'I would've said LeBron': Reggie Miller discusses his provocative 'Mount Rushmore' comment
If Reggie Miller wasn't talking about LeBron James, who was he talking about?
Miller, the Indiana Pacers legend and TNT NBA analyst, joined the "Dan Patrick Show" on Tuesday to talk all things playoffs.
Patrick steered the conversation toward a comment from Miller during a game broadcast over the weekend: "We have veterans in our game that are on a lot of people's Mount Rushmore, who like to deflect and point fingers at others, when there's a 22-year-old saying, 'This is on me.'"
When Patrick asked if Miller was discussing LeBron James, Miller scoffed: "Oh, come on." Miller said he was praising Anthony Edwards, who has quickly become the Minnesota Timberwolves' leader.
"If it was LeBron, I would've said LeBron," Miller said.
It's been noted that James and Kevin Durant have seen a lot of coaches come and go in recent years. James' Los Angeles Lakers recently fired coach Darvin Ham after two seasons, while Durant's Phoenix Suns fired coach Frank Vogel after one year.

So who was Miller discussing?
"I will leave it up to interpretation," he said. "Everything does not revolve around LeBron, guys."
