Hall of Famer Reggie Miller will always be partly remembered for his innate ability to get under the skin of the entire New York Knicks fanbase and roster.
The professional Knicks-irritator isn’t letting retirement from the league stop him from taking shots at his old rival, either.
During the TNT broadcast of the Washington Wizards and Golden State Warriors game on Thursday night, a graphic showcasing Miller’s picks for the Eastern Conference All-Star Game reserves was shown on screen.

No, that is not a type. Making a dig at the dysfunctional New York Knicks, Reggie Miller gave an honorable mention to Zion Williamson, whom Miller listed as a Knicks player.
In 14th place in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks are only one win ahead of being the worst team in the league with a 10-36 record.
Obviously, New York big man Kristaps Porzingis would likely be worthy of some All-Star buzz if he were healthy, but with sidelined since the start of the season, the Knicks are devoid entirely of All-Star talent. They are even one of the few teams in the league that doesn’t have a single player averaging at least 20 points a game.
Despite their owner, James Dolan, claiming otherwise, it is apparent that this team is tanking. At least Reggie was kind enough to lend to the possibility that New York is able to land Duke sensation Zion Williamson in the upcoming NBA Draft.
Many believe Zion could be a once-a-generation type player, which is exactly what the Knicks need.
With only five playoff appearances in the 21st century, the return of winning basketball to Madison Square Garden is long overdue, and even Reggie knows it.
