    I believe that only Michael Jordan has "scored his age" any older. Michael scored 43 at age 40.

    It was fun to watch a pure shooter control a game.

    Thanks Reggie!

    correction, MJ scored 45 at age 40.

    still some pretty good company, and Reggie can even catch Jerry West in the all time scoring list, if he plays every game and average 15 ppg.

    I'm definately gonna miss him when he's gone. Always been and always will be my favorite non-Rocket. If he can get this battered Pacers team to the playoffs that's a hell of a way to go out, even if he does never get a ring. You have to admire his reasoning to go out too...he's worried about the Pacers organization and their development of the young guys, rather than himself.

    I'm hoping that he'll reconsider in the offseason, when he realizes that the team will be back to full form next season (either with Artest back or trading Artest for a different piece). It's refreshing to see a guy go out on his own terms however, and with the same team he started with.

    Karla scored 40 at age 40.

    Kareem did as well, I believe.

    It was one heck of a show last night; and at the expense of his good buddy Kobe no less.

    Bravo.

    My favorite "old guy" moment has to be Eddie Johnson's 31 in Game 3 vs. Utah in 97, followed by "Oh Mother" the next game. Regular season stuff is just less impressive. :)

    I hope Reggie comes back for one more year. Watching him in the playoffs is always fun and other than MJ I have to rank him #2 as the most clutch player (especially in the post season).

    All I have to say about Reggie is this:


    Hall of fame.
    Wish we had him
    One of the dirtiest players ever.

    I sure will miss him. Respect for an enemy is still true.

    He should patent that pullup kick of his. That might've accounted for a 1000 of his free throws.

    I don't hate the guy. He played the villain and spoiler in many playoff series, but that Tayshaun Prince block must've been one of the greatest acts of hoops Karma I've seen.

    Correction, the playoff frustration of Karla and Stockton is the greatest.
