Reggie Miller is having the last laugh again.
The Pacers trolled the Knicks on Instagram after Sunday’s Game 7 loss to Indiana at Madison Square Garden.
Miller remains a central figure in the Knicks-Pacers rivalry, and the teams’ postseason meetings renewed interest in Miller’s battle with the Knicks in the ’90s.
When Miller appeared on TNT during Game 2, Knicks fans even criticized him.
And during that game, when Knicks fans were sending expletive-filled chants toward Miller, Josh Hart came to the broadcast stand to see what the fans were saying.
“I don’t know if they heard it, but I think they said, ‘Fuck you,'” Hart told Miller.
Miller remembered the moment and made sure others didn’t forget, reposting the video with a caption that rubbed salt into the Knicks’ wounds.
“It’s time for the series to change!!” Miller wrote. “Jalen Brunson, you are a true baller and the best player in the playoffs. But now you and your sons can heal together on the beautiful beaches of Cancun. Enjoy!!”
The Pacers have outscored the Knicks in the past two Game 7s at MSG since Miller used Patrick Ewing’s infamous finger roll game to lead Indiana to victory in the 1995 East semifinals.
Miller, of course, is known for trolling the Knicks over the years, and he returned to his role as New York’s villain just before appearing on the Game 2 broadcast.
“People say, ‘Aren’t you worried about coming back to New York to play?'” No, I owned this city. I am the owner of this building! So why would I worry about walking there? ” Miller said at the time.
Miller wasn’t the only one to rough up the Knicks.
The team’s X account attacks Knicks superfan Spike Lee; Tyrese Haliburton appears During the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals against the Knicks, Miller wore a sweatshirt with the infamous image of him making the choking gesture to the postgame press conference.
