In a monumental and unexpected announcement, the NBA Board of Governors, along with the Herb Simon Family, owners of the Indiana Pacers, have confirmed that Reggie Miller, the legendary sharpshooter and longtime face of the franchise, will return to the basketball world—not as a coach, player, or commentator—but as the new NBA Commissioner.

Miller, a five-time All-Star, Hall of Famer, and arguably the greatest Pacer of all time, will be stepping into the shoes of current commissioner Adam Silver, who announced earlier this year that he would step down after more than a decade at the helm.

“It’s time to give back to the game that gave me everything.”

At an emotional press conference held at NBA headquarters in Manhattan, Miller said:

“This game has given me everything — a platform, a purpose, and a lifelong connection to millions of fans. I’ve been away from the court, but not the culture. It’s time to shape the future of basketball, and I’m honored to lead the league into its next era.”

Sources close to the league indicate that Miller was unanimously voted in by the Board, with particular support from former rivals and colleagues alike.

A New Era Begins

Reggie Miller’s appointment signals a bold new direction for the NBA. Known for his fiery competitiveness, sharp wit, and deep understanding of the game, Miller has promised to prioritize:

• Global expansion
• Player empowerment with accountability
• Revamped All-Star Weekend
• Technological innovation, including AI-powered officiating reviews
• A deeper focus on mental health initiatives for players

Reaction Across the League

Players and coaches across the NBA have voiced their excitement.

LeBron James tweeted:

“From deep downtown… COMMISSIONER REGGIE! Let’s GO!!! 🔥🔥🔥 #Respect”

Steph Curry posted on Instagram:

“The OG shooter leading the league now? This is gonna be fun.”

Meanwhile, Pacers fans in Indianapolis flooded downtown streets in celebration, chanting “REG-GIE! REG-GIE!” as murals of Miller in both his #31 jersey and a commissioner’s suit began popping up overnight.
