LOS ANGELES — As the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend concludes this Sunday, February 15, Indiana Pacers legend and Hall of Famer Reggie Miller has taken center stage in his new role as a lead analyst for NBC Sports. The five-time All-Star, who recently transitioned to NBC for the 2025-26 season following TNT’s exit from NBA broadcasting, provided expert commentary on the league’s experimental “U.S. vs. World” format at the Intuit Dome.
A New Chapter in Broadcasting
Miller’s move to NBC marks a significant shift in the sports media landscape. After years as a staple of “Inside the NBA” on TNT, Miller joined executive producer Sam Flood and play-by-play announcer Noah Eagle to anchor NBC’s return to professional basketball coverage. During the All-Star media conference, Miller expressed his excitement about the “Sunday Night Basketball” initiative and the network’s historic quadruple-header of matchups.
Earlier this weekend, Miller made headlines with a bold prediction regarding Charlotte Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel’s performance in the 3-point contest, further cementing his status as the premier voice for long-range shooting analysis.
The Legacy of “The Knick Killer”
Reggie Miller’s transition to the broadcast booth is backed by one of the most storied careers in NBA history. Drafted 11th overall by the Indiana Pacers in 1987, Miller played his entire 18-year career in Indianapolis. At the time of his retirement in 2005, he held the NBA record for the most career 3-point field goals made (2,560), a mark that has since been surpassed only by Ray Allen and Stephen Curry.
Key Career Statistics:
- Total Points: 25,279 (18.2 PPG)
- Games Played: 1,389
- All-Star Selections: 5
- Shooting Splits: Member of the elite 50-40-90 club (1993-94 season)
- Hall of Fame Induction: 2012
Analysis on Current NBA Trends
Beyond his broadcasting duties, Miller remains a vocal critic and analyst of the modern game. He recently weighed in on the Boston Celtics’ roster moves, suggesting that the acquisition of Nikola Vucevic was a strategic “big picture” play to support Jayson Tatum’s return from an Achilles injury. Miller noted that the Celtics’ championship window remains open, provided they manage the health of their superstars.
As the NBA enters the final stretch of the 2025-26 regular season, Miller’s insights will continue to be a focal point of NBC’s coverage, bringing the same “clutch” energy to the microphone that he once brought to the hardwood at Market Square Arena and Madison Square Garden.
