Reggie Miller Grammatically Challenged (VIDEO)

Former basketball player and current NBA commentator Reggie Miller has trouble speaking coherently. It’s not a big deal if you’re fixing pipes or answering phones for Comcast but when your job is to literally run your mouth or hours on end it can present a problem. He often has trouble with basic conjugations, which is typical of ESL people who have immigrated to the United States. Miller is from Riverside though. He tends to toss in a few dozen extra propositions and clauses into each sentence. I once saw him order Animal Style at an In and Out Burger. They had to close the franchise.

Miller’s latest thing is he says “No pun intended” after making generic statements which are in no way puns. He will say things like “That was a difficult shot, no pun intended.” There is then an awkward pause while his broadcast partner waits to see if he’s going to shoot himself. There is a fine art to puns. It’s called no using them. Miller’s halfway there. A little Rosetta Stone and kicking this habit should be a slam dunk.
