Reggie Miller to retire

I have mixed feelings about Miller. I loved that he beat up the Knicks, and I respected his ability to come up with so many big shots. Also, a lost art in the NBA is moving without the ball and Miller is very good at this, especially the way he runs off picks. Finally, he is also more than a shooter -- he can get points driving to the basket despite his size, and he can draw fouls.

Drawing fouls is what drove me crazy about Miller. Almost no one flopped as much as Miller, and he'd go out of his way to politic for a call. It's one thing to draw a foul in the flow of a legitimate move to the basket. It's another thing to throw your body into a defender with no real intention of scoring (the sole intention being to get a whistle). Then again, NBA refs were dumb enough to fall for Miller's tricks.
