The Indiana Pacers are making waves in the postseason, but it was Reggie Miller’s family, not Tyrese Haliburton’s step-back or Pascal Siakam’s footwork, that stole the spotlight during TNT’s pregame show. And yes, Charles Barkley and crew got absolutely dunked on by pure Miller family charm.

There’s Reggie, always rocking the classic TNT suit and that calm, calculated confidence that used to break Knicks fans’ hearts at Madison Square Garden. Then there’s his son Ryker, who might have just become the unofficial ambassador of Pacers youth optimism after a courtside cameo that turned more heads than a Steph Curry no-look three.

It all started with a wholesome clip of Reggie watching Game 1 with his family—his dad, his wife Laura, and the kids—who went berserk during crunch time. Candace Parker brought it up on TNT, asking what the moment meant. Ryker said it was “awesome” watching the game with his family. Then came the cutest crossover since Allen Iverson made Michael Jordan stumble:

“Favorite Pacer?” “Haliburton.” “All-time?” (points at Reggie)

If that doesn’t warm your heart faster than a Robert Horry buzzer-beater, you might be a Knicks fan still holding a grudge from ’94.

But as wholesome as the moment was, Reggie Miller quickly reminded fans he’s not exactly booking parade routes through downtown Indy. When asked if the Pacers would win that night, he smirked and said, “If I knew that, I’d be in Vegas.” That’s about as optimistic as Shaq at the free-throw line.

How are Reggie Miller’s Pacers doing?

And let’s be honest—after the first quarter of Game 3, Reggie Miller might’ve been onto something. The Pacers came out shooting like it was the end of the shot clock every possession. Myles Turner bricked his way to 1-of-5, Andrew Nembhard couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat, and the whole starting five had a combined plus-minus uglier than Dennis Rodman’s hair in 1997.

Meanwhile, OKC was firing on all cylinders. Chet Holmgren shot 80% and looked like the unicorn Kristaps Porzingis was supposed to be. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander? Calmly cooked up six points in the first, while Luguentz Dort casually turned into Kyle Korver from beyond the arc. When even Isaiah Joe checks in and keeps the scoreboard stable, you know it’s trouble.

But this isn’t about just one game—it’s about legacy, and Reggie Miller’s might just be the most underrated in NBA lore. People forget the man dropped 25 points in the fourth quarter against the Knicks in ’94. They forget he once scored 8 points in 9 seconds and smiled like it was just another Tuesday. And now, he’s in the studio—collar unbuttoned just enough to flex the family tee—raising the next generation of Miller hoopers with love, loyalty, and a healthy dose of trash talk.

Ryker Miller might only be 10 years old, but with that calm on-air demeanor and laser focus on Haliburton, don’t be surprised if he’s running a post-up drill in the backyard by tomorrow. And hey, with a basketball pedigree that includes Cheryl “better-than-Reggie” Miller, MLB vet Darrell Miller, and parents who preached faith and fundamentals before fast breaks, the kid’s already got more upside than an unguarded Duncan Robinson three.

As for the Pacers? It’s still a question mark. Their offense is beautiful when it flows, but when Haliburton goes quiet, it’s like watching the Warriors without Draymond Green—pure chaos, and not the fun kind. But one thing’s for sure: Reggie Miller will be watching, TNT mic in one hand, family in the other, hoping Indy writes one more chapter in this underdog run.
