In a recent game between the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers, Knicks fans made headlines for their passionate and profane chants directed at Pacers legend Reggie Miller. During the Knicks’ Game 2 victory, fans were heard chanting “F–k you” at Miller, a clear sign of the intense rivalry between the two teams.
Josh Hart confirmed to Miller that the fans were indeed chanting the vulgar phrase, but Miller, known for embracing his villain status during his playing days, was unfazed by the hostility. Despite the hostile welcome in New York, Miller remained confident and focused on supporting his former team.
