The NBA broadcasting world just got shook, with a shake-up bigger than Charles Barkley’s golf swing. After giving two decades of his life sharing iconic moments, legendary banter, and basketball brilliance, he became one of the most recognizable voices in the game. Now, the man is making a move that has got everyone talking. Reggie Miller is stepping into a new phase of his career.

For about a score of years, Reggie has been the smooth-talking basketball-savant glue that held the TNT ship together. He always had a personable character be it always roasting Chuck, or just vibing with legends such as Shaq or Ernie Reggie Miller was a must-watch. The man who made clutch threes and equally clutch commentary made everything look easy.

Here’s the kicker, starting next season, Reggie Miller will be trading his TNT mic for a new gig as NBC’s lead game analyst.  Evan Sidery shared a post on X, stating, “NBC announced Reggie Miller will be leaving TNT to join their broadcast team as a lead game analyst beginning next season. Miller was with TNT for 20 years.” For TNT, this is a tough pill to swallow, as replacing a legend will not be easy, However, for NBC, it is a slam dunk hire. The knowledge, charisma and the ability to break down the game in a way Reggie possess is second to none. His ability to decode information to the ground level, so that even an individual who calls travelling “walking” can understand is a huge win.

To lose a hall-of-famer, a guy who understands how to keep things entertaining is a big blow to any organization. However, one entity’s loss is another’s treasure. But much to the dismay of Reggie Miller, most fans don’t really condone what he stands for. Lets see what they have to say.

How Fans Reacted To Reggie Miller’s Departure

The fans had varied reactions to his addition to the NBC crew. One fan wrote, “I was looking forward to never hearing from him again.” Letting their disdain for Reggie Miller’s commentary show. Another fan added to the sentiment, “Nails on a chalkboard commenting.” One user, seeing the post commented, “Hoping it said “retired “.” The common tone of the comments were the fans expressing joy, one fan wrote, “OH GREAT MORE LAKER HATING COMMENTARY WHILE LOVING THE OTHER TEAM. GET THIS GUY AND DORIS AWAY.” Another fan wrote, “Finally answered prayer. Imagine listening to him for 20 yrs lmaooooo.”

However, not all comments were of hate and a negative tonality. A fan commented, “I hope Kevin Harlan joins him. Great duo.” Speaking highly of Reggie’s acumen. Another fan wrote, “Amazing news,” while another fan wrote, “Glad the NBA is back on NBC. A lot of nostalgia from my childhood watching Shaq’s Lakers on the weekends with Bill Walton yelling “THROW IT DOWN BIGMAN.” The good old days.” Another one of the fans wrote, “That’s a good pick up for NBC. Reggie is one of the few ones on that clown show that is good and offers insight.”

So, what’s next? Will Reggie bring the same heat to the NBC that he brought to TNT? Or will it prove to second what the fans think? What do you think? Is Reggie’s move to NBC a win, or are you already mourning the end of the TNT dream team?
