Reggie Miller developed a reputation as a trash talker during his nearly two decades in the NBA. Despite his aggressive demeanor on the court, he’s soft-spoken off it and has no plans to follow the lead of Michael Jordan with a pointed, revengeful Hall of Fame induction speech on Friday night.

“I didn’t see a lot of his speech, but I heard he kind of turned the table a little bit. Let me ask you this though – isn’t that what made Michael great? That’s what made him great,” he said. “I heard tidbits about him making personal attacks.”

Miller plans to take the respectful route when addressing the crowd in Springfield, Mass.

“I’m not going to get up there and trash talk. I can’t do that.”
