Comebacks

The other day I was in disbelief because I saw that Reggie Miller was contemplating a comeback with the Boston Celtics. At age 42 and as wiry as ever, Reggie was ready to comeback and show that he can still score. The Celtics were offering him a 15-20 minute playing time framework. I could not figure out why he would even consider it because of the fact that he is going to be a legend in the hall of fame because of his style of play and obviously his record for three point shots made. Why would he risk his reputation by making a comeback; why not be remembered as the Reggie Miller of old rather than some washed-up guy that was desperate for a ring? I think he should stay in retirement and enjoy the memories of his career. Besides, why do the Celtics need Reggie Miller when they already have Ray Allen? Also, would Reggie Miller be able to play the only way he knows how which is running to and fro, getting free of defenders for an open shot? He is older now and probably cannot run the same. Just a thought.
