Suns on national TV Thursday... and a nice ceremony for "Miller Time"

The Indiana Pacers will honor Reggie Miller by retiring his jersey at halftime of Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns on TNT.

"To know that No. 31 will be hanging from the rafters ... it'll be a special night," said Miller, now a TNT basketball analyst.

"He's the most significant player in the last 20 years, maybe 30," Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh said. "Since our ABA days. Reggie is the one who made our transformation to the NBA real."

He's best known for "Miller Time." When the game was on the line, Miller always wanted to take the big shot.

"He's made as many clutch shots as anybody who has ever played this game," said team president Larry Bird.
