First Pip, now Reggie's caught the un-retire bug(from the Dallas Morning News):
No way of knowing how serious it is yet, but Reggie Miller could be a candidate for the Mavericks' vacant roster spot.
Owner Mark Cuban brought up Miller's name before Monday's game against the Hawks. The former Indiana Pacers star is the No. 1 3-point shooter in NBA history. He retired after the 2004-05 season, but remains in excellent physical shape.
This one doesn't surprise me as much as Pippen's hair brained scheme for a number of reasons: 1) Miller played more recently, in fact, he's only been out of the league a year and a half. 2) Miller wasn't really washed up at the time of his retirement. Dude did 15 pts, and a couple of 3s a night in his last season. 3) Miller seems clear on his capabilities and role: step up, knock down open 3s, provide leadership for Howard and Harris, hustle on back to the bench. Pippen thinks he'll be running the point, logging serious minutes, etc. Dream a little dream. My only question is how Miller can ever respect Avery Johnson, a guy who's only like 3 months older than him, and a guy whom he once (probably) referred to as a hobbit (midget, dwarf, pixie, elf, asshole) when they were playing against each other.

At least Scottie has his looks.
Pippen is an overemotional bastard. Remember way back in 1995 when he was crying in his beer over Horrace grant? He has no longview.
Well played. Scottie is (marginally) less ugly than Reggie Miller, who's a tuxedo away from being a James Bond villain. And yes Scottie Pipps is a creampuff. I once saw him crying at the end of Spy Kids.
After Reggie Miller returns, the road is open for the great Larry Bird to come back into the league. What do you think capt'n?
The great Larry Bird is gonna need some help from the Great Steve Austin (6 Million Dollar Man) to return. I'd love to see it. We have the technology...
Methinks Anonymous and Cap'n Swag are not serious! You don't jest like this about great men!
