Reggie Miller is one of the best guards in NBA history.
After his legendary run with the Indiana Pacers, the Basketball Hall of Famer has become one of the most notable broadcasters in the sport.
He is open in sharing his opinions on current (and former) NBA stars.
Reggie Miller Makes Feelings Clear About Larry Bird
Recently, Miller did an interview with Dan Patrick, and he was asked for his thoughts on Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird.
Miller: “Larry Bird could play in any era, generation and dominate… Larry Bird would dominate in today’s games, and he gets to shoot 15-20 threes. Are you kidding me?”
Bird’s Legendary Boston Celtics Run
After playing at Indiana State, Bird went on to spend his entire pro career with the Celtics (13 seasons).
The 12-time All-Star had career averages of 24.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.7 steals per contest while shooting 49.6% from the field and 37.6% from three-point range in 897 games.
He led the Celtics to three NBA Championships.

Miller And Bird Go Back
Following his playing days, Bird had a brief stint as head coach of the Pacers.
Over three seasons, he went 147-67 during his time at the helm.
The Pacers reached the 2000 NBA Finals, but lost to Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers in six games.
Miller spent his entire 18-year career with the Pacers, so he was able to play for Bird in those three seasons.
The five-time All-Star star had career averages of 18.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 47.1% from the field and 39.5% from three-point range in 1,389 games.
He retired after the 2005 season.
Miller was unable to win a title, but he is one of the best shooters the game has ever seen.
