I’ve never had a chance to tell you that I’m sorry. No, we all understood what our motivation was for that season. It wasn’t for us. It was for you. The whole motivation for getting things done the right way and getting the championship was for you. So, I never got a chance to apologize to you for my actions. Now, with me saying that, I love you even more because you defended me because you knew that I was just being a loyal teammate. First of all, I got to take a drink cuz Told you I didn’t want to go there, man. I’m trying to hold mine in. All right, let me stop. You don’t need to say that to me, man. Come on, man. So, you don’t need to apologize to me. First of all, you young cats, and when I say young, I mean Jamal, Germaine, Al, yourself, Ron, those last few years in Indiana, my best years, I didn’t have my superpowers, but I felt and you guys made me feel like I was Superman. We had some dogs, man. We had a squad that was arguably and I played on some Indiana teams that were destined, should have, could have, but always came short. That team, we were stacked, man. We had the best interior defender in Germaine. We had the best perimeter defender in my opinion to this day in Ron. You coming having been a champion with these young guys. We had just lost to Detroit the year before without you and we smacked him there. But you’ll need to apologize because that’s basketball. And that’s life.

  1. That touched me that team was a great team yes they and Reggie didn't win a chip but that not happening should never take away from the journey you take with your (dogs) and the memories winning in life means more

  2. Man, listening to this after all these years and was a let o witness that event, wild. What an amazing short

  3. He could’ve apologized man to man a long time ago but waited years later to do it in front of an audience for the purpose of virtue signaling.

  4. B.S.!!!! Certain teammates were pissed off and certain players just needed an excuse to go batshit crazy!!!!

  5. Speaking from someone who is born and raised in Indy… that year was supposed to be Reggie’s ring. It was really ruined by the malice at the palace. This means much more to reggie than it does to the world. And it means something for the people in Indiana who love this team and Reggie. Reggie is our Jordan. Reggie is our lebron. And u won’t ever convince us differently. “Boom baby”

  6. Reggie is the guy who always talks about best shooters in NBA.. But, he forgot that he was better shooter of them all.

  7. Why is it that us men can only be this vulnerable with other men. Why….cause this shit comes from the heart. Much love and respect!!!!

  8. It’s a basketball game, lol it’s crazy. These are the most paid people in the world. Someone good with a basketball not a person. Who’s a good person to his community or benefits his community in any type of way there’s a person who could throw a ball in a hoop, this world nowadays idolizes the wrong things and these are the people kids look up to you don’t even know what type of person he really is or anything, but because he could play basketball kids worship these people.

  9. This is why I rock with Steven Jackson. His maturity and watching him grow from being a rookie to the grown man he is today shows. So much accountability he is willing to take now in life in numerous situations. You learn to appreciate this guy for who he truly is.

  10. Shyt made me cry. Pacers did have a good chance that year & when they lost all them boys for the season it was over till they got Granger & George nem

  11. I believe he had the same mentality for his older teammates. They wanted someone from their team who was about to retire to also get a ring.
