Reggie Miller was not announced as one of the 12 finalists for enshrinement into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011 on Friday.

Miller, in his first year of eligibility, was believed by many to be a top candidate.

"Reggie Miller, that guy's a Hall of Famer,' said Bill Walton. "The Hall of Fame is about history, it's about changing the course of history. I am flabbergasted, flabbergasted on a lot of fronts. Flabbergasted that Jamaal Wilkes is not already in the Hall of Fame, flabbergasted that Reggie Miller is not front and center here today. If I was in charge, things would be different."
