Reggie Miller was throwing shade at LeBron without mentioning his name
Miller claims LeBron blames others too muchLAPRESSE
Reggie Miller, former NBA star turned analyst, stirred up controversy during Sunday night’s TNT broadcast of the Nuggets-Timberwolves Game 4.
As the game unfolded, Miller found himself in the spotlight not for his analysis of the game but for his remarks on a postgame clip featuring Anthony Edwards.
During the first quarter of the playoff matchup, TNT aired a segment where Anthony Edwards took responsibility for the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Game 3 loss.
Miller commended Edwards for his mature stance, but then veered into controversial territory by taking a veiled jab at LeBron James, a titan of the NBA.
In a thinly veiled critique, Miller remarked, “There’s certain players that have veteran status that are on people’s Mt. Rushmore that are quick to deflect and blame,” clearly alluding to LeBron James without directly mentioning his name.
Fans were divided on Miller’s stance
The remark didn’t go unnoticed by fans, who swiftly took to social media to weigh in on Miller’s unexpected callout.
Responses varied from support to criticism, with some applauding Miller’s boldness and others labeling him as “insecure.”
The timing of Miller’s remark adds another layer of intrigue, given LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers’ recent first-round exit at the hands of the Denver Nuggets earlier in the postseason.
Meanwhile, the Timberwolves held a 2-1 lead over the Nuggets heading into the pivotal Game 4.
Miller’s comment not only sparked debate among fans but also reignited discussions about accountability and leadership in the NBA, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating further developments on and off the court.
