLA was one of the best shooters the game had seen.

On his 50th birthday, we recognize the memorable career Miller enjoyed spanning three different decades -- whether Spike Lee would like to admit to this greatness or not.

Miller was a five-time All-Star and averaged more than 18 point per game for his career. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2012, and the Pacers raised his No. 31 to the rafters in 2006.
