1x NBA Champion
4x All-Defensive Second Team

Solid player who knew his role and played it to the T.

Reason why he is so good defensively was because he was one hell of a disciplined player. Rarely would you see him being out of position.

Very willing to set picks on offense, moved constantly without the ball.

Anyone else grew up really liking Tayshaun Prince? Used to always trade for him on NBA 2K lol.

I’ll never forget his chase down block in the playoffs against the Pacers that sealed the win. He wasn’t even in frame of the camera while Reggie Miller was taking the wide open layup and he somehow managed to block it.

Begrudgingly as a Pacers fan, it’s one of the best plays of all time.

Reggie obviously has a laundry list of great moments so it doesn’t affect his legacy much, but a lesser player would have had that as the defining moment of their career, in a bad way

To me (obviously biased), I think it’s an extraordinary play by Tayshaun as opposed to a bad play by Reggie.

Plus Reggie was so obviously clutch throughout his career that getting caught there doesn’t raise any question about his clutch bona fides.

As a Knicks fan who always never liked Reggie, I do agree with you. I remember seeing that block live on TV and immediately thought that it was a wild, extraordinary play by the Prince of the Palace. It cemented his legacy for me with their ring.

Had Reggie pulled up for a 3, they would have won. Miller Time meant 4th quarter 3 point bombs.

Reggie would’ve gotten CLOWNED in 2004 for pulling up for a 3 while leading a fastbreak. Just not even in the realm of reality in that era.

I actually remember Reggie doing that quite a bit on a 2 on 1 fast break alot, one of the few players in that era that did, but never on a clear path fast break by himself.

I don’t blame Reggie the same way I don’t blame Iguodala for those plays, they were both very old and playing heavy minutes in a grindy late series game. Their bodies couldn’t get up there a little faster or jump a little higher anymore.

I might be misremembering but can’t look up the video at work but I thought Reggie wanted to draw a foul for a 3 point play

The Palace Prince! He’s my favorite player of all time. I followed him when he was at the University of Kentucky and got his autograph his freshman year. If you haven’t seen it, look up his game against UNC in 2001. He hit 5 threes in a row to start the game. The last from the logo. I was stoked when he got drafted to Detroit, my favorite NBA team.

Not really, everyone knows that no one is getting hurt in these fights in the NBA. Also, there was no fair fight to be had in the stands during Malice. Especially back then when almost no one trained in any MMA, an NBA player could easily handle a couple regular joes in the stands. NBA is business. Tayshaun knew that.

Not obvious at all, people not understanding your joke doesn’t mean you’re some secret comedic genius, it probably means you’re extremely unfunny. Occam’s razor of being completely unfunny

Tayshaun Prince was the only player to not leave the bench duing Malice at the Palace
