Pacers to retire Miller’s No. 31 in March

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Pacers will retire Reggie Miller’s No. 31 in March.

Miller played his entire NBA career with Indiana and retired after last season as the Pacers’ leader in points, assists and steals. He also was a five-time All-Star and set NBA records for 3-point goals made and attempted.

“This is a truly deserving honor for Reggie,” Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh said Thursday. “On and off the court, what he gave to this franchise, this city and this state for 18 years puts him among the elite athletes to have played professional sports. Number 31 in the rafters adds another legacy to the great tradition of Indiana basketball.”

more kudos for my favorite player, and pretty good for a skinny jump shooter from lost angels!
