When did basketball stop becoming a contact sport?

As a Pacers fan, I wonder what Reggie Miller would've done in today's NBA, chucking 10+ 3s a game ... but I LOVED the blood-and-guts era of the '80s and '90s. The Pacers/Knicks wars of the '90s were some of the best theater -- total wrestling match in the paint.

I missed this post. You should be called for a personal foul, unnecessary roughness, for bringing up Reggie Miller in any thread that involves the Knicks. That's just mean, man.

I think they split things about 50/50, but I give the Knicks the advantage by ending the Pacers' best shot at a title in '99 ... even if it came on a phantom foul on LJ

I really hated the Knicks back then, but now I just appreciate the great entertainment those villains provided from '93-'00. Mason/Oakley vs. the Davis boys was just pure WAR.

But because I couldn't let Knicks cards own the thread, here's my favorite from my collection.

That's a nice card. Honestly, I still can't see Spike Lee or a clip from a Spike Lee movie without seeing Reggie f**king Miller.

"8 points, 9 seconds." That's up there with, "Patrick Ewing, finger roll." And "Charles Smith, under the basket."

When I heard this week that Spike and Ewing would be signing at the National, I emailed Tristar to tell them they need to get Reggie in that building. For a Spike/Reggie signed piece, they can just take all my money.

I would be shocked if Spike Lee signs anything with Reggie Miller. I heard that they actually hate each other.

Here's a card depicting prime Mace. Can't have the Oak and not the Mace.
