Reggie Miller, the former NBA star and current analyst, found himself at the center of controversy during TNT’s broadcast of Game 4 between the Nuggets and Timberwolves on Sunday night.
While the game progressed, attention shifted from Miller’s game analysis to his comments about a postgame clip featuring Anthony Edwards from the previous game.
In the clip, Edwards owned up to the Timberwolves’ Game 3 loss, which Miller praised for its maturity. However, Miller then shifted to a more contentious note by subtly criticizing LeBron James, an NBA luminary, without explicitly naming him. He remarked, “There’s certain players that have veteran status that are on people’s Mt. Rushmore that are quick to deflect and blame,” an apparent nod to LeBron.

Miller’s comment quickly stirred reactions online, with fans taking to social media to express their views. Some applauded his candor, while others criticized him for what they saw as unnecessary or insecure commentary.
The timing of Miller’s remark was particularly notable, coming after LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Denver Nuggets.
As the Timberwolves led the series 2-1 against the Nuggets going into Game 4, the remark fueled ongoing discussions about leadership and responsibility in the NBA, adding an extra layer of drama to the postseason narrative.
