When it comes to NBA history, there are plenty of lists Reggie Miller could easily land on: greatest shooters of all time, best clutch performers or even the most iconic Pacers ever.
But anyone who watched him play knows there was another side to Reggie. He was fiery, trash-talked with the best of them and never backed down from a scuffle. That reputation has earned him a spot on a more notorious list, one that some players might shy away from. But for Miller? He wears it like a badge of honor.
The list we’re talking about here? It’s none other than the all-time leaders in NBA ejections and yep, Reggie Miller cracks the top 10 with 12 toss-outs to his name. But he’s in pretty legendary company. Shaq got the boot 14 times, Charles Barkley racked up 16, and Dwight Howard’s sitting at 17.

And at the top? That crown goes to former Portland Trail Blazer Rasheed Wallace, who absolutely blew everyone away with a wild 29 ejections. So while it’s not your typical “greatest” list, it’s safe to say Reggie’s in good company and not losing sleep over it.
Miller shared the post on his Instagram with a caption that said, "Actually kind of honored to be on this list."

Some of the most unforgettable moments include a 1993 playoff clash when the New York Knicks' John Starks headbutted him, igniting a frenzy that led to ejections for both players
Miller’s competitive edge also showed in heated exchanges with legends like Michael Jordan and his trash-talking battles with Spike Lee during the Knicks-Pacers rivalry — all moments that reflected his relentless passion and earned him that spot among the league’s most notorious ejected players.
