Miller Defends SGA, Says Podcasters Must Stop Criticizing His Play
Reggie Miller defended Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on The Dan Patrick Show ahead of Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, telling podcasters to stop overreacting to SGA’s foul-drawing and blaming officials instead. He noted SGA’s free-throw rate is down this season, argued the guard’s polished game is underappreciated, and drew historical comparisons to Michael Jordan while contrasting SGA with Luka Dončić as different benchmarks in the 2026 playoffs.
