Spike Lee arrives with gifts for Reggie Miller's MSG return - ESPN

The former Pacers star-turned-analyst infamously responded to taunts from Lee with a playoff win over the Knicks.

The former Pacers star-turned-analyst infamously responded to taunts from Lee with a playoff win over the Knicks.

The series between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers continued with Game 2 on Wednesday, and a familiar rival for Knicks fans sat at the scorer's table: Reggie Miller.

Miller, whose No. 31 is retired by the Pacers, had multiple memorable moments against the Knicks in the playoffs.

His 25-point, fourth-quarter performance in Game 5 of the 1994 Eastern Conference finals rompted trash talk from Spike Lee, one of the Knicks most famous fans. New York newspapers would go on to blame Lee, who taunted Miller throughout the game.

With the Hall of Famer back at Madison Square Garden Wednesday, Lee brought framed newspaper clippings that criticized the Academy Award-winning director, which Miller ended up signing.

The Knicks are looking to go up 2-0 in the Eastern Conference semifinals. New York is 8-1 in its last nine best-of-7 series when holding a 2-0 lead, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
