Reggie Miller declares he ‘owned this city’ in return to MSG for Knicks-Pacers Game 2
Reggie Miller returned to Madison Square Garden with fighting words.
The notorious Knicks killer didn’t hold back during a pregame hit on TNT before calling Game 2 of the Knicks and Pacers’ second-round playoff series on Wednesday.
Miller averaged 23.1 points over 35 playoff games against the Knicks between 1993 and 2000, a stretch in which his Pacers met New York for six postseason series.
“People are like, ‘Aren’t you worried about going back to New York City and calling a game?’ No,” Miller said on the air, moments before tipoff. “I’ve owned this city. I’ve owned this building, so why would I be worried?”
Miller received a subdued response from the Garden crowd as he walked onto the court, where he met his one-time rival, Spike Lee, to pose for pregame photos and sign a couple of autographs for the director.
The sharp-shooting Miller’s famous interactions with the filmmaker included giving him the “choke” gesture during a Pacers comeback victory in Game 5 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals. A year later, Miller scored eight points in 8.9 seconds late in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
“Me and Reggie squashed that stuff 20 years ago, so we’re friends,” Lee told the Daily News on Wednesday.
“We’re two grown men,” Lee said. “That’s dead and buried. We’re good.”

Gas prices surge, impacting Northeast Ohio delivery drivers and small businesses
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Gas prices continue to soar, hitting drivers’ wallets hard. Delivery drivers who rely on their cars for work face added expenses.
Kevin Tran hops on his bike every day to make money through DoorDash. He empathizes with his fellow food delivery workers who are paying surging gas prices.
“It’s a strain not only on their cars and mileage but just their everyday expenses,” Tran said. “They won’t get paid until they use up their own money to spend for gas.”
He has not owned a car in close to a decade because of how expensive it can be.
“The last time I remember paying for gas it was probably the better part of $2 and even then for myself that seemed like an expense that I wasn’t willing to pay for,” Tran said.
According to AAA, Monday’s national average for a gallon of gas was $3.95. That is 24 cents higher than last week and $1.02 higher than last month.
A 19 News crew found a gallon was $3.99 at a gas station in Cleveland off West 150th Street.
“You see it’s $60, so it is what it is and at this point I guess you have to do what you got to do,” one driver said.
For small businesses like A Slice Above in Strongsville, they rely on their delivery drivers to help serve customers.
Higher prices at the pump can potentially impact the bottom line.
“Delivering for the drivers that’s some thing I’ll probably have to add a little bit later but also my vendors who deliver to me will start charging me more for deliveries,” Don Bersacola, the shop’s owner, said. “That happened 10, 15 years ago. They added a delivery fee to my produce, my meats so when they deliver they’re going to start charging me more so then I have to eventually but I don’t like to do that because consumers are hurting right now so you can’t just pass everything on to them.”
Despite the rising costs for fuel, he plans to keep his prices steady.
“I’ve been here 33 years so I’ve been through a lot so I can hold on for quite some time, I think,” Bersacola said. “Some of the smaller, newer ones maybe not so but I’m pretty confident.”
For drivers, there is no end in sight for when gas prices might drop back down.
