Miller on In-Season Tournament: “Great Building Block for Young Teams”
Basketball Hall of Famer Reggie Miller joined DP today to recap the NBA Cup. Miller endorsed the Knicks raising an NBA Cup championship banner, noting the Lakers set the precedent at the commissioner’s urging. He called the in-season tournament a valuable building block for young teams like the Spurs and last year’s Oklahoma City Thunder. Miller named only four legitimate Western Conference contenders, OKC, Denver, Houston, and the Lakers, while expressing disappointment in the Cavaliers and predicting the Knicks will represent the East in the Finals, citing greater trust in Jalen Brunson over Detroit’s Cade Cunningham.
